Cedar's Page

Cedar, Abakan Snow Falls on Cedar, is out of Ch. Wintermist's Just Bearly (OFA Excellent, Cerf) and Abakan Nahanni Waiya WSX (OFA Good, Cerf). Cedar was bred by Darlu Littledeer of Abakan Samoyeds. Cedar is 24 inches tall and weighs approximately 52 pounds.

Cedar's working and show career was cut short by a tragic accident not long after his first birthday. This tragic accident, which occurred when Cedar along with his sister and 3 other dogs escaped from our property after his sister Willow opened the gate out of our front yard. After two hours of search we found Cedar alive though in shock about three miles from our property. Cedar underwent numerous surgeries to repair his fractured humerus and femur at a surgery specialty clinic in Spokane followed up by rehabilitation at Washington State University's canine rehab unit.

Prior to his accident Cedar had embarked on a promising working and show career. He was a hard working dog in harness and seemed to enjoy showing off in the ring. He had a beautiful flowing sidegait, like his sister, and a beautiful front.

Cedar is OFA Good and Cerf. He is available at stud to approved bitches.

He sired one very lovely litter out of Ch Casper's High Sierra Gem WSX HCT-s.

Cedar recuperating after first surgery

Cedar's Story: Cedar suffered serious fractures due to gunshot wounds to the distal humerus and femur. The bone in his knee was in pieces and had to be wired back together plus grafted. Surgery was also performed on the left elbow, an IM pin was implanted along with a modified transcondylar fixator, plus graft material. Metal fragments were located elsewhere but not of concern and therefore not removed. The femur healed readily however subsequently the bone in the elbow did not, requiring a second surgery to put a bone plate in across the fracture. Eventually this healed. Meanwhile Cedar tore the cranial cruciate ligment in the right knee which had just healed which necessitated yet a third surgery. Cedar recovered well from that and at that time began a supervised rehabilitation program through Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine. All seemed well until he began to experience absesses in the vicinity of his left elbow around the bone plate. Eventually it was recommended that the bone plate be removed. Cedar underwent a fourth surgery for that. So Cedar is a pretty brave boy. Since the last surgery he has been very healthy and well and full of energy. He runs and plays in the yard, though with a limp. To learn about the clinic where Cedar had his surgeries click on the picture of Cedar recuperating. Below are pictures of him today.
