I've had pets all my life. I now currently have three dogs. Two beagles that are 4 years of age and one boxer who is currently 2 months old. They are well trained and all get along. We are currently training the boxer to be as friendly and approachable as my beagles are and it is working well! Before my dogs I had two cats as well. I am used to animals and have been around them all of my life. I love to be active with dogs as well.
