I would not sell him in a million years or for a million dollars!! He’s my friend, my family, my companion… not to mention my favorite agility wind-up toy! He pushes my bottons sometimes, but I absolutely adore him :)!

Sorry to hear you lost your pup. Finding an available adult sheltie is easy – breeders often have young adults that didn’t “turn out” for the breed ring. You could find a responsible breeder through the ASSA breeder referral . Or you can find good adult performance prospects through sheltie rescue.

Getting a dog thats already trained isn’t as easy. If someone has spent the time and money to work with the dog, chances are they are closely bonded and not likely to give the dog up. Besides, so much of agility training is about teamwork – the dog would still need to learn to work with YOU! Sometimes ambitious competitors rehome a dog that isn’t working up to their standards – getting one of those is a matter of knowing the right people and being in touch with your area agility community.
