I've grown up with dogs - both pedigree and rescue. I currently have two dogs - a 14 year old Labradoodle called Tess and a 3 year old working Golden Retriever called Lily. We live in North Essex with a big garden so plenty of room for them to play. They're both happy social dogs and used to visitors, elderly, children and other dogs. We have cows and sheep in our back fields so they are comfortable with livestock too.
