I grew up raising springer spaniels with my family. I helped to train them. Now when I visit home I take them on walks, feed them, sleep with them, and take them to the vet. My neighbors growing up were dog breeders and they taught me a lot. I would help take care of the puppies and even participated in delivering them to their new owners. I have stayed over at houses and dog watched and I have also had them stay at my house. I am good with both puppies and dogs. I am an energetic person myself that loves being outside so I am happy to have a dog to experience my hiking adventures with or just to hangout with me at home.
