I have always had dogs in my home since I was a baby. My pups are always a huge part of the family. My dogs have had a range of personalities from very playful and goofy to very nonchalant. I love hiking and absolutely love a furry guest to accompany me. I've always been an animal person. I took part in the raising of ten golden retriever puppies when I was young and adopted one of them for myself. I am used to big dogs however I love the little guys too. In the past I have had a Labrador Retriever mix who even in his old age thought he was a puppy, a Golden Retriever who thought he was a lap dog and a Black and Tan Coonhound who was a total farm dog, currently I live with a Toy Poodle who is the best cuddler I've met.
