Top Dog

What experience do you have in this industry?

I am officially an animal lover I grew up on acreage in the hinterland on the gold coast and over my short years I have had horses, chickens, birds, fish, Guinea pigs, cows, cats, the odd goat and always lots of dogs and that is just the pets not to mention the numerous wild animals that lived at our doorstep. I have been extensively coached in the pet industry as well as I read a lot of books and keep up to date with anything going on in the industry. I am currently perusing further Animal Behaviour studies.

What is your favourite type of dog?

I have to say Beagle (or Boston will get upset) but I love Boxers, Great Danes, Golden Retrievers small cuddly puppies and basically any dog with a big personality.

What pets do you have?

Currently Boston Beagle and I also share my dad’s dog Tyson the Boxer - he’s old and lovely. That’s all the pets I have currently. My husband says the fact that I get to look after everyone else’s dogs during the day is enough for now - particularly as I will pat him in my sleep some times when I think his arm is a puppy of some sort.

Favourite part of working at Paddington Pups?

Puppy Cuddle time when all the dogs get to snuggle with us at their level. I love the beautiful nature all the dogs have and how they make me smile. I also love seeing when the puppies go home of a night time they are all tired and sleepy and eagerly waiting to shake hands and get a parting treat.
