I was raised with all kinds of animals constantly around; they are family. Along with chickens, horses, reptiles & rodents, my family's dogs Guiness and Jasper, a lab/pointer mix and a vizsla, taught me how important exercise is. I raised and trained a basenji, Raina, and Shasta, a jack russell, who taught me how smart dogs can be. I love dogs that want approval and need cuddling, as well as dogs that want to work and require my patience and leadership. My home is perfect for dogs that need a place to run or just to chill. My secured backyard and enclosed porch are safe play spaces and indoors has dedicated dog spaces and safety gate sectioning.
