Brian commands great respect from those who know him. He's always held in high esteem by his peers. Having five dogs of my own, I can say that Brian has an innate affinity with all my pups. When Brian first met several of my dogs, they sensed a kinship and immediately warmed up to him without hesitation...not a single bark! Brian has a calming effect in his presence and, because of his integrity and strong, responsible nature, would be one of very few people with whom I would trust my dogs. I feel at ease in knowing that when dogs are under Brian's care, they would be considered his extended family! That alone speaks volumes! A highly recommended individual!
