Owner's History
Kathy Rasmussen founded Rainbow Show Dogs in the late 1970's.
She continues to be involved in dog sports and is a member of the
following organizations:
- International Association of Canine Professionals

Her daughter, Kari Smith, is her partner. Our first show dog was a
Siberian Husky. Our biggest success with Siberian Huskies came in
the early 1990's with our Best In Specialty Show, multiple Group
winning, top ten ranked Champion KisNTel's I See A Rainbow. Now we
have her three grandsons. One is a Champion(CH) and the other 2
have their Companion Dog(CD) and all three have their Rally Novice
(RN) obedience titles and one has earned his Rally Advance (RA) title.
The two with CDs are also Specialty High In Trial winners. In 2008 we
added a new Siberian puppy that is already earned AKC
Championship points as well as being a Multiple Best of Breed
winner at 7 months of age.
In 1999 we added a Cardigan Welsh Corgi to the line up and now we
have 5 in residence. Our Cardigans have earned numerous AKC
Championships, AKC Obedience and Rally Obedience titls (CD and
RN) and in TDAA our first agility title. Our eldest Cardigan is herding
instinct certified. He also was the Highest Scoring Champion of
Record at both of the 2002 National Cardigan Welsh Corgi Club of
America National Specialty Obedience Trials. Our dogs earn their
Canine Good Citizen's and One of our youngest Cardigans earned
our first AKC Puppy Star for us. We have produced five litters of
Cardigans, and in each litter - we have had pups earn Championship
points. In 2008 we got our first Bred By Exhibitor AKC Champion. We
are also proud that the 2009 CWCCA Nationals - our 3 show prospect
Cardigan babies all earned placements in large classes - at barely 6
months of age!
In 2003 we added our third breed, the Pointer, to our family. All three
of our Pointers earned their Championships within their first year of
showing. We are extremely proud that all three of our chosen breeds
have earned placements at their respective National Specialty shows
in Conformation and Obedience.
Kari is the active on in conformation while Kathy has taken over the
reins in the performance events. She has just started competing in
agility and is training several of their dogs in that venue along with
obedience. Both of these ladies work hard promoting the sport of
dogs.
For the last several years, both of us have been teaching other
people the sport of showing their dogs through our involvement with
local area clubs. This facility is a dream of Kathy's. We hope to show
dog lovers all the different activities they can enjoy with their
pampered family members. Dogs love attention from their owners
and there is a sport that can suit everyone – let us help you discover
your sport!
