Kate- I got him from my daughter's friend whos dogs got together before she was spayed. #-o They had 10 pups and 1 died. My daughter saw Moose being born and steaked claim on him right away. I didn't want another dog let alone a puppy but boy I am so happy that I did. He is not from any special bloodline that I know of. I'm not breeding him so that part was not to important to me.
