This is how Kippy's ears became noticeably dog chewed. Her temperament is good and stable with a sweet disposition. She is accepting of new and different circumstances She get along with a variety of dog breeds. She is a good eater including the birds she points and flushes in the backyard.  Kippy is built like the current domestic dogs with moderate bone and body length, and unlike some of the African descendants, is not overly long in back or loin. Ears are correct size and placement. Head is pleasing with chiseling and cushioning and well-shaped, if a bit light eyes. Her neck is moderate flowing smoothly into her good shoulders, rear is also well angulated and feet are well shaped. She is a bit high in the rear. Her tail is well set with a single over the back loose curl. Movement is clean coming and going with a decent side gait.  Kippy has the unique talent of exceptional digging ability. She digs throwing the dirt six to ten feet and it is the humans job to fill the hole so the game can continue. This trait became especially evident about five to six day after Kip had a heat cycle, when she was looking to create a den... and what better place then under the foundation of the house.
