We chose the IWS because we liked the IWS people we met at the Rose City Classic Dog Show in 2007. Among the great folks showing IWS, we met Tammy Walker and her male, Balloo. They are from the Seattle area, a regional hot bed of devoted IWS breeders and owners. Balloo is less than 60 lbs., but he’s a coiled spring, as attested by his dock-diving prowess of 21 feet. His genes and temperament sure provide Cooper with a lot of potential.
