I have always had dogs, pure bred and mixtures, bought as puppies and taken in as rescues. I have had Dalmatians, Rottweilers, Akitas, Jack Russels, Terriers, Labrador mixes.
Now I am older I have time to keep more dogs and currently live with 8 Dobermans ( 4 older rescues and 4 I have had from puppies), a Podenco rescue Spanish hunting dog, a 16 year old miniature Jack Russell and a Patterjack. When I was younger I bred Dalmatians and have more recently found a love for Dobermans.
Dobermans are great companions and I love to spend lots of time outdoors with them. I have 1 1/2 acres for us all to potter about - just wish we had long days all year round!
