Nox - living in Canada. Competing in disc, training in herding, tricks, and enjoying being a versatile companion on many adventures.

He is one of 17 OFA tested siblings (full or half) that all had passing scores, as well as both of his parents having Excellent hips, so we were all shocked that he didn't pass, but he is asymptomatic and will still live a full and happy life.
