🚨 SCAM ALERT – PLEASE BE AWARE! 🚨

Unfortunately, this is now the third time this year that we have been notified of our kennel name, photos, and dogs being used to promote breeder scams, fraudulent listings, and other scams.

We want to make a few things VERY clear:

🐾 SkyRyder does NOT conduct business through Facebook Messenger.

🐾 SkyRyder does NOT accept deposits of any kind.

🐾 Anyone using our kennel name, photos, or dogs to solicit deposits or payments is NOT associated with us.

It is incredibly frustrating to see our kennel and dogs being misrepresented by individuals attempting to take advantage of others.

We sincerely appreciate everyone who has reached out to bring these situations to our attention. Your messages allow us to report fraudulent accounts and listings and hopefully prevent someone from becoming a victim.

Please do your research, verify who you are communicating with, and never hesitate to reach out if something seems suspicious.

Thank you to everyone who continues to look out for SkyRyder and helps us protect the reputation we have worked so hard to build. ❤️🐾

💕🏆 2026 ASCA NATIONAL SPECIALTY 🏆💕

We are a little late getting around to posting our Nationals updates, but better late than never! 🤩 And what better way to kick things off than with our girl, Sansa!

🏆 2026 ASCA National Specialty – 1st Place Brood Bitch! 🏆

MBISOH MRBISOH Multiple Group Winning & Group Placing AKC GCH NOHSG ASCA SCCH
SkyRyder Storm of Swords
⚔️ “Sansa” ⚔️

This year, Sansa stepped into the Brood Bitch ring with two of her babies from her first and only litter, and we couldn’t be prouder of the three of them!

What makes this win even more special is that Sansa is now the FIFTH generation in her lineage to win Brood Bitch at the ASCA National Specialty! Five generations of incredible girls, and we are so proud to have continued that legacy. ❤️

Sansa has given us so much to be proud of throughout her show career. From all her incredible wins to the memories we’ve made together along the way, she has truly been a once-in-a-lifetime girl. This win was just the cherry on top of an already amazing career.

With that, our sweet Sansa is officially retired….. Aside from maybe making an appearance in Veterans once in a blue moon, she’s earned her spot on the couch being mad her children get to go instead of her.

We couldn’t have asked for a better way to close out her career. So incredibly proud of this girl, everything she’s accomplished, and the beautiful babies she’s given us.

What a way to go out, Sansa! 🥹💕🏆

We have been keeping a secret - Sansa is Expecting!! 🎉💕🤩

We have taken Sansa to the handsome Duffy at Sonkist Aussies - Thank you Heather Scott, & Paul Scott for the opportunity to breed to the wonderful Duff man!

We are absolutely over the moon about this litter and seeing what it brings! 💕

I had the opportunity to show Duffy in Brood bitch this past nationals and fell in love with him! As did Sansa when we arrived in California and all they wanted to do was hangout and snuggle (not just because she was in season). Truly such a special dog and we cannot be more excited! 💕

We do have a few potential companions available, to be considered please complete the puppy questionnaire on our website! 🎉
