Comments: Joann has the kindest look of any dog I have seen. A lovely bitch with a beautiful head with small, well-set ears that she also produced. Her coat is dark and short. Her movement is nice and flowing. She does not have a good topline. She produced a lot of white on some of her pups.

Comments: Male: Kibushi Spellbinder-Niger (tri), Kibushi Sands of Time (R/W) and Females: Kibushi Sweet Applesauce (R/W) and Kibushi Kana of Idlewild (R/W). Spellbinder-Niger was used at stud. He is a nice house pet but wary of strangers and positively dislikes his veterinarian. He has sired several champions - some with excellent temperaments and others not as good. Kibushi Kana also is known to have had at least one litter. Applesauce was also bred from.
