I have always had a love of dogs, and owned my own as a child. I have two dogs myself now. A cockapoo and a labrador. They love having walks on our local beach which is 2 minutes from my home. I have attended dog training classes for several years, which I helped run and I am an artist of pet portraits, which make treasured presents for people. I treat all dogs as I would my own, and give them my best attention and care. In my area we have lovely sandy beaches and a nearby park. I live in a victorian terrace house, with a secure garden, with my husband and 2 sons in their twenties. One has just finished uni, and my other son works at a school,and plays football in a team. We all love animals.
