My partner and I have 4 lovely dogs...my 4 children joke that, we exchanged them (now all grown-up) for the dogs...they may have a point! They are certainly part of our family, and we are all lucky enough to live in a place with a bit of land. The concept of taking a dog for a walk on a lead for 20 minutes, 3 times a day, has never grabbed me. Collies and Spaniels especially, need a lot of excercise. We are looking for great homes for these pups, and feel it is especially important that you have the time and space etc to properly take care of them.
