I grew up on a farm in northern Indiana with several dogs and many different animals. I was a 10 year participant in 4-H where I showed beef and swine. I enjoy dogs because they are the most personable animals. I have a golden doodle myself and she is full of energy. If I can handle her, I can surely handle your pooch. Ha. I am currently studying for my physical therapy boards and needing supplemental income to make it by.
