American Shetland Sheepdog Association National Specialty Best of Breed Winners
The first National Specialty Show was held in 1933, in conjunction with the Morris and Essex show. Since then a National Specialty show has been designated or held independantly every year.
The list below shows the National Specialty Best of Breed winner for each year since the first National. If a Ch title is shown in parentheses, the dog in question had not yet finished at the time of the National win. I will be adding links (gradually) to individual dogs on this list, starting with the ROM dogs who already have pages on this site and with skeleton pages (no photos) on the others.
