James Keultjes was murdered on December 18, 2004 while working at a gas station owned by a friend. He was shot in the head and the man he was working with was shot in the chest and is paralyzed from the chest and down. Jim's heart is now beating in the chest of another as he was an organ donor.

Jim and his wife were the owners of Kayraw von Keultjes from our kennel and Jim was handling her in Schutzund training. He was doing a wonderful job with her training.

Jim also has another connection to our kennel, his son owns a Katzel Kennel puppy also, in fact a littermate of Kayraw.

UPDATE:
The person that is guilty of this crime has been sentenced and will be in prison for many, many years.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jim's family.
