I grew up around dogs of all sorts. My dog when I was a kid was a Black Lab. He was the best friend a girl could have, always there when I wanted a good listener, my constant companion on adventures, and my guardian if I ever needed. I also grew up around Bedlington Terriers. My father's family bred and raised them for show for many years. My love of dogs has been a staple in my life. I have some experience with training but I will not profess to be an expert and can follow any training procedures that work for you and your pup. I currently have a 9 year old Lab/White Shepherd mix who is just like one of my children. He is the only dog that I know who understands the words "excuse me" and "get out of the kitchen". He is a very unique dog and at times he resembles a cat more than a dog. He loves to chase any kind of flying insect, laser lights, and only plays fetch inside. He is my cute, quirky, furry kid and I love him.
