Descrição
We live in a beautiful lush area of Waikato, New Zealand, close to a quaint town of Cambridge. We live on a lifestyle block in the country and have a Maltese dog stud. We are a family of 2 my husband, myself with my disabled daughter coming over twice a week. We have 7 little Maltese dogs and they all live in the house with us! I currently show some of my dogs.
Please note,a large part of the jobs you will be asked to do is grooming (brushing) the dogs if this is not something you would enjoy and are prepared to do each of your working days this might not be the right experience for you. I am happy to teach you what to do. Taking the dogs for a walk or playing with puppies and or course cleaning up after them gardening and other jobs around the place will make up most of your working time.
