I've never formally dog sat before, but I have 3 children who I have cared for all their lives, and they're doing great! I've owned everything from a mixed breed when I was 10, to Cheasapeakes, pointers, labs, and a golden. I love to bird hunt, so I've worked with and trained most of my dogs. Santa gave our girls the golden we have now. His name is Buck, after the ski area Buck HIll. He has become a very important part of our family. We have a cabin where he loves to swim with us.
