Blue Nile Special Kalaya Sunshine lives with Georgie Paone and her Can Ch. Sadik Sansar Wind in beautiful White Rock, BC, Canada. So far, Kalaya has enjoyed socializing at dogs shows and practicing on the lure. However, some uninvited "gymnastics" left her with a broken leg which was plated and has healed beautifully. Her plate was removed in May and now this girl is back to fun and running for the summer! Soon, we hope to see Kalaya making a return to the lure fun and getting a start in the show ring.
