Johnathan en Kaleb: Partners for life.

This is JOHNATHAN who lives in the small coastal town of Jacksonville on the east coast of North Carolina in the USA. He is mobility as well as hearing impaired. To help him further in his life he will be receiving an assistance dog which is trained to i.e. open doors, pick up things, react to all sounds etc. The dog is also taught to pull his wheelchair. The dog that will assist him for the coming years is KALEB van ADELRIK , one of our breedings from the following sire and dam: Cay van Gerjo X Borea van Adelrik . At this moment the dog is still in training, but in November he will go permanently to Johnathan. The training of this dog is in the good hands of Judi Mullen.
