Against the Odds: Rhoen’s Journey from Breathless to Champion

San Diego, CA – Rhoen, a spirited border collie, was at the peak of his agility career when a sudden, unexplained struggle to breathe left him gasping for air.

Liz Randall, his owner and trainer, was devastated, but her determination to see her beloved dog thrive led them on a journey from Southern California to the University of Missouri. 

There, Dr. Carol Reinero’s team uncovered a rare lung disease. With patience, advanced care, and Rhoen’s tenacity, he defied the odds, returning to the agility ring stronger than ever.

Thanks to their expert care and Rhoen’s resilience, he made a remarkable recovery, even winning a championship in 2022. His victory was a testament to both his spirit and the life-changing care he received.
