I have been an animal lover my entire life. When I was 12 I had a paper route and knew where each dog lived and their name. I started sitting for neighborhood dogs/cats/animals/kids at that age as well. My first dog was at the age of 8. Pepper. He was a Yorkie. As I grew up I realized how much I love big dogs as well. I have had several large mixed breeds. Most recently I got a Border Collie/Great Pyrenees and raised her from 11 weeks. I was adamant that she was fully trained. I am gentle yet firm with animals. I love snuggle time and walk every day, sometimes twice a day.
