Welcome to Sardonyx Canines. We are a family run kennel. Our dogs live in our home and are an important part of our family. Our puppies are raised in our family room where they are attended to by all human members of the family. They are engaged daily in mental and physical stimulation to promote even-tempered, ‘able to handle anything’ adults. They are also provided with lots of love and snuggles. Please look around our site to learn more about Tollers and our program.
Chris and Cara have always loved dogs. We were introduced to Tollers in 2007 and welcomed our first female in 2008. Twelve years later, when we decided the time was right for us to begin our showing and breeding adventure, we knew that Tollers were the right breed for us. We got lucky that a breeder we had been considering was looking for a show home for a male puppy. We welcomed Draco into our family in August 2020 and started preparing for our new future.
We wanted a name with meaning to our family. Karl was our only mixed breed, rescue dog. Sardonyx is one of the birthstones associated with August, his birth month. Using his birthstone for the name is our way of connecting all members of our pack to the kennel.
