We live on a 25 acre secluded, away from road farm, with a lot of freedom to run and play. We are a family of four. My husband and myself with two kids still living at home. I work from home and would be available all day to care for and watch over your pet. Having grown up with trained bird dogs, and having my own pets through the years, I have encountered quite the variety of breeds. I also have raised Border Collies and trained them for farmers and herding purposes. (One of which have won the National Cattle Championship) Another example of our level of patience and understanding is that We have been foster parents for children, having 30+ living in our home at one point or another.
