Stu's Agility and Herding Career
Stuart, or "Stu" to his friends, came to stay
with me for a short time when he was 9 to try some herding.
He had been on ducks once as a 9 month old puppy. His
first time out he went right to work and loved it!! Unfortunately
he had to go back home before we could get any titles.
During the next year he got his NA with
Jean Lavalley. I called his owner Nancy Walton and told
her that Stu deserved to be a VCX so send him back!
Stu got his OA, HTs, PTs at the age of
11 which gave him his VCX.
Stu: The Foundation to Faerie
Shelties
I fell head over heels in love with Stu while he was here,
and it broke my heart to send him home.. He is what I
think every Sheltie should be, fits our breed standard,
awesome temperament, great biddability, high drive for
all sports, but would snuggle right up on the couch and
in bed!
Stu continues passing on all his great
traits to his grand kids. I am lucky to have his Grandson
Cloud, who not only looks like his granddad but has so
many of the same great traits.
