Who would have thought that such a strange looking dog could change my life?! When I was looking for a third dog, I wanted
something smaller, but still tough enough to play with a big dog. It was a fluke that I became interested in a herding breed,
because I’ve always had sporting dogs in the past.
Kane came into the house and in an instant, his sweet puppy personality won over Graycie and Nick. He always has a great
smile, and he’s affectionately known as Senor Sassy Pants because he always has an opinion to share! We started training in
agility, but because Kane is injury-prone, we switched from agility to other dog sports and activities. In the meantime,
Kane became a Delta certified therapy dog, and he has earned his CD and RN in obedience, and early in 2005, he earned his
conformation championship. His latest success has been to finish his CDX with placements, and earning 1st place in Open A
at the 2006 Cardigan Specialty! At six years old, Kane is “semi-retired” and we show in Open B obedience every now and again
for fun. With his conformation championship, two obedience titles, and three rally titles, he’s certainly done plenty of work
in his short life.
Most days, Kane can be found laying in his swimming pool soaking up the sun, or patrolling the back yard to keep our family
safe from the neighborhood squirrels! If he’s not doing important work, he’s sound asleep on the sofa, all four feet up in the air.
I’ve learned so much from Kane, first and foremost that Cardigans are a special breed. This sable dog is the light of my life,
and the foundation for my love of Cardigans.
