I have the pleasure of sharing my life with Nicol and Marly and 4 Caucasian Ovcharkas (oh, and 2 cat). You can see more about us at our family site. 

I grew up in Jamaica and moved to the USA in 1981 to study in Pittsburgh, PA. When I left Jamaica it was a balmy 96 degrees Farenheit in January and I stepped off the airplane in Pittsburgh into what felt like 96 Below ZERO, but in reality it was about 10 below with the wind chill.. gosh it was cold.

In addition for my passion for large dogs, I am also very much into computers and Internet. I purchased my first computer in 1985 (oh my) and have been trying to keep up with the technologies ever since. I build static and dynamic html pages and now I am trying to get the best of php and mysql for CMS development.. I love diving and biking. but have not done either in a little while. I am now returning to my love of photography and graphics editing - so I think I am at the bottom of the uphil climb to master photoshop.

When we lived in Italy from 1998 - 2000 we were fortunate enough to rent a beautiful home located in an olive grove on about 10 acres. The home we rented was burgurlarized 4 times prior to us moving in so I decided right away to re-live my childhood passion and get a guard dog. During the process - (through my poor Italian language skills) I eliminated the GSD, Neo, Rottie, Maremma and Dobie - why? I told the owner of the Doghouse to find me the best guradian. I was advised to come back 2 weeks later and he would have a puppy for me.  Two weeks later I was introduced to Vertesljai-Favorit Arnold (Caesar). See our dogs.

Morale of that story is that we live in the same house for 2 years and were never burgularized. Actually - People stayed clear of our home - I later asked Rafaelle (Doghouse owner and Neo breeder) who became a good friend, if he knew why we were not bothered by the gypsies and vagrants who plagued that part of Italy - he said "Il Pastore del Kaukaso with a smile.

Our youngest dog is Shagi Akmenu Gele - a wonderful female Caucasian. She has been to a few shows and even won BIS puppy at age 5 months. We have two cats---- grrhhhh --- a Chinchila Persian and a Norwegian Forrest Cat.

What music do I like? What is my favorite car? What is my favorite color? What is my favorite food? What is my favorite place? and much more.. coming soon. .. This profile is a work in progress - so stay tuned for more.
