With a heavy heart this morning; we had to say goodbye to our oldest team member this weekend. Oakley was 14½ he's nickname "hokely smokely". He is going to be missed deeply.
Oakley is one of Ruthies before Crystal Blue SD was made into what it is now. Oakley as a little pupp picked me "Ruthie" when I first saw his litter. I was asked by friends if I wanted a pupp from Oakleys dad that was one of my dogs I sold them some time ago. Of course I had to say YES! Oakley like his generations before him was a lead dog. He was 3rd generation from my blood lines. He was one smart cookie! Hes the reason we have clips on all of our gates in the kennels. He learned how to open them. Also he knew how to sneak past you quickly without you knowing he got out, but he was one of those sled dogs you never wanted to see go. Pleasing us with whatever we wanted and asked him to do! Give us all the never ending kisses! He was so gentle with kids and loved to see those babies in the stroller! Oakley you WILL BE MISSED.💙
If anyone has pictures of him we would love to see them!🤍
