We imported this pretty girl and her brother, Kobe, from New Zealand. Bred by Roz Cooper, sired by our Pirandello out of Roz' typey little Minnie, whom I very much admired when I visited last year. Like most SunDiata dogs, Khera was slow to develop, she finished her championship in 5 months, before her first birthday, with all of her wins but the last one from the puppy classes. Very pretty head and wrinkle, calm and happy disposition, we are pleased to have Khera for our breeding program. Lives in Southern New Jersey with Michael, Kathleen, and William Mitchell.
