YORIK'S PAGE
Yorik was born on October 18, 2005 in Greece. He arrived here in the Missouri Ozarks after a plane trip from Greece to Germany to New York and then to Denver. Then after 2 weeks, he made a car trip to Salina Kansas where we met his breeder, Brenda, and picked him up. He came to live with us February 4, 2006.
Yorik is a product of the international breeding program of AncientRidge Kennel in Greece and RidgeRunner Elkhounds in Kersey, Colorado.
We had three puppies to pick from. It was VERY difficult to choose - they were all so sweet and they all had special qualities that we liked. From what we had already heard from his breeder regarding the personalities of the three puppies, we were already leaning towards Yorik, and after we met him we were sure he was the puppy for us.
Yorik has proven himself to be
extraordinarily intelligent and highly trainable.

Yorik's temperament is very gentle. He gets along great with our other dogs, and he is very affectionate. He loves riding in the car and doing new things. He has a new friend, Sadie, who lives next door and comes over for playdates. He performed his new act, the Tricky Dog Show at our church Bible school this past summer!

Still in Greece - what a sweet little guy.
Brenda sent the red dog and ball
