I grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania, where my parents raised German shepherds - we had about 30 dogs at any given time.

Rottweilers are victims of a stereotype. They're not that bad.

In our family, we've always been owned by border collies, or dogs of one kind or another, and have rescued many dogs. We've lived in the woods and sometimes have had as many as 70 sled dogs. Or had six or seven dogs living in the house. Dogs have saved my life on more than one occasion - and I mean that literally.

We have two dogs, Mabel and Wolf, and three cats at home, Charlie, George and Chairman. We have two cats on our farm, Tom and Little Sister, two horses, and two mini horses, Hannah and Tricky. We also have two cows, Holy and Madonna. And those are only the animals we let sleep in our bed.

My dogs are family dogs.

When you walk through a bad neighborhood, you don't want a poodle by your side. You want a Rottweiler.

I have three dogs and a cockatoo.

I've got nine kids, nine dogs, three grandkids - and one in the oven. And three parrots!
