I grew up on a farm that always had dogs along with many other animals. I love all animals, but have always had an affinity for dogs. I have experience with breeds large and small. My 7 year old Rottweiler Sam is my best friend, we go everywhere together. She loves nature trails, swimming, and hiking. For years we have taken many other dogs with us, and now I have started to help my friends in my free time with exercise and obedience training for their young dogs. It's something I get a lot of reward out of. I'm a very active person, and there really is no better company than a good dog. Happiness starts with a wet nose, and ends with a wagging tail:)
