Rhian & Her Menagerie of Marvels!

Rhian and her family have their hands full – and hearts overflowing – with five furry friends! They share their home with a trio of Lurcher siblings – Sherlock, Watson, and Mikey – and a pair of lively Miniature American Shepherds, Quill and Hiccup.

Rhian is a whizz at trick training, having instilled impressive skills in her canine companions. At a mere seven months old, the dynamic duo of Rhian and Quill became a certified Trick Expert (DMWYD) and Trick Dog Performer (AKC) – that’s some serious talent!

Hoopers: A New Adventure

While relatively new to the exciting world of hoopers, Rhian and her canine crew have already made a pawsitive splash. They’ve aced numerous hoopers awards and relish the thrill of competition. Rhian’s passion for dog sports extends beyond training. She’s officially qualified as a UK Hoopers judge, even taking the reins at her first competition back in April 2021!

Hiccup, inspired by her talented sibling Quill, is also racking up hoopers awards and trick dog titles (AKC). With such a dedicated trainer and such enthusiastic pups, the future looks bright for Rhian and her furry family!
