This work of a domesticated Border Collie dog is rare & unusual work for this artist. Nettle ship studied at the Heather School of Fine Art and at the Slave School of Fine Art.

His mother was Isabella Ann, daughter of James Hog, vicar of Eddington and Master of Kettering Grammar School. Nettle ship was for some time a chorister at New College, Oxford. Afterwards he was sent to the cathedral school at Durham, where his brother Henry had preceded him.
