Deena, Bandit's story is quite long, I will give you the highlights, if you want to know more email me privately.
Bandit was very "mouthy" as a pup, scared the kids and was very hard to train, when Beauty had her first litter, Bandit and she both went to the breeders that we had gotten them from, Beauty for the litter Bandit for training. They almost killed Beauty, and stole Bandit. We had a 5 hour stand off if you will in their yard with the police department down to one of them getting arrested. It was a horrific event. In the end they turned over my girl, but refused to let go of the boy as he was co owned. We took them to court and they kept Bandit, which was ok as I did not feel he was right for our family. They apparently showed him to championship and bred him again, this I did not understand as they told the courts he was structrually unsound and has a dysplastic line and should be neutered immediately. Regardless this is how i met Darla and our working relationship has been excellent. She is a wealth of info on the Kuvasz and a good friend. Take care! Shana
ps Sapphire looks very much like her mother!
