I have had various pets over the years. My dogs have been medium sized (cross breed Retriever) and large (pedigreed German Shepherd). We bred one litter successfully from the Shepherd. She was obedience trained - a well mannered lady and a pleasure to take for a walk! We have had various cats, from pedigreed Siamese to alley cats, all with their own personalities. I raised tropical fish for a while, until we downsized. As a kid I had a snake, lizards an owl and raised a brood of guinea fowl chicks
