About Remmi
Remmi is my “soul dog”; the type that does anything she can think of to keep me smiling. She’s earned her rally novice and intermediate trick dog titles and has started obedience competition - impressing her trainers and the judge with her precision at a young age! She also has along with farm dog title and CGC. She has a solid off button when appropriate and a strong desire to please. She stays busy helping me work with client dogs and is of course happiest when playing fetch and frisbee.
