I have had dogs and been getting to know more about them for the past five years. The things you learn about their behavior and how incredible they are never cease to amaze me, and the more time I spend with them, the more I want to learn! As for my own dogs, I have two little ones, which have been house trained and are adorable (but they think they are huge). We also have a loving rescue who is big but thinks he is a lap dog. Go figure. I take our dogs to the dog park everyday so I am familiarized with lots of parks and have had contact with many breeds during our super fun outings. Full time dog mom and proud.
