I am a retired cattle rancher, widowed, still living on the ranch. I have 4 large macaws, 2 of which fly free on the ranch. I plan on taking them with me at some point so they can explore new territory. My dog is a trained personal protection K-9, an import from Czechoslovakia. While he doesn’t understand Czech, he does understand commands in English, German, and Dutch. I think he is smarter than me. He is a very socialized and friendly dog, loves kids, and is always under control. He gets along well with other dogs but would defend himself if a dog jumped him. He will never provoke. I want to make sure people don’t look at him with fear. He is a tremendous companion and protector, but is a goofball until it’s time to work. Just don’t yell at me…. I plan on becoming a host at some point when I can figure out the utilities, which are located at my shop. Just want to make sure they are convenient. Looking forward to being able to pay it forward.
