Dakota is out of the Zakai x Molly litter born on April 6, 2008. He is 1 of 8 puppies and lives in New Jersey. He had a bit of a rough start but is thriving with his new family. He was originally purchased by a family who were not prepared to handle a puppy and gave him up 2 days after getting him. They gave him to a family member who took wonderful care of him but, after a few months, realized he needed more than she could give him. With that said we began our trek to locate another loving family. We were successful and he now lives only 25 minutes away from his previous owner so she has been able to visit him quite often. He now spends time at his family’s car dealership, greeting people as they come in. He also gets outings on the family property that is flowing with many streams and lakes.
Below is an email from the previous owner after she gave up Dakota:

Dear Carla, I am writing to thank you for the wonderful experience I had purchasing my beloved Dakota from you. He is a top of the line dog. I can’t believe how intellingent and loving he is. I couldn’t have asked for a more loyal “friend”. Your puppies are very important to you. Anyone can see how much you love them and care about them. You are vigilant about following up to make sure everything is okay with the puppies and that both puppy and owner are happy together. When I realized I had to get Dakota a new home due to health problems and also realizing Dakota needed more room to run you worked hard to find him just the right home. You were also wonderful about making sure that Dakota’s new family would let me visit him. I appreciated receiving the high quality puppy you promised. It was a pleasure not only doing business with you but also getting you for a friend as an added bonus. I will always recommend your puppies to potential customers and brag about what a fair business woman you are. Keep up the great work. Sincerely, Donna
“Dakota ” Was my dog name. We had to put him to sleep. I miss him so must He was my best friend ever. He was a puppy that my son found on the road. He ask around and nobody said that he was there’s. He became my dog he wouldn’t let anyone get to close with out letting me know, and even my husband had to watch what he was doing around me . I love all dog’s I like your dog they look wild like the wolf ,and I really like one but I am getting old and my body is disabled and can’t do the things i once’s did . I hate it but I had to work and I had worked like man. Now I must pay by not being able to take care of one. And we have no fenced in yard, we have a belgam and she a hand full. My husband wanted her and he bought a horse led line and lets her walk him. I roll it up and she walk with me not me being draged along. But if she gets loose she run’s up the road across the fields when she run out of engery I take the car down the road and holler her name she comes and she get’s into the car and home. She stay in the house and ruff’s up the old cat ever now @then. But I really loved the last turtle shell mail . he was tempting. and who knows I may get a fence and be able to watch them . And they can run and play.
