( Prefered name Mark) I grew up with spaniels and labs. My wife Sally grew up with various breeds including labs, cairn terriers and Heinz 57’s! We had our own lab from an 8 week pup. So we are very aware of their habits, good and bad! We have recently during lockdown fostered 4 different pooches, given respite care to badly abused rescue doggies, and have been helping bottle feed puppies, walk dogs and muck out kennels for the Humane Society in the British Virgin Islands where we worked for 20 years. Now retired. We are in our home in the beautiful Warwickshire countryside, with excellent dog walking from our back door on bridleways, footpaths and farmland. Happy to take dogs on short or longer walks. We like to hike and loooove the companionship of a doggie while out in the countryside and in our home. We would love to but are unable to commit to a full time pooch ourselves so love looking after other peoples when we can!
