Information Dawn F. would like to know about your pet

Unless young puppy they must be house broken. If quirks or troubles i can sometimes provide help. I have first hand experience with dogs on a cart. Maintenance is no problem but I am not comfortable with dogs in any kind of uncontrollable pain. I will consider dogs without crating on individual basis.

A typical day

I am 6.5 miles from Metro Airport and offer parking and transport with enough notice. I love to garden so we play outside most of the time, weather permitting. Adventures are too numerous to list. Of course fetch and hide n seek. Alot of soccer games (the dog always wins). I like to work on manners to some degree.

Tail Wagging Adventures

Pet care experience

If i had 100 fenced acres i would probably have 100 dogs. First hand experience with Golden Retrievers, Boxers, Dobermans, Cocker Spaniels, Labrador Retrievers, Schnauzers, Irish Wolf Hounds, Terriers and Yorkies. I periodically raise and train Golden Retrievers for Leaderdogs for the Blind. If i am completely blocked off for a couple weeks i am probably hosting a leaderdog puppy for another raiser that is on a vacation. I have a lot of repeat customers and look forward to seeing their dogs get excited when they pull into my driveway. It would be tough but if i had to pick the breed i couldn't live without i would put Goldens at the top. Even though i don't let any dogs on my bed i’m known for sleeping on the floor in the living-room with the dogs.

Dawn was very friendly and took very good care of our dogs. She also gave good tips on how to continue to care for our dogs. We'll certainly use her services again in future.
