Troldeskov's Kermes Khan (Kermes)
When this litter was born we weren't on the lookout for a puppy, as we had enough dogs, but as usual we visited to take photos of the litter from they were three days old. Kermes chose me, from he was able to walk he followed my every move, which was a bit problematic at times. We decided to stop our visits from he was 8 weeks old till he was four months old, but that was important for Kermes. It didn't help, he had formed a very close bond to me, and when Kermes came to stay here at 4 months old, very food aggresive, old Harley and I decided that we would straigthen him out, he lost hispuppy licens on the first day with Harley (He loved puppies, but didn't want to get bitten twice in one day, lwt alone the first hour by the little red bully ;0) Today he's the most wonderful red boy, always smiling and sending puppy eyes (he thinks it will result in treats everytime ;0) He is very smart, but also a great actor, it's taken some time to see through some of his acts! He's really good at rally obedience, which I turned to after not being able to do the lengthy program of the obedience. Rally obedience takes a maximum of 3 minutes and is a lot more versatile and therefor more exiting for both the dog and handler!!!
Kermes is the father of a litter of 4 puppies with Susie. They were a combination of both, but Kermes' huge coat was passed along, giving a lot of coatwork, especially as puppies and when shedding ;0) Normally I brush him every three weeks, I like the long coat the best and Kermes is a combination of both the long but also very dense coat (which have a tendency to make huge knots along the skin during shedding, and if you're not paying attention, will risk having to shave some of the coat off)
I've combed out several, but it takes hours, and isn't fun for neither dog nor me!!!
Kermes has later become the father of three wonderful puppies with Sesse, all with a huge coat and very beautiful.
