I grew up in a house with dogs. We always had dogs. We always had a bunch of dogs, actually.

I have German Shepherds that I train and have brought back to Germany. I love going there.

I've grown up with dogs and love dogs.

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.

I grew up with a menagerie of dogs, cats, gerbils - not to mention three younger siblings.

I've always been a dog owner, from the time I was a little boy in Chicago.

I'm never without my dog. They would be in every corner of the house, and my wife will not allow me to have any more than that. But I have lots of dogs. I love the dogs. I breed them. I always have a puppy coming. And I show dogs. I show German shepherds.

Before I was born, my mom and my dad, they used to rescue dogs, so at one point, they had 13 dogs. And they were all from different litters. It wasn't like they were bred. They were all from different people. And they were all different ages. When I grew up at my dad's house, I think we had seven at one point.
