I'm a stay-at-home mom of a 1 and 4 year old. I have extra time during the day to do a little something more and since we're a dog loving family without one I think this is the perfect fit. I've had dogs my entire life. When I was in high school I worked on a farm and we participated in animal therapy with people with disabilities. I took care of all different kinds of animals and about 15 dogs of all shapes and sizes. I'm not willing to handle any pitbulls. I know it's a horrible stigma that they have but, I was attacked by one when I was 17 and had to have total, facial reconstruction. Any other type of dog is fine.
