I started in English Cockers at a young age of 13. I had been involved in 4-H since I was very young with my childhood dog Cinder (the best dog) who was now getting older.  My 4-H leaders introduced me to Kelly of Calypso English Cockers from whom we got our first English Cocker, Mizu.  Mizu was an incredibly special boy and destined to become my moms dog.  

Following this line we got Kaji from Kelly as well, and he was to become my dog. Kaji was a do-it all dog in his youth. Backpacking, hiking, obedience, rally, agility.,,he did it all.  At college he was my ESA and I fully attribute where I am now to him.  Kaji sparked a true passion for English Cockers. I couldn't stop at just one.

Our next English Cockers were Nala, who became my parent’s dog, and my Helix. Both Nala and Helix were successful in the show ring but had other activities they would rather do. Nala loves her home life with my parents and Helix will likely be playing in sports such as Rally.

And now there is Ponder, my Ponderosa Pine.  Ponder is currently 2 points shy of her championship and fully health tested.  Pending the completion of her championship we are very hopeful that she will be an amazing foundation here at Rainwood.
