Owners: Marti Nottingham, Nottinham Shilohs, Lovettsville VA
"Willow is a 3 year old shiloh who came to us as a rescue. We had every intention of placing her with a new family but she stole our hearts the first moment we saw her. She is a sweet loveable girl, who is our gentle giant. She has severe hip dysplasia and because of this we have tried to get her into all types of activities to strengthen her hip muscles. We have always been into herding with our other shiloh, Tuck, but decided to try Willow on sheep. She fell in love and has been herding ever since. Willow obtained her JHD-s after only have a few lessons and we are now training for our 1st trial level title, HTAD1-s. Hopefully we will reach that goal in November.
This picture was taken at Keepstone Farm in Berryville, Va. It was one of our training sessions. In the photo Willow is learning to drive the sheep through the gate and into a pen. If you would like to see more pictures of Willow and the Nottingham Crew herding and to find out about the upcoming shiloh herding trial check out my website at: www.nottinghamshilohs.com. "
