Nancy Walkins

Nancy has been training and competing with dogs since 1984. A native New Englander, Nancy began teaching obedience in Maine in 1987, and eventually agility, when it evolved in the early 1990s. She holds Masters Degrees in both Education and Mathematics, and recently retired from teaching high school mathematics for Loudoun County Public Schools. She owns and breeds Border Collies, and currently participates in agility, obedience, Rally, Barn Hunt, Fast CAT, and conformation. With previous dogs she has also competed in flyball and carting, and had the first female Border Collie to earn a Draft Dog title. Nancy is a Master Gardener for Loudoun County, and her hobbies include horseback riding, organic vegetable and fruit gardening, sports, and reading. She and her husband live on a 16 acre farm in Lovettsville, VA, with their three Border Collies, Katahdin sheep, and chickens.
