Sumo came into our lives by way of a breeder who wanted him to have a wonderful life. Plans were for Sumo to be a show dog, but his permanent teeth came in very crooked. He also had demodex when we first met him. We had just lost our first adopted pei girl the weekend before we met Sumo. Vicki asked if we would like to give Sumo a good home and, of course, we said yes. Sumo was born on 3/29/96 , so he's getting on up there in years. Sumo had glaucoma and had to have his eyes removed. He's gets around very well, though, and is a happy, healthy boy.
