Sighthounds and working breeds are absolutely tied for my favorites! I also love whippets, Dobermans, tollers, and Staffies.

When I am not training pups, I enjoy going bouldering with my friends, cooking up a new recipe I found online, going to Cubs games, and having solo karaoke time in my living room.
