Hi everyone! I am so thrilled to find a moderately active Sheltie forum!
My name is Jessi and I live in Mid Mo with 2 Shelties, 2 GSDs and a BC (along with 3 daughters and a husband). I work nights at the local hospital in the ER doing registration and insurance but during the day I am a mom and dog trainer.
About my dogs:
Jinx is a tri 4 yr old male. He recently got his RN and CD and we are showing for his first attempt at Open next weekend!
lol I dabble in Agility, Tracking and Rally and recently purchased some ducks to try our hand at herding (the ducks are just a month old so no running them around yet lol). He is also the dog in my profile picture (during a show, waiting for me to call him during the recall exercise).
Sassy is a 1 yr old blue merle. I have just started working with her in obedience (boy she is smart as a whip!). I see great things in her future (agility, herding, tracking, obedience, rally)!
My GSDs are Moxie (a 3 yr old black long coat) who just got her RN and has 1 RA leg and 2 CD legs. She'll be showing next weekend also to hopefully finish up her CD and get leg #2 on her RA. Malfoy is a white GSD rescued from the pound so not sure on his age but we guess about 5 or 6 years old. He's "just" a pet and demo dog. I don't compete with him
Breaca is my border collie and she is about 13 (another pound rescue) and is demo dog for some classes and another "just a pet" 
I belong to a few GSD boards and I don't know why I waited so long to join a sheltie board! There seems to be a lot of information that I have been questioning about shelties in general and I am soaking it in (with regards to grooming especially!). I hope I have a lot to offer in return regarding training and showing
I look forward to becoming and active member here! Thanks!
Jessi

I know! I dabble in SchH but the club is 100 miles away and with gas prices, well that is out for a while. I consider myself to be a balanced trainer. I use luring and clickers and food but I also teach and use corrections. I will look at the obed part and discussions after I get home from classes tonight
