Temperament & Role in the Program
Kana is one of the most joyful, human-focused dogs we’ve ever known—a true working soul with a light-filled spirit. From her earliest weeks, she showed a drive to learn, follow, and contribute. By just three months old, she was riding shotgun in the tractor, calm and confident beside her human, Uri. She’s a farm companion through and through—fetching stray chickens, jumping to help, and always eager to be part of the task at hand.
Kana brings unmatched biddability, food motivation, and trainability. Her puppies consistently reflect her gentle, willing temperament, making them ideal first-time NAIDs for people new to the breed. Her spirit-coated Soquili type, historically associated with higher domestication, continues to show that these dogs were—and still are—chosen for their role alongside humans.
*** What makes her truly special? Kana radiates joy. She doesn’t walk—she bounces. Her energy is magnetic, uplifting, and contagious. To meet Kana is to feel your spirit lift. And her pups carry that joy forward into homes that need it most.
