At CRUFTS 2007 Nasa made breed history by becoming the first Cattle Dog to win a Challenge Certificate in the UK. At WELKS Ch Show in 2007 Nasa became one of only three ACDs in the UK to date to be placed in a Group at a championship show. At SKC Ch Show on 18th May 2007 Nasa again made breed history when he took his 3rd and crowning CC, making him the first ever UK Champion in Australian Cattle Dogs. To make it that little bit more special he achieved this in 3 straight shows, winning all of the first 3 CCs on offer in dogs. We are very proud of our boy, he's been a real joy since the day he was born. He didn't need to prove himself to us but he went and did so anyway!!

After gaining his 5th CC at Crufts 2008 Nasa was retired from competition here in the UK. However his adventures continue over the pond in the USA. We look forward to keeping you updated with his progress over there.

NASA IN THE U.S.A.

 

On the 16th January 2009 Nasa gained his AMERICAN CHAMPION title. He gained his title in just over  a week, taking 3 Majors. He now makes history by becoming the first multi titled UK Champion.

Our congratulations & thanks to Lin and a huge thank you to handlers Charlie & Laura Coomes, without them we could not have realised our dream of breeding an American Champion.

On the 18th January 2009 Nasa takes BEST IN SPECIALTY SHOW at the first Mid Florida Cattle Dog Club Specialty Show, from an entry of 44.

Nasa is pictured above winning his 3 Majors
