Since his natural mother decided that maternal duties were not in her repertoire, Foster was raised by Ronnie, who very generously took him in with her six boys and gave him a great start on life. We owe a debt of gratitude to Anita Cameron and Kristen Francis, who came to the rescue by providing a foster family for this boy!
On his return home at the ripe old age of nine weeks, Foster decided that Sue's agility equipment looked like fun, and promptly climbed the dog walk, tried to back up across the top and fell off! Undeterred, he climbed back up again and found out that, if he waited a bit, he'd get a treat, and he was hooked! He now takes classes and seems to be maintaining his enthusiasm for the sport, achieving his CPE Level 1 Standard in back-to-back trials.
In the meantime, Foster has also done well in the show ring. He finished his Canadian championship in consecutive shows, and won both of his classes (regular and sweepstakes) under respected breeder judges John Burgess "Brecon" and Willys Treanor "Byendebrok" at the Potomac Specialty in April, 2005. He also impressed British breeder-judge Sheila Burgess "Shallianne" at the Ontario/Quebec Specialty in May, where his lovely movement and sound structure garnered him Winners Dog, Best of Winners and Best of Opposite !!
We had a great deal of fun and a good measure of success with Foster both in the showring and in agility; unfortunately, he developed health problems living with the open bitches at home, and we were ultimately forced into the difficult decision to neuter him. He is now living happily with a wonderful couple in New Brunswick.
