It always fascinates me to see my customers bringing their pets into the store and I wonder what it is about their breed of dog that they love so much. I, myself, love dogs in the hound group and couldn't imagine not having one, two, or three around. So what does your pet say about you?

We each have our own unique personality that reflects who we are and how we view life. So, because we choose a certain breed, is it a reflection of our personality. Some say "yes". Check out what your dog says about you!
