You're find dude. A fenced back yeard, decent training, time and patience and what time you can give is all they need. The kids will remember them fondly, growing up together as they are.

Then our vet and the breeder we bought the dog from both misled me. The quote was something along the lines of, "with a dog this small, she'll get most of the exercise that she needs running around the house." Regardless. Moxie goes outside and loves to play, of all things, soccer! I try to take time to play with her and the kids play with her as well, but there are times when she's home alone for most of the morning and early afternoon. The kids play with her but they're 5 and 2 1/2; in most cases she gets too "jumpy" and gets put in the back yard. > Keep in mind your dog was originally bred to hunt, they like to > have a job.
