A Tribute to Anthem

The world’s greatest dog

  • I named him after one of my favorite childhood books by Ayn Rand. 

  • An AKC Shetland Sheepdog, commonly referred to as "Shelties."  I got him from a breeder in June of '98, when he was 3 months old.  He has always been very loyal to me and easy to train.

  • Dog years are about a 7:1 ratio.  So this means Anthem is currently 35.  Nearing middle age...

  • Shelties are a very intelligent breed, and are very loyal to only one person or family their whole lives. He would never be the same dog for anyone else, were I to ever give him away. (Which I wouldn't...he's family.)
