Raintree's Early Days... Raintree was established in 1971, my first breed was Great Danes. |
|
|
Pictured here is Ch. Gatsby Of Tammerlane who won and finished at the first Great Dane Club of America National Specialty in 1976. He was the most wonderful and loving dog. |

Pictured here is Ch. Erin Of Tammerlane "Erin". |
|
After successfully showing the Danes for several years I discovered my passion for the beautiful Saluki. |
|
I acquired by first Saluki from Nadine Johnson of Rising Star fame. BIS Ch. Nanna Sin Of Rising Star, pictured here, was a glamorous red grizzle dripping in coat who became my first Best In Show dog. |
|
|
Pictured here is Ch. Raintree's Tuxedo Of Rojon, a son of my first Saluki "Sin" (pictured above) shown finishing his Championship at a very young 9 months. He matured to be a Multiple Group Winner. (BIS Ch. Nanna Sin Of Rising Star x Ch. Canemdei Zunali Zeliah) |
| Then came the Greyhounds. |
|
Ch. Gaia Fox Run Reynard "Patrick" |
| Another one of my Greyhounds "Ozzy" |
| In 1976 I fell in love again... |
|
This time with the beautiful red and white puppy bred by Benta Ospal and the rest is history. |
|
|
The Whippets have taken over my life, and our now the only breed I now have. They are a constant joy. My logo was inspired by our foundation bitch "Alexis" - Ch. Sporting Fields Alexis. |
|
Pictured her is Ch.
Starline's On Ffyre "Vincent". He was a lovely dog bred by Carey and
Lori Lawrence. |
| Raintree looks forward to the future, keeping in mind the beautiful Whippet bred for form and function. We do offer Best In Show and Meet Winners standing at stud to approved bitches, and occasionally have available puppies bred for all venues. | |
