Cedar came from Cornerstone Kennel in Clinton, ME, Jan Bellaire is the breeder/owner. I'm not sure that I would get another from her. I couldn't ask for a better dog than Cedar, however, I was supposed to get his AKC papers after he was neuterd and after three calls I gave up. What I think may have happened is I had shown an interest in one dog from a different litter and when we went three weeks later I picked him from another and she had papers all made out and never changed them. I was a bit suspicious when I was signing them, but he was only going to be a pet, so it didn't matter that much. In the end, I am very very happy with what I got, so it doesn't even matter.
