FIN Ch OKAMI'S FABULOUSLY FAITHFUL
"Kuma"
born 10.10.1998
pedigree
breeder Helena Skoglundh, Sweden
owner Vesa Hämäläinen, Mäntsälä

Kuma came from Sweden to us when he was 8 weeks old.
Kuma has always been very brave and energy pal.
When I picked him up from Sweden it was terrible
snowstrom. I wasn't even sure that the breeder can come
to the harbour with Kuma and I was really anxious.
Even our ship came late to the harbour. I was so happy
when I notice them in there, Kuma was so cute:-)
He didn't mind the strom at all. He just walked on his
own to the ship even that he hadn't been on the ship ever.
Our hole ship trip went so well, he didn't cry at all,
mayby he just thought that."well, here we go to the new home with my new family."
He just play in cabin or slept on the floor.

Kuma has always try a bit his limit and he is quite
stuborn on that. He always let you know when he
doesn't like something like when you try to clean
his pawns and in these days if you'll take him to
the show, he will let you and the judge know that
he doean't like that at all.
But if you'll compare him to Keiko, he definatilly
has more will to desire and he is more curious
than Keiko. Kuma want to be part of all what you
are doing.
Kuma is calm and peaceful inside but at outside
he has more speed than you can imagine!
He likes only his own pack, he doesn't like other
dogs at all. We have tried to socially him but our
efford hasn't help even he has been with us where
ever we went. Good side of this is that Kuma doesn't
growl or bark other dogs, he just wait if they would
come too close...

Right now Kuma is five and half years old.
He has two daughters and one son.
I was planing to mate Keiko to Kuma but my plans
changed. Maybe they are too familiar to each other
and it didn't work or then the problem is somewhere
else, who knows...
Kuma is quite big male, he is 70 cm hight and
weight about 48-54 kg. He will need more mass
since he is so height which make him look too
light. He has excellent bones.
By his nature he is friendly to people, open
and he deffinatilly knows his prize.

Here are Kuma's offspring; Rico, Sani and Inka.
They were born 24 th of November in 2001.
Inka has made grand father of Kuma, she got
7 puppies last November, all were girls:-)
I have been very pleased of Kuma's offspring.
