Everyone that meets this dog, first comments on how DARK he is, and I don't blame them
There WERE 2 other pups born.. they are somewhere out there in the world
How cool!!! Sounds like he was a great dog!! A wonderful combination as well ^_^ Gotta love 'em herding dogs!!

And Ash - That makes sense.. sometimes there are like, purebred dogs (like *cough*Kaedyn and Sesh) that end up in shelters.. I guess some people get a dog and can't handle it.. since a Canaan Dog is part of the herding group, like maybe someone got it and didn't realize how much work a herding dog is, or maybe it got lost and the owners never found it.. you never know..
