Definitely a deal breaker if my SO, didn't love animals. But it is not only loving them, but as I spend a great deal of my free time with my dogs, training, walking, competing, he needs to accept that this the way I spend the bulk of my free time.

He enjoys some aspects of "doggy" life more than others, particularly showing off a well trained dog..lol. But he doesn't have the patience to train them himself, although he doesn't sabotage their training, and has come with me enough to learn the importance of consistency of commands and correction.

He knows and accepts that 99% of the time our vacation time will include our animals, and that precludes many different vacation opportunities.

He will help groom them, and at times will take them to the vet. He was never a small dog person, but now is totally admiring of and loving Razz man. In fact one of Razz's fav spots is ontop of Daddy's lap.
