Kiss

Burwell Kiss Me in Centerfield at Marina of Hope
May 3, 2022

AKC Championship in process. Currently at 12 points

Kiss is a wavy black and white 51 pound female who we anticipate will have the “L” litter of puppies in the spring of 2025.  Her health testing information is available here.

Show
Kiss loves to show and travel the country with her AKC registered handler, Dave Slattum. Kiss is flashy in the ring, and thinks everyone is clapping for her, win or not. 

Serve
Kiss is a happy girl, and she’s an example of the results of a breeding program focused on temperament and soundness of structure. Like our other dogs, Kiss has contributed her DNA to breed health studies, and we expect her best contributions to the breed will come through the whelping box and the puppies she will produce.

Shine
We didn’t choose Kiss, she chose us. At just six weeks of age, she would make her way out of the puppy area by leaping from the to slide and over the fence to make her great escape. She always made her way to one of the humans in the kitchen. Maybe it was FOMO but we like to think it’s because she knew who she wanted her family to be. This act embodies her personality to a tee - determined, willful, funny, and fiercely loyal to both her human and fur siblings.

Maija

CH Burwell Keep Sailing in Majorca at Marina of Hope
May 3, 2022

Maija is a moderate-sized wavy brown and white 47 pound female who we anticipate will have the “M” litter of puppies in spring, 2026.  Her health testing information is available here.

Show
Maija finished her AKC championship quickly, a testament to her sound structure and her drive in the ring. Maija has an exuberant personality and embodies the breed with her desire to work, both in and outside the ring. 

Serve
Like her sister Kiss, when the breed was trying to understand more about CDDY and IVDD in the breed, Maija was one of the PWDs who gladly participated in the research being completed by UC- Davis.  

Shine
Maija has an enthusiasm and love of all things in her life, especially her family. She’s a natural in the water and has taken to water retrieval tasks with ease.  She’s a fantastic family dog to her two toddler siblings and loves to play with her PWD brother from Hope Kennel’s “J” litter.
