It gives me great pleasure to announce the establishment of THE I. S. A. PEDIGREE KNOWLEDGE DATABASE on the website of the International Seppala Association....
Hi all, Susan and I were recently asked on Chinook-L about our decision to take our Chinook bloodlines (most of which the Chinook Owners Association worked...
This deserves reading again, Jack. Things are still falling together for me. I guess I didn't realize that your lines were excluded from COA. On what basis? ...
... Hi Britain, COA wasn't successful in excluding in all cases, but they sure tried...Gotta go to town now for feed and fuel, in case tomorrow's storm really...
... Hi Britain, For some background: When Harry and Katy Gray bought the old Perry Greene Kennel in 1986 (you can read about Harry's initial involvement in the...
Whoa, so may more parst falling together. Thanks Jack. Can't wait for part 2. I learn alot from Susan and Jack, the real Chinookniks. I think I'm beginning to...
Hi All; FYI; This excerpt is from one of my posts to another Chinook list just yesterday. I'll post a Jake x Mustang pedigree tomorrow as well. Gotta get ...
Susan and Jack, Don't blame Baby! He was only doing what came naturally and what the gal told him to do -- doggy-boys sure can't manage that trick without a...
Part II... By and large, the CCOA/COA split was amicable...the COA reorganizers were sure the breed would have been doomed by Harry's crossbreedings and his...
Yes, now I again realize that no one you speak of is walking the walk and many are speaking with forked tongue. I've heard a lot about Harry Gray and I think...
Jeffrey! Baby says he likes the way you tell how it happened better than the way I told it! :-) And what another great SK tale for the telling! Thank you! ...
Hi again All; Just a couple of forwards of my posts to another Chinook list recently - One of our Chinooks is ill, and we're hoping it isn't the big 'C'... :( ...
Oh Susan; I'm so sorry to hear about this! It is terribly depressing and discouraging to see a beloved dog with a neoplasm like that growing inexorably. I...
Me again; And I know they say never count your chickens before they hatch... But Jack agrees we should still plan to go ahead with our long awaited/scheduled...
Jeffrey, So kind of you, thank you. I've been worshipping at BooBoo-Ji's altar for a few days already myself :) And I'm so sorry Safety's page is nowhere...
Jeffrey; Yup, she's TULLIBARDINE SAFETY, I.S.A. CH00022, and she says 'thank you' for asking, btw :) And I'll see if'n I can get a current photo of her still...
Laura and Carie, I'm so sorry for your own losses...Safety girl's diagnosis and prognosis is pretty much 'the worst' as well, and so's she's not long for...
Susan, I'm so sorry to hear that it was "the worst." At least it is happening quickly. Having been through some really harrowing long drawn-out canine terminal...
... Jeffrey, This whole thing has kind of knocked me off kilter for a moment, even though Safety is taking her illness in stride. This cancer grows at a...
Cathleen (& All); Jack's reply to Jeffrey/Safety update to CSD is quoted below, with his permission. Also, when I was reading your post below, I could hear our...
Jack, Well, small wonder you'd be knocked off the rails by something like this. It's bad enough fighting the canine disorders that you know about and expect,...
Jeffrey, YOU WERE RIGHT! I shoulda waited longer before counting Doogie's (howler boy, Tullibardine Douglas Mawson aka Doogloo) credits! It's just we've...
Jeffrey; Safety girl asked me to say thank you for thinking of her. She's waiting by the door still awaiting delivery of what Jack refers to now as her 'majic...
Susan, HOORAY FOR DOOGIE! Way to go, guy! And he may well come up with another "credit" in the next few weeks, don't sell him short. Of course, Seppala...
My Shepherd did not descend until he was almost 12 months. I neutered him anyway, so he was only able to enjoy his new found equipment for a couple weeks but...
Carie; Interesting. Yup, I guess the vets have their own kind of 'bubbles', as you and Jeffrey both so aptly remind :) And have you ever known other Chinooks...
That was Howard from the Seven Lakes litter. He ended up getting some tan points but it took a long time compared to the previous grey/blue and tans I have...
