Hi,
To those of us who are always short on time, here is who I am in a few lines: First and foremost I am an organic farmer in my early 40’s. I am also an animal lover, and have lived in Slovakia, Israel and Canada (my current home).

My education is in animal sciences and veterinary medicine which I decided not to pursue in the end. I also have a diploma in equine management.

Over the years I have cared for and worked with many animals: cats, dogs of all sizes, horses, cattle (bovine), ducks, chickens, fish, sheep, and Larry the lama. I love animal behaviour and interact with animals through positive reinforcement, treats, play and affection.

In my life so far I’ve traveled to several continents, both with a partner and on my own, and am very comfortable being alone in various environments. I can drive most vehicles including operating a tractor if required.
My preference is to be in nature (i.e more rural), but, having grown up in a city, I can certainly appreciate and enjoy city life, restaurants, culture and architecture. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That’s the synopsis; here is a little more detail:
I think I was an animal lover since before I was born.
When I was 2 years old I could remember and tell my mother exactly where I had seen a horse two weeks prior…; same with dogs. I would stop and pet each and every dog I saw. My mother used to tell me I can’t just go to every dog, but I didn’t listen. I’m still the same.
Growing up in an apartment in a city, my parents only allowed fish, so that’s what we had. At least until my older brother traded some fish for a few lab mice with a classmate of his; and brought them home, without my parent’s knowledge or consent. There are stories to tell about the mice, one includes a piano…
In third grade I became friends with Sharon, who had cats. At the time awareness for spaying and neutering was almost non-existent, and so the cats multiplied. I spent many of my after school hours at her place and whenever I would sleep over, there would be at least 3 cats sleeping with me (more like taking over really…., not that I minded)
I finally adopted my first dog when I left home for university. He was a 5-6 months old puppy from a shelter. Bira (my dog) thought me a lot about canine behaviour and body language.
I dreamed of being a wildlife behaviour researcher; or a shepherd
