I grew up on a farm, and had german shepherds my entire life. I absolutely love animals and spending time with them. I am firm with them when needed and loving elsewise. Very comfortable with large and giant breeds, big lovebugs. I am very familiar with handling emergency situations and have lots of pet knowledge to share with you if you're interested. I look forward to giving your dog lots of scritches and lovins and going on all sorts of exciting adventures. I do have 2 cats in my home that do not care at all about dogs lol. My house is flea and tick free and the cats get monthly treatments just in case. Would prefer your pets to be bug free as well ?
