Meet Kajsa (Pronounced: kä-zhä)
AKC & UKC Reg. Female Black & Tan German Shepherd, DOB: 09/01/05
Kajsa just started her training in Sheep Herding (March 2008) and we are
now just training as a fun activity instead of training for a herding event.
We had planned to breed her once she earned herself a herding title, however
when we took her for her OFA x-rays, we found she has an extremely mis-shapen
pelvis and hip. It is not clear wether this condition is genetic or was
caused at birth - so she will be spayed instead. We may eventually get
another Shepherd from a very reputable breeder, but it won't be for at
least another year or more.

Now meet Kita.
Kita is spayed Akita/Rotti mix, she's 12yrs old and is "The Boss"
(She's an Alpha).
What's for Dinner?
For the last 3 ½ years, our dogs have been fed a Biologically Appropriate
Raw Food Diet (BARF). Basically, they eat all types of Raw Meat, Raw Meaty
Bones, Organs, and as much whole prey that I can afford. Since switching
from kibble, I have noticed a great improvement in the overall health of
ALL our dogs...
Kita was switched to the raw diet at the ripe age of 9yrs. Her age was
really catching up with her and it was obvious her time with us was very
limited. Upon switching to the raw diet, she went from an overweight 105-110
pounds to a healthy, muscular 85 pounds. She no longer licks & chews
at the bottom of her feet and her coat is now healthy and shiny with no
more flakes or dry, itchy skin. She also no longer has "dog"
breath and has beautiful, clean, WHITE teeth. Her cronic ear infections
have also stopped. I strongly feel that by switching her diet is the sole
reason she is still with us.
Kajsa on the other hand, was switched to RAW immediately when we brought
her home at 7½ weeks of age. She has developed BEAUTIFULLY! She
grew at an appropriate rate and at 5 months of age had shed all her baby
teeth and replaced them with beautiful healthy, strong, GLEAMING WHITE
teeth. She is now 2½ yrs old and we are very pleased with Kajsa's
health, temperment, and overall beauty.
