W00t! I've been meaning to join this amazing group of bully breed enthusiasts for a while and I kept getting distracted. My name is Celeste and I live in the Neighborhood of the Arts in Rochester,NY. I share a loft that I adore with my boyfriend whom I adore. We have three cats: The "Earl" of Cats [rescued off the street by my sister], Huckleberry "Finn" [farm kitten], and Goofy "Jack" the most persistant and determined cat in the whole world! Along with the kitties that rule our loft, we have two dogs. Bean is our 2.5 year old Newfoundland and resident blockhead. He is my benevolent warrior. Alex, my boyfriend, and I raise puppies for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. Nanook is our 6th puppy and he is a five month old German Shepherd who seems to be a superb candidate for guide work.
The bullies....I LOVE them! On paper, these amazing dogs are not the perfect match for our lifestyle, but I can't withhold my infatuation with the APBT, Am Staff, Bull Terrier, and, especially, Staffordshire Bull Terriers. I hope to share my life with a pit bull or Staffy someday, but the timing has not been quite right as I have felt compelled to continue raising puppies for Guiding Eyes.
I once had the pleasure of meeting Wallace the Pit Bull as he lives in my hometown of Rochester,MN. That's one stellar relationship between a Man and his dog!
Oh yeah...I almost forgot to tell you all that I teach group obedience classes for See Spot Think, LLC, offer private dog training, and work for Natural Pet Foods Company on Alexander Street. I'm sure many of you have already met me at the store if you're from Rochester,NY.
