New venture doing what I love

Pet care experience

So at 16 I left school to get my Animal care diploma. Somehow I found myself in a nursing role, which I've been in for 20 years plus now, and now I feel I should be doing what I set out to do all those years ago. I love animals, they make me happy I breed boxers - I've bred for 12 years and have kept a pup from every litter. So now have 4 boxers and a rescue doberman. I own 2 parrots, a cat. Living on a farm surrounded by ducks and chickens Myself and ny partner have trained boxers to compete in obedience (which is not easy) (Taz and Luna (mother and daughter) represented the east Midlands in obedience at crufts Taz being the 1st boxer to do this. My first boxer was a handful but boy was he special, learned alot from him. Anyway anything to do with animals give me a shout, walking, sitting, visits, basic training I'd love to help. I work 2 days a week at the moment (but I am hoping to decrease hours. Weekday/weekend/some evenings , flexible hours around my current role Secure large paddock, with secure day pens, can be socialised with or without my own dogs for a romp off lead, I hope to get some agility equipment in the field for some extra fun.

A typical day

I absolutely love working with all dogs but the rewards that the more challenging ones give is an incredible. My first boxer was my 16th birthday present- we bought him at almost a year old good with people and other dogs, wow he was a nightmare but wow I learned so much from that dog! As a breeder I can honestly say that working with puppies is definitely a highlight, I love watching their personality grow and cant stress how important it is to do something with your puppy every day, trying to make each day different.
