About Ember
Ember is a lovely female who is my first bred-by to complete her championship in all three major registries(ADBA/UKC/AADRI) with ease.

She is structurally sound with great health testing results and also has a lovely temperament. She has a very high prey drive and lives to hunt critters.

Kovu is a small boy, but what he lacks in size he makes up for in heart. He is titled in various different sports ranging from obedience to weight pull, and always gives everything his all. He is an ADBA, UKC, and AADRI champion. Even at almost 9 years of age he is still very high drive and high energy and isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. He has a perfect temperament and absolutely loves everybody he meets instantly.
