I grew up raising miniature Schnauzers with my family when I was younger and we always had them growing up. So I have experience with dogs from birth till into their golden years. I love all animals but I really like dogs as they are more energetic and fun. The only reason I don't have my own dog is that I live alone and I would hate to leave my dog home alone all day while I am at work since some nights I may not get home till 6 or 7. My favorite dogs miniature Schnauzers and bulldogs but I really enjoy playing with bigger energetic dogs. I volunteered in my hometown as a dog walker at the Animal Welfare League for the dogs without home yet.
