My widowed father remarried when I was four and she had a dog. That was my first dog and she always had at least one, and up to four, dogs at a time. I was 24 when I got my own dog and have had four others since him, one at a time though.
I got mine when i was 7, she was a west terrier and when i turned about 10,i got my Sheltie Snickers and 13yrs., i got another sheltie Oreo, and now im getting another sheltie named Basil
Our first dog was a Schipperke named Twizzler my sister was just born and I was 2 years old at the time being. After Twizzler we got York and Dots. One a dalmation or a Greyhound.
