Skye is the best marking dog we have bred. She made the National Derby List at two with 11 Derby points and went Qualified All-Age at four, owner-handled by Matt, which is not how most dogs get there. She had two litters for us — the 2022 litter that gave us Rye and the 2023 litter with Tucker — and was spayed in 2025, when we decided she'd given enough. She still runs the occasional Qualifying, still goes to the marsh every October, and still sleeps upside down on the mudroom bench.
