Back to Petside 2010 Winter Olympic Coverage

Pets: One Greyhound-Boxer mix named Chuck. One Greyhound-Rhodesian Ridgeback mix named Suki.

Q: What kind of pets do you have?

I have 2 dogs, both rescue and both mutts/mixed breed. One is part Greyhound, part boxer named Chuck. The other is part Greyhound, part Rhodesian Ridgeback named Suki.

Q: Do they train with you?

While I'm training and traveling its hard to keep dogs because they require so much attention. At the moment they do not live with me, they live with my dad in Miami. My dad is home a lot, loves animals and has a big back yard for them to go crazy. I'm hoping to be able to take them back after the season. They are my kids and I miss them so much.

Q: Where did you get your pets?

I believe very strongly in animal rights. I also have 2 rescue cats and my dad has like 7 rescue cats and a rescue dog. I've always been around animals and every one has been rescued.
