I have loved dogs all my life! Ever since my mother bought me a black labrador retriever when I was eight, dogs have been a constant part of my life, sometimes my closest companions. I have owned and loved labs, golden retrievers, basset hounds and mixed breeds. I even raised a litter of 10 basset hound puppies when I was a boy. What an amazing experience!! Today, I have a female black lab, named Grace, whom I love dearly. She and I are constant companions. I am available day to care for all dogs, regardless of breed, and I would give your dog the same love and care that I give my own. You will be very happy to have me care for your dog.
