Tentropic Terrier

Rules:
  • Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
  • Tentropic Doppel-Dög loop: Draw an orthogonally connected loop through the centers of some cells that does not touch itself, even diagonally.
  • The loop starts from the cells marked with the dog and the arrow and is considered to be oriented in the direction indicated by the arrow.
  • A cell on the loop with a digit D has a value equal to the digit in the cell D steps away along the loop in the orientation given by the arrow. The values of cells not on the loop are the digits they contain.
  • Every set of 4 adjacent digits (not values) on the loop must contain a digit from each of the X-pair (ten-pair) subsets of {1,9}, {2,8}, {3,7}, and {4,6}. A 5 may not appear on the loop.
  • Killer: Values in a cage sum to the indicated total. Digits may not repeat within a cage, but values may.
  • Quads: Values in a circle must appear in the surrounding 4 cells, at least as many times as they are shown in the circle.

That was great but really really tough. Everything was fair and accessible but there are some steps that so surprising at first. Loved it
