Rattlin' Ridge is owned by Joan St.Hiliare. My first dog was a rescue lab
named Kana, which I trained, hunted and competed in obedience. Kana received
firsts and seconds for all her legs to qualify for a CD title. I discovered my
love of dog training through this process. I became extremely interested in
upland bird and duck hunting out of college and spent most every weekend
hunting. Unfortunately, by the time Kana was 4 years old her hips were
diagnosed as being severely dysplastic. This began my education in the
importance of health clearances and choosing dogs from reputable breeders.

My second lab was the foundation to my kennel. I enjoy working my dogs in the
field and am extremely fond of upland bird hunting. It is a joy to work as a team
with a well trained dog. This is what started my interest in becoming involved in a
hunt club and competing my dogs.

In the past 25 years I have ran
AKC, NAHRA, UKC hunt tests, AKC
field trials and recently APLA hunt
tests. I have personally put
advanced titles on several of my
dogs. I enjoy the art of dog
training. Wanting to become a
better handler and have a better
understand of dogs and training, I
began soliciting the help from
professional dog trainers. Since
that time I have began training and
running my dogs in Derby and
Qaulifying stakes at AKC field
trials.
