Hello,
My name is Erin and my spouse actually recommended this forum to me as I'm obsessed with animal forums and more importantly because of the fact that I have three dogs!
I'm 19 years old (young you may all think to own 3 dogs, but I live on my own in the country with an acre fenced lot for our dogs to run on)! So enough about me, let me introduce the real stars....
First and the oldest is Bailey my 1 year and 2mth old shih tzu. Bailey loves long walks, eating her own feces (oh yes, I know...it get's better -.- ) barking at strange people, barking at me and my spouse, barking at strange dogs ...AND LAST but not least...BARKING just to hear her own voice

! I would consider her to be very anti-social as she's a more lap dog then playful with any other dogs.
Second is our 2nd oldest, Keira the chocolate lab / springer spaniel. She will be 10 months at the end of February. Keira is very energetic and loves long walks, water, birds, squirrels, giving kisses, other people...giving kisses to other people...eating her own feces (told you it get's better!!).
Third is the newest addition to our family actually. She is a 4 month old German Shepherd AND the main reason why I really want to be on the site (you'll find out in other posts that I begin to mention)...
Sorry, I added that too quickly (was not completed)
as I was saying...Nova is our new German Shepherd. She is about 35 - 40 lbs and she loves....barking, eating, walks along the trails and hiding ;o
We love all three of our dogs and we do experience many problems with them however so here's to hoping you can all give me some great advice!!
