I've had dogs most of my life. I got my first puppy when I was a teenager. While raising my children, we had a puppy, Sammi, we got her at 6 weeks old. I loved her and she was a member of our family. I trained her watching her grow being the best friend to my kids. Fast forward to current times, my kids are grown and we are empty nesters. We added to our family and now have a 2 year old mixed lab (who we have had since she was 8 weeks old) and most recently we got an 8 week old goldendoodle puppy. I share this to show, I've always had dogs and I've worked with them very young until they were old. Our dogs have always been part of our family. I am an avid runner/walker, so I love to take them for walks. People recognize me in our neighborhood as typically I am outside walking one or both of ours dogs. I know the type of care I want for my pets, I would provide that same care to yours.
