I’ve been around animals my whole life, from horses and cows, to mice and gerbils, and everything in between. My family breeds polar labradors, we strive to give them a happy and comfortable environment. ( the breeding location is not at my house, check out the website at Familylabradors ) I never hit animals, I don’t believe in that kind of punishment, I will work with the animal until it understands what I’m asking of it. If your dog chases squirrels it will be my best friend. My favorite pets are birds, I have two pet birds, my dream is to have a bird sanctuary, and raise and sell exotic birds. Thank you for considering me, I’m looking forward to getting know your pet. Thank you, David
