She is one amazing, special little redhead that has so very much to offer. At four months of age, she began working as a Therapy Dog in Training giving much unconditional love and comforting many. Upon reaching the age of one year, she received her CGC Title and her Therapy Work was growing by leaps and bounds.

Describing Sydney, she is without a doubt, the most intelligent dog we have met in our lifetime. She has a calming disposition, loving nature and just understands the needs of those whom she meets. Sydney had a litter of beautiful puppies Summer 2017, 4 handsome boys and one adorable little redhead just like Mom… (Miss Ruby Slippers).

After much soul searching and yes, bittersweet, we knew deep in our hearts that Miss Sydney was “born to serve”. Miss Sydney left her role as a breeder and growing her legacy. She is now doing what she was meant to do!

Sydney was awarded to an Intervention Specialist Teacher and does what she does best, therapy work in a private special needs school. Sydney’s simple “calming presence” and “understanding” brings much needed encouragement, comfort, trust, confidence and joy to the children.

Sydney is also a “Local TV Star” showcasing her endeavors with the children at school.

We will always love you Miss Sydney…Make us proud of all your beautiful, loving work!
