I have grown up with large and small dogs from Terriers, Labradors, German Shepards, Border Collies and Australian Shepards, and I have owed cats all my life. I have a very caring nature and a strong love for animals of any kind / breed. I currently own a 4 year old Australian Shepard who is a complete softie and lap dog, and a 9 year old Tom cat, as well as a Connemara pony.
