Rhys
Ch. Oakdale Honeyhill Headliner x Wistwin Romantic
Pedigree
I bought Rhys from Dianne Hawes as an agility prospect in 2003, during my second year of vet school. We soon realized he was going to turn out beautifully for the conformation ring as well and I was thrilled to have my first show dog. Rhys progressed quickly in agility, and has incredible drive. Rhys finished his championship at two and a half years of age in just six months of showing. He earned three majors, including a 4 point specialty major at the Triangle Shetland Sheepdog Club specialty show in the fall of 2005 under Mrs. Mona Simmons. Rhys was expertly handled by Terry Jennings of Clearsky Shelties, and I am forever grateful to Terry!! An injury has forced Rhys into retirement in agility, but he is currently in training in obedience and rally as well as pursuing K9-Nosework. He is the sire of our first homebred Champion, Stefan, who was 2nd in the American Bred class at the 2008 ASSA National Specialty show in Greeley, Co. We are thrilled to have his daughter, Encore Chivalyn's Dauntless "Tristyn" growing up at Chivalyn. Huge thanks to Ann Silverman of Encore Shetland Sheepdogs for sharing her with us! Rhys is bi-factored and white-factored. He is OFA excellent, CERF and thyroid normal, and von Willebrands negative by parentage.
