Yuria Dobashi & Beat (schnauzer, born in 2005)

I always love dogs since I was little. During my high school days, I happened to adopt a stray dog and take care of him. It was when I decided to look forward to a career involved with dogs.

I entered to a vocational college to major in dog training & grooming. A dog provided for me to practice at school was Beat. It was how Beat and I met, and I kept him after graduation. We have been through so many things together ever since then.

I have so much more to learn, but will do my best to utilize my all experiences for your companion to be mentally well taken care of.

Hoover：

Born in 1997, male
Wirehaired terrier mix

He was one of 25 training dogs at the facility while Kaz attended Vet Tech school in Ohio, USA. Formerly
transferred from animal shelter to animal shelter, he was in danger of being euthanized for biting seven vet-tech students. Kaz devoted significant time to working with Hoover and ultimately adopted him at approximately two years of age. An enthusiastic runner and chaser of tennis balls, he is now a gentle, well-behaved dog much loved by neighbor children.

Rota：

Born in 1998, female
Great Pyrenees.

Adopted by Kaz, at approximately 4 years of age, after being abandoned by her owner at a Japanese Vet Clinic, Rota was so overweight she was unable to walk. Now a much slimmer gentle giant, wanderer sometimes, Rota is a happy, and loveable companion and great example for the dogs she comes in contact with.
