Hazel was born approximately 1/1/2002. April Shultz was the original owner, and Robert and I took her because she was not getting along with other dogs at Rick and Julie's home.

Hazel passed away 11/4/2019, put to sleep at Afford-a-Vet. She had not been eating, barely drinking, distressed breathing, confused.

Max was born approximately 10/1/2007. He passed away 6/24/2019. He apparently had the disease DM, which causes the sheaths of nerves to breakdown. The usual symptom is wobbly/paralyzed back legs.

To dispose of Max's body (6/25/2019), I contacted:

They charged $140, $50 for disposal plus $90 for transportation.

Purchased the pair for $1300 on 11/29/2019 from Craigslist Ukrainian man, 253-208-7816. Address 3108 38th Ave. NW, Gig Harbor 98335.

He said they were born July 22, 2019. So they are a bit over four months old. They were very skinny. Fed them quite a bit when I got them home.

The Mom was very nice. Dad not present, owned by breeder's distant relative.
