Rachie on the Run

Rachie is a running machine. She loves running & fetching tennis balls - she will fetch them all day.

She is super fast & does laps aorund her 5 brothers. She does stop occasionally to hunt insects in the yard as she is doing in the 2nd picture above. Rachie was given up for adoption when her previous owner's kennel was flooded in the Iowa floods of 2008. She spent over a year in the animal shelter kennel before we took her into the Illinois Birddog Rescue foster program. She had some prior obedience training classes when she was at the shelter & this past summer she graduated another 6 week basic obedience program. She is highly trainable & very willing to work for treats. I think that she would be great dog for someone who wants to get into dog agility classes or Flyball. Rachie loves wrestling & playing tug of war with her 5 brothers, but would love a family of her very own that could spoil her. She wants nothing more than to sit in your lap & go wherever you go. She even sleeps under the computer desk. Rachie & Jasper are being fostered in Des Moines, IA but we are willing to bring them to IL or a neighboring state if you would like to meet them.
