Nimble was the first pup born for me and under my kennel name.

He was born via c-section as a singleton and was never in a rush to do much, then suddenly, he was a burst of energy. Nimble is overly friendly but gentle and great around kiddos, socially odd with dogs, but is easily the quietest and calmest in the house and the most cuddliest one. I made a few attempts to train him on sheep over 3 years' time; however, he was far too much dog for me, a much more green handler at the time. He was fast and didn't want to particularly stop. I joked that when I 'retired' him from sheep, that he'd probably be great at flyball.

​

At the end of February, as fate would have it, we'd end up visiting with a friend during one of their flyball practices, and that was that. I started training Nimble in flyball, and he caught on very quickly. By April, he was doing full runs, and in May, he ran his first single races in U-FLI. His 2 following tournaments were very successful, and he's now running solid in a lineup. While he didn't turn out to be what I had hoped for on sheep, he sure turned into a fierce flyball dog.

​

Nimble was bilateral cryptorchid until 10 months and subsequently neutered at 3.5 years of age.
