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
  • Association of Pet Dog Trainers
  • Oklahoma City Obedience Training Club
  • Siberian Husky Club of America
  • Siberian Husky Club of Greater Oklahoma City
  • Cardigan Welsh Corgi Club of America
  • Pointer Club of America
  • AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator

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. The two with CDs are also Specialty High In
Trial winners.

In 1999 we added a Cardigan Welsh Corgi to the line up and now we
have 7 in residence. Five of our Cardis have earned their AKC
Championships. Our two Champion boys also have their CD, RN and
RA titles in obedience. The 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. We have produced two litters of
Cardigans, and both litters have been successful in the show ring.

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.

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!
The Rainbow Kennel philosophy:
Structurally sound dogs that can
exceed in conformation and  
performance events.
