Profile

Lady Lily was welcomed into RAGOM after a long career as a commercial breeder. She is a sweet, gentle, and shy girl who is gradually adjusting to home life. Lady Lily needs a quieter home with an older, larger, confident dog to take the lead from but not to expect much playfulness. Because she is uncomfortable with noise and activity, her future home should have no children or older teen children. Lady Lily needs a secure physical fence to let her enjoy the outside world safely. 

To understand why RAGOM will adhere to our requirements for Lady Lily regarding children and another dog, please read about Retired Breeding Dogs.

A short update on our Lady Lily. She has been progressing very well. She enjoys jumping in the truck and going for a ride with our Bridger boy. Amazes me. Sits up on the seat and checks out the scenery.

She is learning to see what ‘play’ is about. It will take time, but oh so cute to watch. She, of course, never had a chance for that from all her breeding years. Just to be a mama.

She is becoming more affectionate too. She is so soft, gentle and sweet. Lily will make a great companion for that right someone. So beautiful.

Last Friday she had her long day at the vet. She was spayed and had some very bad teeth removed. The surgery took a very long time due to a uterus that has produced so many (96) puppies and the dental was tough too as the extractions werelarge. My poor girl.

Lots of quiet time, comfort, babying and love for her now. It breaks your heart when these procedures need to be done on these lovely girls. Thank God it only has to happen once. It will take some time to recover and then she will be a ‘free, non-breeding’ girl!  We  just adore her.

Is this beautiful sweetheart right for your family? You can help too by sponsoring or donating!

I would like to introduce Lady Lily to RAGOM. Lily was raised in a breeding facility and had ultimately birthed 96 puppies. Those days are over for her now. We have had Lily a week now and she is so very sweet and gentle.

She is learning new ways, sounds, places, and schedules. She is a typical shy breeder mama who loves to carry her "babies" around. She has some safer spots to go to but basically is out where we are. It is fun to observe how these dogs try to learn these new things. So proud of her.

We went to the groomer (beauty parlor) this week and she did fairly well considering the blower noise and things. It was in late afternoon when only one or two dogs were there and was much quieter.

Lily will need a quieter home. Mature children and definitely another dog. She actually bonded quite quickly with our 8-month-old Goldendoodle, Bridger. She loves to follow his lead no matter what. They both even enjoy going for car rides together and Lily jumps right in!

It would be probably much nicer for Lily if she had another (larger) dog to bond with that is a little older and less active, even though our Bridger is a gentle BIG boy, he really wants to play and she is not interested.

Lady Lily will be getting spayed next week and has a couple teeth that need to be removed so she is not available at this time yet. 

What a beautiful, lovely angel she is. We sure enjoy her.
