Nova was the only girl in the litter out of Jory x Skye and Barb Dillon was kind enough to let her come live with us at Sarron. Nova has an excpeptional pedigree and we are excited to watch her grow. She has a good front and rear, a lovely straight coat and a very pretty headpiece. We hope she will be a great asset to our breeding program, as she is a very sweet and easy girl to live with.

Nova went to her first dog show in February 2026 and was amazing! She won Winners Bitch for a 4 pt major on her first show. She finished her first weekend out with a Reserve to a Major as well Nova showed a couple more times in March 2026 and has 7 pts toward her AKC Championship. She is a very sweet, sound girl.

The beginning of May '26, Nova was not acting right - she was going off her feed, lethargic, just not thriving. I worked with her over a weekend and took her into the vet on Monday May 4th. We did bloodwork and it wasn't too bad, my vet recommended worming her and a couple other things, which I did. By Wednesday,May 6th, she still wasn't improving and we couldn't figure out what was going on, so on Thursday, I took her up to Ohio State University Vet Hosp on an emergency basis. The vet looked at her blood work, walked through everything else we had already tried and said - "this almost looks like it could be Addisons' Disease" I told him that "yes, it could be that. I've only produced Addisons' one times before and it was from the same sire" They focused in on Addisons, did the Cortisol test and YES - that was it! They started treatment on her on Friday May 8th - which includes a hormone replacement injection every 25 days and a low dose of predinsone daily. Nova has stablized and is doing well on treatment. She is SUCH A GOOD GIRL. I am very fortunate that I have a great primary care vet who listens to me and helps me with all my dogs as well as access to OSU with a great specialist community. Nova is alive today due to that care.

Due to her condition, Nova was spayed on June 24th and has recovered well. She came into season right after her diagnosis and it's possible that her crisis was brought on by her hormonal fluctuations. So, to prevent that from happening again, and also to prevent her from reproducing, I had Nova spayed at Ohio State. She did great with the surgery and recovery and she is now ready to go to a new forever home. We are looking for a quiet, yet active companion home for her. Fenced yard and she needs to be the only dog or one of two dogs - at most. I want her to get a lot of attention. She has completed the following training classes: puppy obedience, intermediate obedience, puppy agility and junior puppy obedience. She loves to learn. Her favorite trick is giving HIGH FIVE! Nova is 23 1/2" tall and weighs about 45 lbs. She is house broken, good in a crate and expen and rides well in a crate in the car. Nova is sweet as pie and with her meds, should live a normal life. She will need oral meds dialy and hormone replacement injections every 25 days - all of her life. But she has a lot of love and life to give.
