Khe Sanh from New Zealand Photos

This is Khe Sanh our 16 week old female puppy.

She came from a litter of 5 - The only 5 puppies in New Zealand.

Welcome to the forum Greg. Khe Sanh is so cute - is that a Maori name? There are a few more Fauves in the UK, but it is still unusual to see one when out on a walk. Is she a show prospect, or purely a pet?

Just a pet at this stage. The breeder has asked to look at her before we have her de-sexed though just in case she has turned in show dog or is up for breeding from.

Khe Sanh is a Village in Vietnam, where some of the big battles were fought. We liked the name because of a song sung by an Australian Group (Cold Chisel) named Khe Sanh.

There used to be a Fauve male, (called Duncan), just a few houses along from us, - they are no longer there. He had a loveable nature but, (like one of my Beagles, who came as an adult), had next to no recall, and was never allowed off lead. I would keep practicing and rewarding that while she is still young, it is so hard to instill once they have developed that independent hound spirit.

She is so beautiful
