I’ve been trying to find the right words to share this because so many of you have followed Coral’s journey over the last few months and have been checking in on her.
Today we finally got the answers we’ve been searching for, even though they weren’t the answers we were praying for.
Coral’s MRI confirmed that she has a brain tumor.
As breeders, we spend years researching pedigrees, completing health testing, and doing everything we possibly can to produce healthy, happy dogs. Sometimes, despite doing everything right, life takes us down a path we never expected.
At this time, there is no indication that Coral’s diagnosis is related to a hereditary condition. As always, we believe in being completely transparent with our puppy families, and if we learn anything that would be important for our families to know, we will absolutely share it.
Right now, our focus isn’t on what tomorrow looks like… it’s on today. Keeping her comfortable. Loving her a little harder. Spoiling her a little more. Celebrating every good day and making as many beautiful memories as we can.
Many of you share a special connection with Coral because she is the mama, grandma, or great-grandma to your own Reynolds Family puppy. She has touched so many lives, and seeing updates of her babies over the years has brought me more joy than you’ll ever know.
Please keep our sweet girl—and our family—in your prayers. We are absolutely heartbroken, but we’re choosing to focus on the time we have, not the time we may lose.
Thank you for loving our dogs like family… because to us, they truly are. ❤️
