I have always had dogs and cats at home, in addition I have 5 years experience of being a volunteer foster home for a local charity, both for dogs and some feral kittens that were being gentled. I have experience of a large range of breeds from miniature size to XL dogs and personally have had many breeds ranging from mini dachshunds and french bulldogs to great danes and bull mastiff including whelping and pregnancy. I currently have a 6 year old siberian husky. I have also worked as a stable hand in a busy riding school caring for the horses and donkeys and leading hacks and had my own horses for 20 years.
