I second this. She was on my list and I wished I bought from her.

A freind of my sisters has one of her dogs and they are very pleased with him.

I have driven 11 hours, 29 hours, and 8 hours a few times for puppies. Some people don't have that option.

Part of the problem is that there are less breeders in Canada than there are in the US and our population is more spread out with the majority near city centres around the borders.

When I asked for recommendations about 2 years ago, the closest working line breeder I was considering was at least 12 hour drive away (over 500 miles) since there wasn't much of a proven breeder I could look into when there were only 2 SchH clubs registered with the GSSCC in Alberta. One breeder that is 3.5 hours away had just sold their litter when I contacted them and their dam was being retired! I also looked at the kennel names of the handlers dogs from GSSCC results and noticed a lot of competitors had dogs from kennels outside of Alberta.

I weighed the alternative of driving 24h to and from the Washington/Oregon states to choose a breeder or have one shipped and felt that a plane ride would be easier on the puppy than a car ride during the summer.

When I picked up our 2 pups a few years back I drove 25 hours away to get them. It also gave us a litlle time away from home also which was nice and gave us the chance to meet a male that I have always heard a lot about ( Congo Vikar ).
