I have grown up with cat and dogs all my life. When I was living at home we had an Irish Wolfhound, boxers, when I got married we had Labradors and I have a well trained Beauceron X. I spend a lot of time outside walking him in my spare time. Hiking is our favourite. I have had four daughters so while they were growing up they were surrounded with animals, rabbits, hamsters, cats, dogs and chickens. I brought them up to be respectful to animals and three of my daughters now have dogs and cats.
