On a farm in Virginia I tended to over a hundred dogs from pups to retired studs. These were my Grandfather’s and his skill came from a lifetime of dog ownership.He primarily used his dogs for hunting. The first lesson he taught me was to earn the dogs trust and then I could take care of them fully. Feeding, nursing and midwife experience was a daily.Working with a local veterinarian give care to sick and wounded dogs was also part of my experience. My first dog was a German Shepard named major given to a 3 year old me by a retired marine corps major thus his name was major. Dogs give us life;we must give care in return. It’s a dogs life live it!
