| Kayla is my second Canaan
Dog - I also own Jake, soon-to-be 4 years old.
In Puppy Class Level 1, Kayla spent most of the sessions hiding under
a chair, refusing to interact with any of the puppies. She is now happiest
at the off-leash park, running around the field, into the forested area,
swimming in the pond, chasing other dogs - but always keeping Jake in sight.
She is very protective of her friend...one recent week-end, there were
two big boxers in the park. Jake really wanted to play with one of them,
which didn't sit too well with his brother. Some snarling and serious growling
ensued, with Jake in between the two boxers. Kayla, not too happy with
this turn of events, tried to get in between the three dogs to set the
rules - "no rough play boys" she barked!
Kayla was shown at the ICDCA Specialty this year, where she won Reserve
Best Female in two of three U.K.C. shows entered that week-end. She also
got a chance to meet her dad and her grandmother! (See above; that's Kayla
and Genny on the right, her father Amitz in the center, and grandmother
Holit on the left) |
