Description

According to Bryan, he has never had a dog that wants to please him as much as Nan. She is loyal and pretty honest. When he first got her, she was very shy about people—it took his wife 6 months to be able to touch her. She is completely different with other dogs—she really loves other dogs. Nan had a good nursery year, placing 5th in the National Finals in 2022. Last year, she had a really good year, placing third at the National Finals as well as other good finishes at trials around the country.

Bryan White has been trialing and training for about 15 years with great success around the country, making every major double lift multiple times. Bryan also enjoys teaching other people with their dogs and finds it very fulfilling—he gets very excited to see folks he has helped have success. Before entering the sheepdog world, Bryan was a serious surfer and was always near the ocean. He rescued a dog that was part border collie, and someone told him it was a herding dog and that he ought to see if it had any instinct. Not having really any idea what it was all about, he had an instinct test and became intrigued. He bought his first border collie, Scoop, off the internet and was fortunate to get a good dog right from the start. He was hooked, and the rest is history… and a far cry from surfing.
