My only experience I have is having my own pets, mainly dogs, chickens, tortoises and in the past cats. Over the years as a family we have had Staffordshire bull terriers, boxer x staffie and a staffie X American bull dog which we lost in December 5 due to a sudden illness. Luckily we still have our rescue Barney who is a staffie X Labrador who we've had four years now. Our in laws and friends all have dogs and we're fortunate enough to have Tugmutton common behind our garden and woodlands near by.
