We have four Labrador Retrievers on the property who love to greet guests. They are all very friendly and love people... and food! They are not allowed in the guest apartment in case some of our guests may have allergies. Guests, when pulling up in the driveway or leaving, need to be aware that the dogs might be crossing over the driveway or behind their car. They seem to be fascinated by tires and don't realize that is dangerous...
