Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
My expertise in canine breeds and behavior stems from a solid foundation in animal science and extensive practical experience. I hold an undergraduate degree in Animal Science, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of animal physiology, genetics, and behavior. This academic background equips me with the knowledge necessary to analyze and interpret breed-specific traits and behaviors.

For three years, I worked in a busy veterinary hospital, where I gained invaluable hands-on experience with a wide variety of dog breeds. This role allowed me to observe firsthand the unique physical and behavioral characteristics of different breeds, as well as their individual temperaments and health needs.
