TabanyaRuu Unelma Kukinta at Lapinruska

To meet Kinta is to love Kinta. She regularly stops people dead on the street with her striking face and habit of making direct eye contact with strangers so they are forced to come over to see her. 

Kinta is the most dog-social dog I’ve ever known. She is never happier than surrounded by dogs. In fact, when we visit our friends, she’ll put the anchors on when it’s time to leave, hoping we can stay just a little longer amongst canine company. 

She is the perfect holiday partner, wanting nothing more from life than to be out stomping through nature with me or watching the world go by at a coffee shop. 

In her time she has turned her paw to the show ring, canicross, hoopers, scentwork, and a little bit of Rally, but she lacks the drive of a sports dog, and so is far happier when her social needs are met with regular meet-ups with other dogs.

Sadly, despite her exemplary health test results and temperament, she reabsorbed her puppies twice and I made the decision to not try again.
