I am 44 yrs, and a total animal lover, have had animals my entire life, raised with animals has made me a better person, me and my mom have both enjoyed Breeding the Yorkies for about 4 years, I use to breed Min Pins for 8 years but they are a very energetic breed, I still have my first min pin Krista she will be 18 years in May of 08 and still going strong, when I was a child my mother owned and bred Pomeranians and I enjoyed helping her with the births and the pottie training, my first dog was a Pomeranian named Boyboy, well his registered name was Winnie the Pooh.
My mom bought me my first horse when I was 13 yrs old the horse Chica was only 3 we worked and trained each other, I showed her and just loved her so much. I owned her till she was 29 yrs almost 30 and due to her age had to be put down, I owned her daughter and son til her daughter died of old age, and I gave her son to a friend whos daughters where showing and he was perfect for them, he is now 16yrs and the girls are still enjoying him and showing him now.
I now own 4 draft horses, a Belgian which really belongs to my daughter but due to expences I have him here to pay for his costs so she will be able to have him his entire life, I bought him for her when she was 16yrs and he was only 9 months my daughter is now 27yrs and is raising our first granddaughter.
I am married, Ron use to be into the animals or at least was in the begging, he came with 2 kids, and lived in a condo where I had the ranch and the animals we didn't have children together but I enjoyed helping raise the kids and still do, Chris my daughter is a animal lover too, but busy with work and raising the most wonderful girl ever, my first grand daughter, my son is expecting a baby too.
Ron dosn't do much with the animals and is always telling me to sell them, but I never will, they are my true love.
