I have had a dog since I was born, and now I currently own a mother/daughter pair of Boykin Spaniels that I have raised since they were puppies. I medically assisted in the complete birthing process of the daughter puppy and her litter mates- administering full-time care since birth. In fact, I successfully resuscitated one of the puppies who was stillborn. I am also able to train dogs easily- in fact, neither of my dogs require a leash while in public. My puppy has even learned watching her mother. I work from home, so I have time to devote my attention to them most of the day. My dogs are like my children, and I promise to devote the same time and energy to your dog(s) as I do mine.
