If it makes you feel better, the male was purchased from North of Edmonton, the female came from Big River Sask. Doubtful that they are related. Dew claws have a bad habit of snagging on fabric and on carpet if they become an inside dog. No cropping of ears for these guys.
Most of the year the male in female are best of friends splitting their time between hunting gophers and rolling in the dirt in the country. Puppies are attended several times a day by a wide eyed 4 year old girl who cannot get enough of them. It is anything but a commercial breeding operation.
