    Rizzo

    PWRDOX Pink Lady MLB

    Rizzo is an 8 year old longhair miniature dachshund. She loves training of any kind, being out in nature, digging a good hole, and posing for photos. In 2023, Rizzo competed at the AKC Rally Nationals in Ohio, and attended the WCFO Freestyle Nationals in 2024. Her first true love was agility, but nowadays she mainly competes in Nosework, AKC Obedience, and Freestyle. She has also dabbled in Barn Hunt and Shed Hunt.

    Charlotte

    SAM’s Can’t Touch This

    Charlotte is a senior terrier mix. She was a 'foster fail’, and Ferris is one of 9 puppies she gave birth to when she came into rescue. She loves cuddling with her dog friends, catching mice, and eating as much pizza as she can get her paws on. We can only guess this little mama had a rough start to her life. She is extremely wary of people and prefers the company of dogs over humans, though she has gained a lot of confidence and trust in her little bubble over the years. Charlotte is a pretty anxious girly and she would rather stay home than go to dog shows, so she spends her senior years napping and patrolling her yard for critters. Despite her sensitivities, Charlotte is a very clever girl and she enjoys learning new tricks and skills, and playing nosework games at home. She is currently working toward her Intermediate Trick Dog title.

wonderdog origins

Everyday Wonderdog was born in tribute to Lady, a 10 year old dachshund adopted by Gin in 2014. Despite her age, Lady embraced the world of tricks and competition in her golden years, proving that every dog holds the potential to do something amazing! Yes, old dogs absolutely can learn new tricks. 10 years later, Gin enjoys training and competing with her current pups, Ferris, Charlotte, and Rizzo.

Everyday Wonderdog was founded in 2023 to honor the special bond shared between dogs and their humans. Whether your dog is an accomplished agility champion, or the star of their own show at home, we believe every dog is a Wonderdog!
