Nifty

1992 – 2007

Nifty was one of the first Border Collies in agility to run with both speed and accuracy. Her smooth, efficient way of negotiating a course was often deceptively fast. Nifty was one of the greatest agility dogs of her era. She represented the USA in international competition on four different World Teams (twice for USDAA and twice for AKC). During a period in agility history when clean runs were not commonplace, Nifty demonstrated incredible consistency and was highly regarded as a “team” dog. She was a member of the USDAA National Championship Dog Agility Masters Team Tournament winning team on two occasions with multiple wins at the Regional level. She was a finalist in the USDAA Grand Prix World Championships an amazing nine times in her ten-year career. She won the USDAA Veterans Grand Prix in 2000.

Together, Nifty and Linda inspired an entire generation of agility teams. Their grace and beauty together on course will remain in the memories of all who had the pleasure to watch them on the course.
