It’s hard to believe the pups are all gone, but seeing Kuma off to his forever home is just the best. He’s such a sweet boy and we're going to miss him at the ranch!

A huge thank you to Megan Sample for taking over the driving duties from here to get him home safe and sound.

Running our ranch (EMR) is our life, but these dogs are our passion.

No short cuts, just total devotion to the breed and the people who need them
