How It All Started

(Sobe's half brother, Benny)


It all started with a Girls Trip up to visit a friend in Boston. One of my girlfriends, Sarah, decided to take her new Lhasa puppy, Benny, with her on the trip. Benny is one of the most mild-mannered, loveable dogs I have ever met. He was great during the 4 hour drive up to Boston, didn't show signs of anxiety or aggression and slept through the nights in Boston without making a fuss. Like all puppies, Benny would have accidents in the house and can be overly playful and get into mischief but he was easily controlled and tolerated discipline from his momma. It was that weekend I decided I want a dog just like Benny!

That Monday, I went online to look for Benny's breeder. Karen Kennedy of Kennedy's Stoneridge Kennel out in Oklahoma had pictures of the latest Lhasa litter posted on NextDayPets.com. After looking through each puppy picture and reading the personality profiles, I decided on Sobe (formerly known as Winston). Karen has been extremely helpful in finding a match with my lifestyle and personality. It's difficult not to be able to interact with the dog prior to purchasing but I was confident after reading reviews on the breeder and interacting with Benny that Sobe would have the similar personality traits that Benny has.

Sobe arrived just this past Saturday. My husband, Rick, and I picked him up at the airport and we could tell he was scared and tired. He wasn't a fresh smelling puppy either! After a bath and a few hours later, he proved to be the most loving dog any first-time dog owner can ask for!
