Update at Rainmaker Ranch November 2008

Well I should have known if I sent out an update before the end of the month I would have to send another.

I am happy to report one of Kiwi’s full sisters who is also Casey’s niece, Stella’s daughter, Callie’s and Andie’s half niece (okay so as you can tell all our females are related) has passed her Assistance Dog Testing, the youngest dog to have ever passed at 7 months of age. Please note there is a difference between CGC Dog (Canine Good Citizen and allowed to visit hospitals), Therapy Dogs (service by presence) and Service Dogs (trained for full service to those with disabilities). We have dogs reaching all three types of service now that Muffin (Casper and Stella) has passed her ADI. This is what Dino Brownson (well respected service dog trainer) had to say about Muffin.

“She is the most perceptive dog I have ever trained or been with. I took her to the county Court House last week and she is now registered as follows with a tag that reads: Ohio Handicapped Assistance Dog, Permanent Registration 3643. I think that I may have mentioned that she is the youngest puppy to have ever passed the ADI Public Access test.” --Dino
