I was raised in the dogshow world. I also have had cats and I love them as well as dogs. My Mom bred & showed Welsh Corgis for 35 years. I played with puppies, socialized our teenagers and helped my mom with obedience training. Annie, my last corgi passed 2 years ago and I miss her every day. My chihuahua is a semi-permanent resident at my moms house...helping her each day since my dad passed away. I love these furry beasts and look forward to meeting yours. You will find a kind, loving and happy household for your pet to visit, while you are away. I am available 7 days a week, as I am retired. Your dog will enjoy walks, treats (if you allow) and probably be spoiled beyond recognition when you arrive to pick them up!
