As a lifelong animal lover, I grew up raising and showing horses. However, my parents never let me have a dog! They had already had two Great Danes, so by the time I was born, they were ready for a quiet house for a while. I moved to Seattle two years ago and met my boyfriend, who has a sweet black lab mix. I've always loved labradors, so last year I decided to get a chocolate lab of my own. Maverick is now 1 years old, and he's currently going through retriever training school. We frequent the dog park's all over town, so if you ever see a chocolate and black fur ball running around (likely retrieving versus socializing, as that's their nature), feel free to say hi! I can't wait to meet your beautiful animal!
