My Story:

ive been working with animals since i was 14, i enjoy parts of my job, i enjoy showing a friends Bloodhound, and my foxhounds even tho they are only lightly shown. and i mean that one or two shows a year if we are lucky.
i take part in training classes of agility, obedence, and scent work, ive only lived with a multi dog household for a short time(5 years) but would never go back to having just one dog, i enjoy watching the pack play and interact together.
i dont like these quick fix answer programmes that are around on tv at the moment, the idea would be nice to be able to fix something that complex that quick, but years of exerpence have showed me that it clearly doesn work like that.
i also run foxhound breed rescue. and also work along side the kennel club for promotion days, such as Discover dogs at earls court. we love showing what our breed can really do, and proven people wrong about the breed.. THAT FOXHOUNDS CAN BE GREAT PETS WITH TIME AND PLENTY OF HOME WORK BEFORE HAND.
