I grew up on a farm that used working dogs to herd cattle. When I turned 12 until 22, I was the unofficial trainer and daily keeper to the many generations of working dogs. I find that each dog has its own personality and preferences, and it takes trust and mutal respect to fulfill each relationships potential. Whether it be a day or a month, I will strive to fulfill you and your puppies needs. I am a day trader, so I typically work anywhere with good internet from 6am-7:30am PST. I like to head to the local parks for walks before the sun gets hot and again before it gets dark. We useally go to bed early to do it again the next days. Weekends are no exception. I typically like to keep dogs in the house, despite having a large and secured fenced-in backyard. If the dog doesn't steal food from counters or sneak into trash, I like to have them roam free in the house as long as I can see them. I do prefer to keep the dog in the crate when I am working or sleeping.
