I have been around dogs my whole life. German Shepherd, Boxer, Dachshund and 2 Rescue dogs are the ones I grew up with. Plus, our house was a temporary shelter for dogs looking for new homes. I worked in Patitas de Perros wich is a non-profit organization in Argentina that rescues dogs and finds them new homes. I have worked potty trainning dogs, training my own and been around groomers. Also had some special need dogs staying at home with me for a while so I feel comfortable with them. I now own a mini Dachshund but Im always looking for new friends to play and spend time out there. If you feel I can give you a hand let me know. I would love to meet you and your little pal!
