I waited a long time for this puppy! Rayna is a daughter of my much loved Raymond, born from a frozen breeding a year-and-a-half after Raymond's death. I will be forever grateful to my friend and Rayna's co-breeder Jamie Evans for going through all that we did in order to get our four wonderful Raymond/Daliah puppies. It was all worth it! I picked Rayna because she was the smallest, quietest, and least driven puppy. I quickly realized that she is none of those things! Rayna is VERY high drive and very opininated, and she is quite sure she is always right. Pretty much every day she does something that makes me laugh, just like her dad did. I absolutely adore her. Sadly, Rayna had three ACL surgeries in 2017, and she spent eight months of that year being leash walked and rehabbed. However, we moved on with a vengence from that dark time, and Rayna continued to work hard in herding, obedience, rally, tracking, and nosework. She earned several titles in 2018 in herding, nosework, and rally, but in 2019, Rayna really came in to her own. She finished an amazing 28 titles in obedience, herding, nosework, and rally! Rayna also surpassed my wildest expectation by placing tenth out of 110 dogs at the 2019 AKC Rally Nationals! In her obedience debut in Beginner Novice, she earned scores of 198 1/2, 198 1/2, 198 1/2, and 196 1/2. In 2020, during a pandemic, Rayna earned an incredible 20 titles. But more importantly, she survived a serious leptospirosis illness during the summer of 2020 to come back as strong as ever, earning her PCD and CD with all first places and three High in Trials, along with her Advanced A Duck title. In 2021 Rayna earned 22 titles in obedience, nosework, and herding, along with 9 Herding Championship points! Rayna continued her winning ways in 2022 by earning 20 titles, including her HC, UD, UDX, OM1 and 59 OTCH points with all her firsts! She also earned her NACSW NW1, winning overall First Place and Pronounced over an entry of 37 dogs, along with her overall AKC Master Scent Work title. The injury bug bit us again in 2023, and we spent a lot of time rehabbing AGAIN. Rayna still earned 11 titles in 2023 including her UDX2, OM2, and OM3, and she came up just short of her OTCH at the end of the year. 2024 was a dream come true, as Rayna finished her OTCH in March, which was Gerianne's 9th OTCH, and just five months later she finished her RACH. Among the 16 titles she earned in 2024 were her TD, her Overall Elite in AKC Scent Work, her UKC Nosework Grand Championship, and her NACSW NW2. Rayna has earned many High in Trials in rally, nosework, obedience, and herding, and I am so excited to continue advanced tracking and nosework with this amazing animal. She continues to teach me many things!
