“PAKA”

Hi Diane,

Today we took a 4 hour hike up this ridge where you would least expect to find anything, but Paka came running back down with an antler. It was one from last year. I get comments time and time again on how he is the best behaved dog. Paka is almost 3 and has a great on and off button, once outside the truck its all work and eyes on me all day long. Even from a distance away he always looks up to see where I am at. The other day at work we spooked up a herd of deer and I let him watch them run away and called him back, which he came to me immediately.

2017 update on Paka

I work in the timber industry and I was looking to replace my old hound.  After talking with Diane on the phone I put down a deposit for a pup from Arrow and Hunter.  What a wonderful dog we got from that litter!  He quickly got used to working in thick brush and on very steep slopes, which is good because that’s where we find some blacktail sheds.  Paka also performs other duties that have helped us while working, such as finding a can of tree paint we dropped in the thick brush or retrieving my co-workers hard hat that fell down 100 feet on a 70% slope.  He is wonderful with children and very gentle with the elders. If I hunted bird he would have made a great bird dog, a natural pointer at the grouse. We also tried some dock diving with him and he is a natural at it.  At 63 pounds he is the perfect sized dog for us, we get commented on how well he behaves and his conformation. 

Thanks Diane for such a great dog.
