My family was very fortunate ,to find Mike approximately 15 years ago while searching for our shepard. He takes care of his dogs so well, that you can expect many years of devoted love and friendship. My buddy Tiki lived to be a little over 14 years with just some minor ear infections, and no major health issues. This is testament on how well he cares for his dogs. When my family is able to get over our grief, we will return to vomnordostenhaus.
