I've cared for 3 different Dog types growing up: I took care of a huge chocolate brown Labrador pitbull mix for about 3 years, Cared for a huge adorable energetic Husky for a year and have had my small chihuahua for a little over 5 years now. I'm very good with young dogs, when we originally got my Chihuahua he was not ready to be separated from his mom, so we took the role of bottle feeding him and training him at one week old.
