| Rush was born March 30, 2005, and was
bred by Locklyn Guzman (Apple Acres) and Julie Gaertner (Country Heart)
in Washington. As a puppy, Rush went to Cindy and Jay
Clapper
(CinJay) in Ohio. Rush resided most of his life and received
most of his training with CinJay handler, Carol Gefell (DarkStar) in New
York.
Rush won his Canadian Championship in two weekends and is
American pointed with limited showing in the AKC. Rush is
everything a Sheltie should be. It is very difficult to find a
fault in Rush, he meets or exceeds the standard and shows like a dream. Rush is an excellent mix of modern Apple Acres from old Pocono/Sea Isle/Banchory lines with excellent out crossing . Rush has a solid pedigree, out of 62 dogs in his 5 generation pedigree, approximately 72% are AKC & CKC Champions and 32% are ROMs. According to Sheltie Pedigree Lines website, Rush is inbred/linebred (calculated on 10 generations) 14.16% on:
