Her Role in the NAID Preservation Project
Raindancer was more than a breeding dog—she was, and is, the spiritual backbone of our program. She helped define the values we live by: trust, presence, discernment, and devotion. Her puppies carry not only her DNA but her soulprint.
She shaped our mission, taught us how to lead with intuition, and reminded us that true leadership starts with listening. Every major decision in our program—from puppy placement to preservation strategy—has been guided by her steadying presence.
Through her, we learned that the true NAID is not defined by hype or fiction—but by its lived behavior, ancestral grounding, and purposeful connection to people.
A Matriarch’s Retirement — Staying Home, Always
Unlike most breeding dogs who eventually transition to retirement homes, Raindancer’s path is different. She began her journey with us—and she will end it with us. Her place is beside us, as it always has been. Her bond with our family, and her central role in the NAIDPP, made it clear that no other place could be more right.
Message of Gratitude: Raindancer, you have given the world over three dozen puppies. That means over three dozen families have been blessed by your gifts. And when we consider what our ancestors teach—that every thought, every action ripples out into the universe forty times—the impact of your contribution becomes nearly immeasurable. The healing, the joy, the transformation you’ve inspired… it echoes far beyond what we can see. Yakoke, Rainy Girl. We love you beyond words.
