🐾 WHERE ARE THEY NOW? — KENAI 💙
This week we’re heading across the water to the Isle of Man to catch up with gorgeous Kenai.
His family wanted a Labrador who would be a huge part of family life while fitting naturally into their active, outdoor lifestyle — and he is doing exactly that.
Kenai has recently started learning the ropes as a salmon fishing companion, and his owner says his instincts simply kick in when he’s out in the wilderness. Rivers, awkward bridge crossings, long days outdoors — he has taken it all in his stride.
“He is honestly the most loving, happy, clever boy ever. His personality makes everyone who meets him love him.”
Seeing him thrive is especially lovely for us because Kenai came along during a particularly demanding period at Silverace HQ, when kennel cough had affected a newborn litter and we were tube feeding and monitoring vulnerable puppies every two hours, day and night.
Breeders naturally share so many happy moments, but there is also a huge amount of care behind the scenes that families never see. Kenai was part of that chapter, which makes seeing him now — healthy, adored and off adventuring — feel even more special.
His family may also be responsible for starting what now feels like an annual Silverace pilgrimage to the Isle of Man, with several Silverace youngsters now living there through their recommendations.
As a passionate family breeder, that trust means more to us than we can say.
Keep adventuring, gorgeous boy. You really have become exactly the dog your family hoped for — and so much more. 💙
The same Silverace beginning, just very different stories. 🐾
