Who are we?
Ron & I met over 15 years ago, and have been married for almost a decade - brought together by our love of music, travel, & frivolity, At the time I had a doberman named Dante & Ron had a couple of cats - neither of which particularly cared for the other. I have been competing in dog sports most of my life and when it was time to find a replacement breed for my doberman we decided to bring a German Pinscher into our life. Hooked on the breed, we now have three GPs living with us in St Helens Oregon - Lucy, Eddie, & Brennan. This is an active breed & we were fascinated with it's origin as an all around farm-dog & one prized for it's ability to hunt vermin and protect feed stocks. Hearing about the upcoming sport of Barn Hunt, we decided that the sport and our breed were a perfect match. Our first event was a clinic / fun test held in conjunction with a UKC event in Washington the summer of 2012 - we coerced some great Earth Dog judges into joining us, rented a few bales of hay, found a couple of rats and we were ready to have some fun. And fun we had, and are continuing to have with this sport and the wonderful Barn Hunt community in the Pacific North West. We still exhibit our dogs in other sports & venues, but Barn Hunting is fast becoming our focus. Our love of nature and living near the magnificent Columbia River was the nexus of our RiverRat name - join us on the river & get your Rat On!
