I have had dogs all of my life. Growing up and on into adulthood. I currently have a 1/2 chihuahua-1/2 Yorkie mix and a Australian shepherd. Previously I had and bred Golden Retrievers. I've also owned Labrador Retrievers, Dachshund, Beagle and Shih Tzu and several mixed breeds thru the years. I love dogs so much, I've always said if I could I would live in the middle of nowhere with 1,000 dogs! Of course that's not possile! Hah!
