Nash is the first Sheltie I've had the pleasure of owning.  He is full of life, continually eager to please, and truly my heart dog.

Nash started his career with Conformation, where he earned his Champion status as a puppy.  He then began training in Rally Obedience, earning his Rally Master title less than 1 year after taking his first Rally lesson! in that time we also attended 2 CARO rally competitions, and he earned his CARO Rally Advanced Magna Cum Laude title as well, getting a qualifying score every time he was in the CARO Rally ring!

​

In 2025 Nash retired from Competitive Rally with the completion of his Rally Grand Champion title.  Nash now competes with my daughter in Junior Obedience, and may also finish his Companion Dog title in Competitive Obedience with her as his trainer and handler.

​

Nash also competed in conformation from the Altered class 2 times in 2025, both times taking Best in Show Altered! He just needs one more win under a 3rd judge to get his Altered Champion title.  We are planning to hit the Veteran ring soon as well!
