In Appreciation: I wish to acknowledge and give thanks to the following people, without whose endeavours, support, advice and friendship I would not have the foundation members of my home breeding program Sunny, Satie, Tess, and (a boy named) Cassie.   

Linda Spurlin for her inspiration and devotion in producing our beloved “companion” Nordic dog developed from the Alaskan Husky, The Alaskan Klee Kai.  

Thank you Linda.

Carroll Parkison for being the person to have faith in me to be the life long care giver to my first AKK, Sunny (Waco’s Sakrinatok V Tatiana), followed by Satie, Sunny’s first female puppy who came back to me on Carroll’s untimely passing. You were an inspiration to many of us new breeders Carroll, always there for us when we needed advice or just a chat. It was a privelidge to have had you as a friend and AKK mentor.

Thank you Carroll.

Diana Hamster for your friendship, kindness, and advice. For the services of Wyatt ('PR' Wild West's Wyatt Earp) Sunny’s first breeding partner, (father of Satie), and also as co-owner for bringing Cassie ('PR' Dragonsweyr Cassiopeia Aurora), into my life as his life long care-giver.  

Thank you Diana

Angela Hargest for your friendship, advise, and generousity in contributing to my home breeding program by offering me co-ownership of your champion female Tess (HELDERBERG TASSIORPOK VIA WACO), and allowing me to be her lifelong care-giver.

Thank you Angela.

Ellen Distel for breeding Cassie (PR' Dragonsweyr Cassiopeia Aurora) my resident breeding male.  

Thank you Ellen.

Deborah Bonter for introducing me to the wonderful world of the  “Alaskan Klee Kai”.

There are others of you in the Alaskan Klee Kai world who have given me your support, friendship, and benefit of your knowledge; to all of you, I give you my deepest appreciation and thanks.
