Ben was our dog that was never meant to stay. We fostered him at 8 weeks old for a local rescue, but when the time came to part with him we was unable to let him go. Ben turned out to be a lovable companion. He wasn't the easiest dog to train due to his lack of confidence.
However, when Ben was younger he dabbled in obedience and flyball previously and did do well in both activities, but like the others he concentrated on agility. It took Ben a while to get the hang of agility but soon started to show himself. He became much faster and you could see how much more confident he was. He was never the best agility dog, but as long as he loved to run we continued our agility journey. Unfortunately Ben was been diagnosed as having chronic arthritis so sadly has had to be retired but he made the occasional appearance in anysize.
Ben attended a few companion dog shows when younger and he came back with the odd rosette, but he doesn’t show himself very well as he got slightly worried without the other dogs with him, as he did rely on them - they give him his confidence.
Sadly we lost Ben late December 2025 just shy of his 18th birthday! What a life he had, he went on so many adventures and celebrated so many milestones.
