Two weeks ago we welcomed Gryphon back into the house. He had gone home with a lovely family that were very excited for their first dog. They had done all the research and prepared as best they could. But as those of us who have raised puppies know, all the preparation does not necessarily prepare you for the reality of having a puppy. And sometimes reality can be more than they are ready for. So they did what was in his best interest and brought him back to mom.
Today he went to his forever home. He has a new mom and dad, Emily and Ian and three kids all to himself, they call him Trout. He is their second Toller, so they totally know what they are in for😁. I am so happy to welcome them into the Sardonyx family and look forward to seeing all his new adventures.

As a breeder I have set some personal goals, things that I view as signs that I am doing things right. One of those goals was to have repeat puppy buyers. I think it says a lot about a breeder when a family comes back and says the dog we got from you was so wonderful we would love another.

Earlier this week I made that goal a reality. Last summer I sent a female puppy to Colorado from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame litter(Draco x Cherry), that puppy was Ramones now Chama.

On Monday, Chama met her half brother, Toadstool now Huck (Sardonyx’s River of Adventure). The two are building a bond that makes me so happy.

Thank you Irene and Grahme for loving Cham so much you needed another one 😉.
