Family members always had dogs but I wasn't allowed to until I moved out on my own. When I did I found my sweet pup Ryder in 2013. I taught her several tricks and potty trained her in a few short months. She loves to play with other dogs. She's not aggressive or mean. She's never injured another dog (knock on wood.) She's an 22 lb Beagle Catahoula mix. She gets very excited and loves to run in circles chasing dogs, or being chased by others. She doesn't get dominant over toys or balls. I have a dogigits zapper I use as an "electric fence" for her. I can also take them out to potty, walk with a leash! Ryder and I are excited to make new furiends :)
