Renee’s experience

  • About Renee

    My husband of 38 yrs passed away in 2016. One of my joys is being a mother and grandmother. I live on an average where my dogs get to run, play, hunt, and swim. I enjoy working with junior handlers and their dog. My dogs and myself are involved in conformation, barn hunt, dock diving, and Fast Cat. I enjoy teach classes for Barn hunt. I have a Facebook page for my barn hunt, Barn Hunt by Renee.

  • What makes Renee’s program special

    I believe in going above and beyond in socializing my puppies, puppies are born and raised in my home. I also encourage and help my puppy owners get involved in the breed.
