Sose was born in Karvachar, a beautiful area in Artsakh, which was lost to the violence and aggression in the fall of 2020 against the Armenian people.  The attacks resulted in families fleeing for their lives, including the shepherd of these dogs.  Many families were able to escape but with only the clothes they were wearing; while others managed to save some personal belongings.  Most were unable to transport their livestock or dogs, which resulted in most of the gamprs being lost.  We are thankful that this shepherd could quickly move his family to safety and that he had the means to save his magnificent dogs as well. 

 

Pups and parents relocated to a small village in west Armenia, where the pups finished growing up with three other litters while awaiting their flight to the US.  Sose and her siblings were imported to the US as essential genetics for the Armenian Gampr Club of America's conservation program to save the breed.  She is not related to any dogs in the US/CAN beyond her two siblings:  one sister in VA and a brother in GA.  We are excited to have Sose as part of our pack and hearts.
