Let's get to the point-that person who'd rather stay home with their dog? That would be me. I've never not had dogs. I was raised around numerous breeds, at my youngest I'd be found roaming the yard with our dog pack, a golden retriever, a shepherd mix, a rescued Samoyed/wolf hybrid, and two English mastiffs to top it off. sounds like a farm, but that was just moms house. Weekends with my grandparents were spent throwing sticks and playing with their Dalmatian and pitbull. When I turned 13, My neighbor gave me my first job, going after school to take care of her crew, a Rottweiler and 4 American staffordshire terriers. When I met my husband he had an American bulldog, Bruno, who's in my profile picture :) he sadly passed at age 10, but we now have a cane corso named Staley who is just our baby. I think you can probably tell, I love the big dogs but get along with the littler guys just as well. I wanted to join rover because I know my background will give owners peace of mind knowing their big guy is in good hands. These are our babies!
