Valerie W. Pet Care Provider in Lincoln, NE 68510

I own two Chespeake Bay Retrievers. They are hunting dogs and couch potatoes and I walk and run them to keep them in shape for tough days in the field. Last year, we were doing so well in our training that we worked up to running a half-marathon together! While Chesapeake Bay Retrievers resemble a Labrador Retriever, this breed is more protective and more stubborn (to generalize them into one word). So training is very important! There is a saying that that goes something like this: You tell a lab, ask a golden and negotiate with a Chesapeake. I feel like I can say that, because we had three golden retrievers prior to our Chessies! There are also 5 cats in my family. I care for my in-laws' golden retrievers when they are out of town. And I dog and cat sit for a friend when she is out of town. One of my degrees is in Equine Studies, which included much general animal care, especially veterinary/first aid. My husband is a Lincoln police officer, so I know how important your privacy and security are. I've taken many training classes with my dogs, as well as agility and tracking classes.
