FINDING MI PERFECT DOG IN ANIMAL PLANET

Sussex Spaniel 

The Sussex Spaniel is an extremely rare bird…er, bird dog, that is. They're pretty chill as far as spaniels go, which makes them fair urban canine companions. But the Sussex has never forgotten her time out in the field, flushing birds and roaming with her people. These dogs aren't fast, but they're powerfully built and maneuverable while they're hunting. Their mellow affability make them good candidates for therapy work as well.

These are distinctive looking dogs, with frowny-looking faces that belie their generally cheerful demeanors. Though they're not large, their build is often described as “massive” — Sussex Spaniels have a heavy bone structure and a deep chest. This is a dog built to move and keep on moving.

Originally from England, this medium-sized and medium-energy breed can grow to between 35-45 pounds and lives an average of 13-15 years. The breed is recognized by the American Kennel Club and classified as a member of the Sporting group.

In spanish:

El Sussex spaniel es un pájaro extremadamente raro… er, perro pájaro, es decir. Son bastante fríos en lo que respecta a los españoles, lo que los hace compañeros caninos urbanos justos. Pero el Sussex nunca ha olvidado su tiempo en el campo, tirando aves y vagando con su gente. Estos perros no son rápidos, pero son poderosamente construidos y maniobrables mientras están cazando. Su afabilidad suave los hace buenos candidatos para el trabajo de la terapia también.

Estos son perros de aspecto distintivo, con rostros fruncido-que desmienten sus comportamientos generalmente alegres. Aunque no son grandes, su estructura se describe a menudo como "masiva" - los spaniels de Sussex tienen una estructura o sea pesada y un pecho profundo. Este es un perro construido para moverse y seguir moviéndose.

Originaria de Inglaterra, esta raza de tamaño medio y medio-energía puede crecer a entre 35-45 libras y vive un promedio de 13-15 años. La raza es reconocida por el American Kennel Club y clasificada como miembro del grupo Sporting.

My Profession

I don't remember having a dream job when a girl, but had many carrear in mind before of decide study veterinary medicine, for example: psicology, tourism, geology, math engineering, etc. sincerely I was very disorient about  my vocation, the first university carreer I ever went to was Electrical Engineering, being there made me realize what I really wanted to study in my life and so I finally decided to study veterinary medicine. I think the peace that animals convey is something unique and wonderful. 

My university experience so far has had a bit of everything, from very good things to not so pleasant ones, I have learned a lot about the biology and functioning of the organism, I’ve also been involved in animal practice on "Farm World", and this year I’m volunteering at the Minor Animal Clinic. The race is getting more and more complex and we have less time but the only thing we have left is to go ahead with a big smile to achieve our goal. I would like to work in a pleasant working environment, where there were a lot of animal contact, and it would be in a rural area, preferably in the south of Chile, for me it is very important as it is where I will spend most of my time.
