I grew up with dogs ?. When I lived on my own had many and all breeds of dogs. I even had a litter of Jack Rüssel puppies from my last dog who lived to be 14. I now own my daughters ? who is away at college MSU who I walk daily and play with. My son also decided to get a hunting dog black champion lab Buck who is very well behaved but will be leaving the nest soon. I will miss him (Buck) but not the shedding of black hair. This isn't a business for me. I do this just because I have time and full of life. I think I'll be a great fit for your family with hopes you same
