My dogs range in age from 3 to 14. I have had my 14 year old since a pup. So I have seen it all. One of my dogs is special needs, he has hip dysplasia. I have had to do physical therapy on him to keep him walking without a lot of pain. my 14 year old dog also has allergies that I have to take care of. so I'm well-versed in different kinds of dogs and their different needs. I have a Pit, Dashound, Chiweenie, Shepherd Lab mix, and believe it or not (this is my special needs) a Bull Mastiff Dashound mix. I love walking with my dogs and just loving them. Never met a dog I didn't like. Dogs rule forever
