Reaching For The Stars
Meet Athill Shelties Champions & Performance Dogs

Athill is certainly proud of the well rounded Shetland Sheepdogs that we have produced and own, each; a hard working individual with a superior can-do attitude.

We invite you to meet some Athill shelties Champions and Performance stars, some of which are owned by us or who have gone above and beyond with their famillies.

Pixie is one of a kind and the foundation of our shelties here at Athill. Pixie was spayed (unintentionally) after she produced a single litter of two pups which gave us our first homebred Champion "Quest" and his lovely sister "Glitter". She was slated to be my first show dog and although she was never "trained" to be a show dog she has ended up being my favorite dog to show as she possesses such vigor and attitude in the ring.

She is a phenominal sheltie, and has accomplished a Canine Good Neighbor title, Herding Instinct Certificate, and multiple Best In Show (Altered) and Best In Specialty Show (Altered) wins. She continues to be all she can be and we cant wait to see what she takes on next!

Lets just say that the love of performance runs in the family, CH. Athill Kintara's Questar "Quest" is our multi-tasker. During his first appearance in the breed ring as a jr. puppy he acquired 2 BOB wins in one weekend, he is our first Canadian Champion and is out of our very first litter here at Athill.

Quest is a fantastic obedience dog, and is also currently training in agility. We hope to also explore tracking, herding and rally-o with our homebred tri boy later in the year.

Gabby flew through a sucessfull puppy career, completing her Canadian Championship at 10 months of age and picking up a Group 4th at 7 months of age, and 5 Puppy Group wins along the way, Gabby will soon begin obedience training and will be tested for her CGN title when the testing is offered next.


~ Pictured Below Our Third Homebred CH. Silverthaw Athill Deja Vu - "Deja" ~


Deja waited in the wings until she was a little more mature to debut her show career and it was well worth the wait. At 19 months of age Deja started her show career and earned a Canadian Championship in a single weekend of showing, with BOW wins and a BOS win along the way.


~ Pictured Below CH. Stonemills Athill Get A Grip CGN - "Rivet" ~


We were lucky enough to be able to co own Rivet with his breeder Kim of Stonemills shelties. Rivet got his first 3 points at his first show as a sr puppy and then was put away to grow up some, after a little time to mature rivet came out and picked up 8 more points, 5 of them being owner handled. He even picked up a nice BOS win as a special that weekend under Breeder Judge Mark Houston-Mc Millan owner handled and with plenty of specials competition.

Rivet is also a certified Canine Good Neighbor and has completed intermediate obedience training. Rivet will also be out to persue an American Championship and we hope to get him involved in agility as well in the coming year.

Velvet has proven her worth as a phenominal performance dog and loving compaion here at Athill, she completed her Canine Good Neighbor title and is currently training in Agility, Rally-o and Obedience.


~ Athill's Great Save Luongo CGN - "Louie" pictured Below ~

Louie earned his Canine Good Neighbor title easily one weekend while he stayed with us and his family was away on a hockey trip. He had never worked with us prior to the day of the test but is such a well rounded sheltie that it was a no-brainer for him. Way to go Louie!

~ Louie is owned and loved by Rob & Family in Thunder Bay. Louie is sired by Quest and is out of Lizzie from our 2007 litter~

We are so proud of Mc Duff and Patricia's Accomplishments, not only is Mc Duff a true "Sheepdog" and has proved he could do the job he was bred for, he is also very handsome so he tried his paw at being a show dog and entered the Thunder Bay Sheltie Club's CSSA Specialty and competed in the Altered Class, Mc Duff came home with a Best Of Opposite Sex win and a very large rosette!!! Congratulations Mc Duff!

Lizzie was one of our performance girls and produced some lovely and sssmmmmart pups for Athill. Lizzie easily earned her Canine Good Neighbor Title and is intermediate agility trained as well as rally-o and obedience trained.

She now resides with Catherine & family and lives with two other Athill shelties who are Lizzie's daughters! Each one from her two litters: Jersey (Spring 2007) & Sophie (Spring 2010).


~ Kintara's Passion And Warfare CGN - "Angus" pictured Below ~
   

Meet Angus, 15 inches of beauty and brains all rolled into one, a tireless worker & true Sheltie; Angus has what it takes to be a success. There is no doubt that our little Angus will someday become Athill's first VCX titled sheltie. Although he is always up for anything Angus's true passion is for agility, he simply lives for it and gives me his all when we step out onto that field.

In summer 2009 Angus competed in his first CKC agility trial, we had a blast and came out of the weekend with two qualifying runs with scores of 90 and 95, thus earning him two legs towards his AGN title!

That fall Angus became a certified canine good neighbour earning him his CGN title, what a good boy! Angus is also currently in training for his PCD, and will be competing in upcoming CKC rally obedience trials. He is also having alot of fun trying his paw at Canine Free Style, look out Gene Kelly, his boy has got some great moves!

Wait a minute this isnt a shetlie at all!!?? Skonsa our lovely little icelandic sheepdog earned her Herding Instinct Certificate as a young pup.

She also competed in conformation one weekend as a sr. puppy and came home with a nice Best Puppy In Group win over a large entry of herding group puppies. We hope to get her out to do her Canine Good Neighbor once she matures some.
