 Jenna Schmutzer

Jenna loves all animals big and small. Growing up she had dogs, cats, hamsters, rats along with some cockateils which her family bred. Dogs were always a big part of everyday life when she lived in Minnesota. Lots of lakes and big game hunting bring equal amounts of labs, springer spaniels and hounds to the northern part of the state where she grew up. This makes her a natural dog lover. She now lives in Castle Rock, CO with a couple Rottweilers, lizards (a savanna monitor and prarie skink) and breeding snails and spoted pleco's.

Kaileigh Shwardzwald

Kaileigh has spent her whole life with dogs. She grew up next to Jenna in northern Minnesota on a lakeshore where she fell in love with aquatic turtles. She now owns four different species of turtles (which surprisingly have as much dramatic differences between breeds of dogs) and one handicapped turle named Nubs. She moved to Montana and helped to build house foundations with a pack of four Aussie-Shepherd mixes and two cats who were convinced they were dogs as well. She now has a couple Rottweillers who are really sweet dogs.
