I have two!

Kai (turning 4 in July) came from Satelier in Hedley, BC. He's a horrible, horrible breeder. My mom chose him as a breeder and put her foot down so I didn't have any say. He didn't test for anything, he told us NOT to neuter Kai, the pups never stepped foot into his house (they had their own little guest house but it was cold and extremely dirty), and he's just a plain psycho. He also sold Kai as a purebred with a "contract" but never sent us the papers he promised. I'm in the middle of filing a complaint with the CKC. He's a B.I.S. judge so I'm hoping he won't be a member in good standing after this.

Kaedyn came from the shelter. We think he's 7 years old or so but we're just basing it on what they (the shelter) estimated. His owners had let him wander the neighborhood. The pound tried to catch him numerous times but he always managed to get away. One day, he was cornered in a neighbor's backyard and was kept there until the shelter picked him up. The owners were contacted and he was even given two free rides home (each licensed dog gets one free ride home), but they never answered the door and never picked him up even though they said they would. He was SO underweight. It was disgusting. His coat was dull, matted and filthy. He was really hand-shy. He still has fear-aggression issues we're working on, three years later. I don't know anything about his past but I think it'd be a pretty safe guess to say that he was abused and severely neglected.


I love the breed though. It'll be many, many years from now but I'd like to start breeding them some day.
