I'm Trissa H., the breeder behind Rainy Day Kennels located in Olympia, WA. We started our breeding program in order to produce quality working dogs initially to aid in the shortage of domestic bred Labradors fit for professional detection. We focus on breeding working and performance dogs that have the drive and stability for whatever sport or career you are dreaming of!
