I have experience minding many types of dogs from a jug, German shepherd and yorkie. I would mind the jug for a couple weeks at a time as the owner would be abroad for work. The shepherd and yorkie were the same family I would also mind them for a week while the family were away, I would also walk them on days the family were busy. I personally have owned a beagle & German shepherd so I am well versed in hyper dogs and capable of handling them.
