Sofi is our fiery little brown/white parti that was born and bred by Kyessiline Kennels in Ontario, Canada. If you've never met a PWD, meeting Sofi will give you a wonderful example of the PWD temperament. She has a great working drive and is super eager to please her owners. She loves to lay on the bed, in your lap when inside but is ready and waiting to retrieve her buoy time after time in the water as well. Check our puppies page for upcoming puppy plans with Sofi.

Sofi Dabbles in Agility
Right before Sofi got on her way to finally come to Hawaii, we sent her to an agility camp(as a pup) just for some fun!! You can see she has a long way to go, but this was still a great early learning experience for her. Thank you to top trainer Ginsey St. Croix for taking a little time out with Sofi.
Sofi's Love of Water
