Bred By Delfin D. Quiseng

Duke was my first show dog. He came to me as a young adult with some social issues. With time and LOTS of training he became the BEST DOG EVER!!
I learned a lot from him and the most important thing he taught me was patience. Duke hated dog shows, but he did it for me. He had a specialty major win and an all breed major win. Finished his championship in style at the Eukanuba National Championship in Long Beach, CA. He took the term "finished" literally. We competed in lots of other events. He excelled in field trials, mastered earthdog, enjoyed rally and dabbled in agility. He returned to the show ring with my son Douglas. They had SO much fun together.
I lost Duke to a freak accident. I miss him terribly. I did breed him once and got my 2 beautiful girls Duchess and Fayzee.

Bred By Jan Anholt

My sweet Annie. Drove to Tucson, AZ in one night to pick her up from Jan Anholt. Annie was full of life and always did things at top speed, as long as it was on her terms. I took everything I learned from Duke and started with her. When she wanted to show she was stunning, when she didnt... well she was a handful. Annie took her time to finish her Championship, but she finished with 3 Specialty Majors and Best of Opposite Sex from the classes.
Annie LOVED to hunt. Field Trials were her favorite. She was the rat hunter in my chicken coop, but was not a fan of earthdog. Its no fun when you cant kill them.
I did breed her once and she gave me 2 beautiful girls Duchess and Fayzee.
I was not done with her, we had just started to train in agility and rally when Annie got sick with pneumonia. It came on so fast there wasn't much we could do for her. I miss my CRAZY hunting fool sooo much.

Rare Treat's Luna-Tic
Luna
February 26, 2007 - May 1, 2019

Luna, my very confused Australian Shepherd. She was definitely the odd ball in the pack, But she was the sweetest dog ever. She was supposed to be my Agility dog, but the outside world was kinda scary for her. We tried herding but she lost interest in it and seemed happy to just be a dog.
Fluffy dog as I called her loved to play ball and just hang out. She taught all the puppies about big fluffy dogs.

She lived a good life and passed away in her sleep here at home.

FC Rizing Starz Max A Zillion JE
Max
April 10, 2005 - July 2019

Max has had many accomplishments, including multiple field trial absolutes, 2010 DCA High in Trial agility standard winner and the 2008 Fastest wiener in the west.
Max was my first Dachshund I ever competed with in so many venues. If it wasn’t for him I would have never gotten to where I am today. ❤️

Max disappeared one July day. We searched and searched for him but never found him.
I miss my grouchy, toothless old man

Rare Treat's Runnin' Down A Dream
Rarity

CH Roserun's Wandering Minstrel X GCH DC Rare Treat's I Wont Back Down JE

My Sweet Rarity. Gone way too soon.
She was an incredible hunter in the field. Multiple placements in Large Open All Age Bitch stakes. We had started to train for Rally and she was excelling. But most of all she was Roslyn's best friend.

She was really lethargic and not herself. We took her to the emergency vet. They ran tests and nothing came up. She was getting weaker and weaker with no clue what was wrong. So we made the hardest decision to let her go.
