Me and my father trained national championship hunting dogs for over a decade. We bred and trained dogs along with other full breeds.. Have trained dog's for the most part. I believe our pets are a part of the family and should be treated as so. With love, kindness and compassion. Thanks for the opportunity,

I am originally from Connecticut so I am a New Englander at heart. Moved to FL back in 2012 and just love it down here. My boyfriend and I love to travel and explore new places. We are very outdoorsy and love to load up our basset hound and go camping or just take a day trip off-roading in the woods somewhere.
