From foster mom:
 I get tons!! of compliments on how beautiful Keetah is and have even had
 several people ask me if I know the breeder, so I might be able to pass some
 leads her way if I had a website to send them to. Keetah is a GREAT dog. She is so happy, joyful and smart. She is learning  fast and has many of the service requirements down...except for some loose leash
stuff! In only two lessons she was able to "nudge" up high so she'll be
 able to open doors by pushing a handicap button. She was the first to race to her
"mat" and lay down in the last two beginner classes. She stays, waits, sits, stands,
> lays, and watches on command (usually:-)) My 8-year-old daughter loves to
lay out food on the floor and make her "walk the gauntlet" so Keetah is really
starting to learn "leave it" since she gets plenty of treats and love from Elena when she is successful.

 And she loves, loves kids! And they love her. Rush City is a small town and
 nearly every kid at school knows who Keetah is. She has been to elementary
 school plays and events, high school basketball, volleyball, football and
 social events. She has been "showed and told" about in nearly every grade. I
 get asked all the time about how she is doing and where she is if she is not
 with me. The town seems to have gotten behing the whole "service dog"
program with Keetah as the "service dog" mascot.  She has alot of lab in her in terms of retrieving

(now if she would do it on cue instead of her "puppy finds whatever is on the floor" retrieving
 method.) She loves the water. We go to our school track (the only place in Rush City
 that is totally fenced in for her "off-leash" romps) every day. It's rained
 enough where the pole vault pit has water in it which she discovered and
 now is a regular play spot for her. We live by a creek and not too far from the St.
 Croix River, both of which she loves to swim in as well. Some hunter would
 have had a great hunting dog! I am already dreading when we will have to let Keetah advance to her next
 level of training. I keep reminding the kids (and myself) of what a wonderful service
 dog she will make and that's why we are volunteering. We love Keetah!

 Hope the breeder enjoys the photos. She provided the Hearing and Service
 Dogs of Minnesota with a real winner.
 
 

Hi Sherry! Here's some info about Kashi. Sounds like they love her.

 She is VERY sweet, loves to play, loves people (especially kids) and seems
 quite smart. We took her camping last weekend, and her favorite game was
 jumping in and out of the camper (playing with a toy). She looked like a
 dock-jumping dog coming out. We didn't let her do it TOO many times, but
 she loved it while it lasted.
