I like hunting deer. I donate to and volunteer with animal welfare organizations. I want to get into running marathons. I've never run a half-marathon. I am interested in finding a trainer to help me train for marathons. I don't know anything about Alsatians as a dog breed. I've been running everyday. I'm trying to get in shape. I'm working on a diet.
I am immigrant from Scotland.  I have hunted. I foster some hunting dogs. They are Alsatians and are doing great. I like to run half marathons. I don't keep records of my runs, so I am not sure when I last ran a half-marathon. I've run a bunch of half-marathons. I feel that my house is safer because of my dogs. I take my dogs hunting and they track for me. I have a German Shepherd.
I bet Scotland is beautiful this time of year.  I am biased, but it's beautiful every time of year! Have you ever been to Scotland? Never, but I would like to one day.  It's currently hunting season where I'm at so I'll be staying put for now. That's a good point, maybe in your off-season you can go exploring! Have you done much traveling before? Not really.  I'm a homebody since I like the area I grew up in.  How old were you when you immigrated from Scotland? I moved after I finished school. I was very restless and there were not very man job opportunities at the time. I do miss it a lot, and I hope to move back there one time. It's a much simpler way of life over there. Yeah things can get pretty chaotic here, that's why I go hunting, it's actually a very calming hobby.  Did you hunt back in Scotland, or is that something you picked up after you immigrated? Oh, I grew up doing that as a child! There's nothing else to do living in rural Scotland! I think you would love hunting there on the rugged terrain, I am sure it is quite different than what you are used to. Man, you make me want to travel to Scotland right now!  That sounds like an awesome place to go hunting.  How does your Alsatian dogs help you during your hunt?  I know nothing about them. They have amazing instincts and are very good at tracking prey! Do you have any pets yourself? No I don't, but I would like to get a dog as a companion during my hunts.  Does your German Shepherd go on your hunts as well? Yes, of course! I don't know if I could hunt without my dogs, if you get one it will be a game-changer.
