CH Nash came to live with us when he was 16 months old. He had never been shown, and grew up on a farm in Oregon with little contact with the outside world, so it was a challenge to teach him how to show. Once he learned, though, it was worth it! Nash was owner-handled to his first 12 points. He finished with our friend Laurie Jeff Greer in only their third show together, picking up that final major August 13, 2000, two weeks before his fourth birthday. Along the way, he also picked up several Best Of Breeds, and a Best Of Opposite Sex at the Rocky Mountain German Shepherd Dog Club Specialty show on October 1, 2000. After finishing, Nash began his second career as Ashley's Juniors dog, and together they won MANY Best Juniors, including Best Junior at the 2002 GSDCA National! Ashley showed Nash in Juniors until he was 9 years old. At one of their last shows together, in January 2006, they won Best Junior in Glen Rose, TX, over a large Junior entry. It was a great ending to a career! During her Juniors career with Nash, Ashley won the Robert Hamilton award for the top GSD Junior several times. He was a great show dog, a great puppy raiser, and a great friend. Nash closed his eyes and went to sleep peacefully on June 6, 2008. He never woke up from that nap, but we are so fortunate that he never suffered and that we had him for nearly 12 years. We miss him very much!
