Our Dogs
Our dogs are the cornerstone of our lives and training, spanning many different styles and drives. Our dogs have taught us versatility with training approaches.
Buena Vista's Baileyanna CGC RN
"Bailey"
Bailey has been around since the very beginning. Being my first dog, Bailey has been there for all the big milestones in life and training. She has tested me during every training step and has earned the title of princess of the house for good reasons. I often joke that she is the dog that knows the most but you have to reason with her to showcase her skills. Now retired she moonlights as a ranch dog and can be found sunbathing any chance she gets, often defining rules she believes don't apply to her.
Woodstock's Power of Love RN
"Huey"
Huey was my first purebred dog, during our time we have been in the breed ring, jr. showmanship ring, rally ring, plus extensive training in agility and obedience. We have overcome many training challenges and accomplishments that have made me a better trainer. My little heart dog is now retired and enjoys a slower life teaching the next generation.

"Porter"
Porter is the youngest of the family but fits in perfectly. From the start, Porter was raised as a performance dog prospect and has had a great start. Starting strong with his first rally x qualifications scores at 7 months old, and his rally RNX title at 10 months old. We are currently pursuing additional rally titles (ASCA & AKC), and obedience titles. In addition to working towards trialing in agility and exploring our stockdog side. We have big plans and are constantly working on ways to build our bond and exploring more training opportunities. Porter's the easy-going child of the family always looking for a way to work.
Buena Vista's She's All That CGC SPOT RE TKN NJP
"Harper"
Harper is part of our extended family, she is a co-own with my mother. Since she is so close to the family I have been lucky to be involved with most of her training and have been honored to earn a few rally legs with her at my side. She continues to show rally, obedience, and agility. She is also a very active therapy dog across many organizations as well as many venues.
Sydney's Forever Amber CGC CGA RA CD
"Amber"
Amber is where it all started, the first dog that ignited a dog training passion. During our time together we competed in Jr. showmanship and earned our CD in ASCA, AKC, & UKC. She then when on to earn numerous titles in Rally with my mother along with extensive therapy dog work. Amber was the Queen of the house and nothing has been the same without her, truly a once-in-a-lifetime dog. Thank you for igniting a great passion, you will always be missed!
