I am a Standard Poodle owner:
Custer takes me for 4 - 5 walks a day for about 2 - 4 miles total. Yes, "takes" me. I let him decide where we are going to go.
Custer plays with me in the yard 2 - 3 times a day.
Custer goes on hikes 3 - 4 times a week.
Custer gets to go to the neighborhood Happy Hour to play with Ginger, a neighbors dog, 5 -6 times a week. Sometimes twice a day.
Custer "fights" with me almost every day.
Custer gets to sniff everything along his walks and hikes (sometimes I may cut him short if it's something he shouldn't be sniffing).
When it snows, we go out several times a day to play in the snow. He loves to go for walks in a blizzard with deep snow!
All said, I think Custer has a pretty good life.
My neighbor (who is not a dog person), said he wants to come back as my dog!
