From Carine who has a Shane from Chinook and Drago’s 2011 litter, raised for Carine by our daughter Hannah until Shane turned five months old.

Dear Hannah,

It only took us several hours to take note of Shane’s superb temperament and training. Her name recall is fantastic. Her sit, down and walking on a leash are terrific. She bonded immediately with us and follows me everywhere. There is absolutely no need of an umbilical lead for her. Her interaction with Colter is “impressive” to watch. Her puppy playfulness is greeted with exuberance and enthusiasm from Colter leading to lively spirited play sessions, never a growl nor snarl to be heard from either of them. After play and exercise sessions she calms down very nicely in the house.At the Vet appointment she was composed and emanated a sense of confidence that only good breeding and training can provide. Her behavior towards other people and dogs has been marvelous, never a hint of fear or aggression. I love that she has a well-established ball/stick drive and loves to play with her new toys. We will surely spoil her in the months to come. In matter of only a few days she has become a cherished family member. It was only because of your hard work that this integration worked so well and my husband and I thank you.
