Background

I have been asked so many questions, that I thought that I would just answer them all here.

Bear with me, this might get a bit long :)

On saturday we drove 2 hours north of Edmonton to visit a breeder. I must say, I was not overly impressed. Besides the mess that was out at her place (which some would say is just spring mess), I didn't appriciate the fact that she didn't even recall what breed of dog we were looking for. This after multiple emails. Then she said that she would not do a waiting list for a puppy, but I would have to just keep emailing and if she had one when I contacted her then I might get one.

I understand that she could have a small litter and that she might not have one for me, but to not give me a place (like, I get the third puppy or something) really does not impress me. All in all it was a long drive home.

Once I got home I decided to email some other breeders in AB and one in BC. Suprise suprise, I got an email from a breeder that had just had a litter of 8 the day before. Now this means the puppies would be available almost at the same time that I move into my new house. I bit tight but I'll do almost anything for a Kees. The big problem is the distance, its a 9 hour drive to her town with no close airport for transport. oh well, I'll figure that out later.

I have been reading and talking with other Keeshond owners on a forum called The Keeshond Express. Well, on this forum is a breeder from down under(see her new litter here) . After hearing my story, she kindly offered to give me her opinion on the breeders. Oh, did I forget to mention that she use to live in Calgary :) Well, her opinion matched my own.

And the rest, as they say, is history.
