I have been around dogs my whole life my mom was a vet tech so we often had many dogs in our home being nursed back to health. We also fostered moms with pups who were left at shelters by breeders unable to care for them. So I have had a lot of interaction with all types of dogs. I had 2/3 dogs of our own to care for as well a neighbors dogs I would pet sit while they were away both at my own home and theirs while in high school and college.
