Wisher was a result of our first breeding of Rigel. Mary Dewey, of the famous Dryad Kennels, was in the area convalescing after chemo and liked Wisher's mother, Rigel, enough after watching her work in the water that when she learned we would be breeding Rigel, she offered to put the Dryad Kennel prefix on Rigel's first litter of puppies.  This is something that was quite an honor for us! Wisher's litter was one of the last to carry the Dryad Kennel name. With Mary's passing the kennel name has now been retired. Rigel's mother, Birdie, was co-owned by Mary Dewey.
