Alex has been raised in a household that always had at least one dog and usually more. In Ohio where he was born we had a 15 acre farm where we did alot of rescue caring for the larger dogs that came to a rescue out of Cincinnati due to having the room for them to run but we also cared for several of the much smaller dogs that had health problems and needed a little extra attention to regain their health. Alex always took part in this work with his father and I. He has dealt with wolf dogs and the smaller terriers. In his high graduation speech he described our current family dog, Rex , a german shepherd rescue, as his best friend. He appears to have a good temperment for working with dogs of allsizes, ages and personalities and the trust him which is so important when working with dogs.
