I hail from England - the Brits love their dogs! Loving dogs for 56 years, I have raised and trained my own dogs, and currently have two. I have trained two of them to CGC (Canine Good Citizen) level. I have had the pleasure of working as a volunteer in the past at the Seeing Eye. For the last decade I have been self employed, breeding English Goldens and Goldendoodles. We have litters twice a year, and while those times are busy for me, I have plenty of time to walk and care for dogs (and cats!) between litters. I believe in the value of training young puppies to set them up with structure and expectations for our world, and can help you maintain your training during my visits. Safety for any dog or cat I care for is of the utmost importance to me. It is what I would want for my own dogs. I am very aware of dogs staying on leash and away from potential dangers. And of course lots of loving and play - because they need the interaction during the day while they are missing you. Let's arrange a playdate! I have had a couple of cats in the past also, and love their sense of independence. They need love and interaction too, so let me know if you have a cat that needs a lap and a purr-buddy. If your pets prefer to be at home while you are away for a few days, I can visit regularly and take care of them, water plants, put lights on and get the mail in. I have years of medical training and experience, and as a breeder I am experienced in medication administration if your pets have any needs.
