🐾 A Theme Song For My Life Would Be:
Every Breath You Take by The Police
🐾 I'm Obsessed With:
She loves doing Rally, but is obsessed with the Agility course!
🐾 If I Could Fill My Own Shopping Cart on Prime, It Would Contain:
Dog agility equipment, Pupford Freeze Dried Training Treats, Nothing to Hide Twist and Flip Chews, training treat pouch, large hearing ball, Fera Probiotics, and chew toys!
🐾 One of My Odd Quirks Is:
Despite her being part of the "Stormy" litter and her original "litter name" being Rayne, she despises being in the rain with every fiber of her body!
🐾 My Secret Naughty Habit Is:
Lyla is actually a very obedient dog, but she did steal an entire piece of meatloaf off my husband's plate before. So we don't leave food unattended now.
🐾 My Overall Temperament Is:
Peak Performer- I pretty much love to do all the things all the time! Naps are for the weak.
🐾 Funny Question: Is Lyla a Bathroom Stalker?
YES, every move you make!
🐾 Funny Question: What are Your True Feelings About the Prime Delivery Guy?
As the self appointed neighborhood gargoyle, Lyla takes sounding the alarm very seriously! The entire street will know if the Amazon guy pulls up!
🐾 Any achievements you'd like to share with us? Awards? Training Levels? Service? Etc.
Lyla has been incredibly bright from the start. She excelled in basic and Advanced obedience training as a puppy. She is currently in Rally and earned her Novice and Intermediate Titles. She is working on her Advanced Title currently, with one qualifying leg already completed. She has also begun training for Agility, and will start competing in 2026.
🐾 Anything Else You Want Us To Know About How Awesome You Are?
Yes. I would like to say what a positive Impact Lyla has had on our entire family. On a personal level, she has given me a new outlook on life itself. After years of battling chronic illness, we took a leap of faith and got a puppy. The fear of caring for a puppy was quickly replaced by dedication. Lyla got me up every morning. She inspired me to push the boundaries I placed not only on her, but on myself! I'm so proud of what we've accomplished together. Though I still have ongoing health concerns, she reminds us there is nothing we can't do, as long as we do it together!
🐾 What Were The Top Reasons You Chose SSH as Your Breeder?
Good breeding Standards, Healthy dogs with solid blood lines, the early puppy care given, the family behind SSH had values that aligned with my own. Kindness and compassion were at the heart of every choice. And the commitment that followed even after we took our puppy home made it clear they were the best breeder for our family.
