My name is Kristen, and I was born in 1982 in Asheville, North Carolina. I have an Associate's Degree in Office Technology from South College, and two Veterinary Assistant certificates from A-B Technical College. I have been studying canine nutrition for more than 5 years, and it is one of my many dog-related passions. I am also an Herbalife Independent Distributor. Did you know that there's much more to Herbalife than just weight loss?

I still live in the mountains of Western North Carolina, with my husband, and love it. I do not think I could live anywhere else but the beautiful mountains. My husband owns and operates A.R.C. Gun Services, LLC from our home. Right now, his main activity is gun sales, but he eventually wants to do reloading and gunsmithing work when he can afford the machinery to do so. He is also an MP in the Army National Guard, and loss prevention manager at K-mart.

I am the proud owner of a pitbull/chow cross named Gypsy and a German shepherd named Jak (pronounced like Jack). Jak is in training for Schutzhund, and we both enjoy it very much. If you're interested, you may view his pedigree at http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/453592.html. He comes from Czech and West German working bloodlines. Gypsy is the family house dog. I also have a gray tabby cat named Rascal, and a black cat named Spook.

Saying "dog food is dog food" would be like saying "McDonalds food or TV dinners are equivalent to a meal at an expensive restaurant". However, saying that "the most expensive brand is the best just be...
