Smoke X Kate

Male known as Captain now lives in Alaska with the Kowalke family, thanks Tom 

When my wife and I decided to get a "new family member" a few weeks back, I was dead set on a Australian cattle dog. We started looking for local breeders. We found only one and they were not certain when they would have any litters available. So then we decided to look "out of state". Now, for all the people out there, the term "out of state" doesn't mean a 4 or 5 hour drive in which you get to the next state line. It may as well mean "half way around the world" when you live in Alaska. So there was no way that we could actually meet the breeder or the dog before we decided to get it. We had to somehow find somebody that we felt we could trust. Now Pedro was not the first breeder that we called. Nor was he the second or the third. He was the last. I
talked to other breeders and funny enough they all had the same attitude. They all wanted to put me on some waiting list so that I could wait to be "approved" to
purchase one of "their" dogs. That did not impress me. When I called Pedro, to be honest, I expected the same thing. I was so shocked to find somebody as down to
earth as he was. He answered all of our questions that night without any pressure to get off the phone. He sent us e-mail updates, video, and bunches of pictures. He even sent us more pictures of "Captain" that he had even after we had picked him up at the airport. He has been really helpful. And about that trust thing that I mentioned earlier. If my wife and I were to decide to get another "ACD", Pedro would be the first guy that I would call, even if I had to go on a "waiting list".

Thanks Pedro
Sincerely
Tom and Jenni Kowalke
Anchorage, Alaska
