Rainier

Rainier is incredibly special to me, and is my first bred-by keeper puppy, from our Arya x Jagger Litter. Arya’s my absolute heart dog and I didn’t think it was possible to have a connection with another dog, but little baby Rai Rai made sure to give me everything I was looking for in my next dog. Rainier has great food and toy drive, lives to tug, and absolutely loves frisbees. She is a great mix of a thinker & a doer. She is sassy, opinionated, hysterical, a cuddle bug, and very serious about her work. She has never met a stranger and is neutral to all dogs. She's an easy traveller and a great hiker, and has been on 7 road trips with us so far, 2 of those road trips being cross country!

She loves learning, so trick training came easily early on, so she is completely titled up through the AKC Trick Dog program through TKE!

On the disc field, Rainier is an absolute beast and loves her agility/disc UpDog games. Her second time playing 7Up (video in the video section below) she achieved a score of 64 (within the 94th percentile for the game for all scores of all time with UpDog), with 15 seconds left on the clock, and going around me for every disc (therefore, wasting time, we definitely could have had way more time on the clock, despite going for 3 jumps for each of the 5 catch zones!). We don't practice disc often, but will be picking a select few games to be competitive at to practice! With very limited showing, Rainier has her DDBE, and is one Silver UP away towards her DDS.

She also recently debuted in NADD Dock Diving and quickly achieved her DN and DJ titles! She is absolutely loving learning this new game to her!

The main sport I wanted to do with a keeper puppy was scent work, and Rainier took to it from a very young age. She made her debut in AKC scent work at 10 months of age, and has been excelling ever since, with virtually no NQ's and placements (primarily 1sts) for almost every run. At just over 2 years of age she has 23 AKC Scent Work titles, including her SWN, SWNE, SWA, & SWE titles. She is 1 Q away from her last elite title for her overall SWAE title, and is working towards her SWEE title. She will be continuing in Excellent this fall, and will be debuting in Master! We are also starting our NACSW journey, and in February of 2024, at her first attempt ever at NACSW, Rainier achieved her ORT title passing Birch, Anise, & Clove! In August of 2024, on her first try for her NW1, Rainier got her NW1 title, as well as 3rd place overall for the trial, 1st in Vehicles, and pronounced in Interiors. Being a team with her in scent work is an absolute dream, and I can't wait to see where our career takes us!

We are currently prepping for our debuts in Rally & Obedience!
