"Tzudan" was loved and owned by Hans Kabel of Bonnie Briar Kennels, CA and Paul, Mylanie, Dyce & Max Kabel of Samoya Kennels in the Netherlands where he started his FCI show career as a Great Japanese Dog (GJD).
Special thank you to Paul &  family for all their love and devotion to Tzudan throughout his short life.  He is pictured above with his best buddy "Qwen" their wire fox terrier - who will miss him terribly. We were all very proud of Tzudan as he continually received compliments on his lovely head piece, dynamite movement, solid topline and wonderful temperament.  We all held great hopes for him.  Sadly he was taken from us very young by Chronic Accute Kidney Failure.  His daddy Paul had to help him across the bridge which is the nobelist and kindest of gestures one can demonstrate for someone so special and so loved.  Thank you Tzudan for their wonderful memories - you made me very proud. 
Below Tzudan ~18 months with his much treasured family and best friends.

both Tzudan and Julie have crossed the
Rainbow bridge within 3 weeks of each other

My deepest sympathies
go out to the Kabel family
for their loss of them both. May the many wonderful memories help to fill the emptiness.
