PIPER

After beginning with her CMRD training at 6-months-old, Piper recently became B.A.R.K. certified in the Spring of 2018. As a 6-year old Border Collie with a ton of personality, she is always happy to learn new skills. She has attended three avalanche dogs schools and been part of search and rescue operations near Mt. Baker.

DARWIN

Darwin is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever who is B.A.R.K. certified and loves to play fetch, swim, or just snuggle on the couch. As a smaller group of working dogs, Tollers offer a great combination of size, hardiness in harsh weather, and drive to perform a job. He has attended two avalanche dog schools and been spotted in multiple magazines due to his photogenic skills.

IGGY

As the youngest addition to the team in the Spring of 2018, Iggy came to us through a strong line of working dogs in Canada. Dogs from the same breeder can be found working as avalanche rescue dogs in both Canada and the US. This winter, Iggy will be moving through her levels of certification.
