Tracie is truly a dog lover, and that means all kinds of dogs. I have known her for 18 years. During that time, she has raised from puppyhood 4 dogs and has had them their whole lives. She is now training a puppy as her last 2 dogs were given the happy shot this last year. Her male dog, Todd had inoperable cancer, and her female, who was 14, just grew old and very tired. She chooses to raise puppies because she ran a daycare for children and wanted to make sure the personality of the dog was gentle and patient. She bathes her dogs, takes them to the vet for regular checkups, and even gives them her shots herself. Her dogs are patiently house-trained and loved to bits!! Her dogs are truly her family. She has made friends with my dogs and the dogs of friends, and watches and cares for them while I am away. I don't know anyone who loves dogs as much as Tracie does.
