CH Shield Crest Hurricane ("Toby")

 

Toby, pictured here at 10 and a half years of age, was born 18 March 1989, in the first litter sired by that year's ASSA WD, who went on to become CH Alfenloch Whirlwind, ROM. Toby was a slow maturer (click here to see Toby grow) who finished at four, but probably reached his prime at six or seven years of age.

Toby made his debut as a special at age nine and a half, when we brought him out for a few shows in hopes of making a younger dog jealous enough to show better. In two weekends that summer, Toby racked up six BOBs, a Group Four, and a Group One. Shown sparingly in 1999, Toby finished the year with multiple group wins and placements, ending up within the top 15 Shelties in national all-breed rankings (and #2 Sheltie in the six-state Northeast region) -- not bad for an almost-11-year-old veteran!

Toby has been a terrific dog to live with and show -- enthusiastic and happy in the show ring, sensible and easy-going at home. He carries on at Foxglove through his his daughter, Foxglove-DeVine Trendsetter, NA, PT-s, Trendy's son, CH Foxglove Chances Are (by CH Aylmere Foxglove You Bet), and her daughter, Foxglove Cafe Au Lait (by CH Grandhill Clearsky Hi Flyer). Also residing at Foxglove are the young Toby sons, Foxglove Avalon O. Henry (out of CH Foxglove Ashburton Elegy) and Foxglove Sealoch Show No Mercy (out of BPIS Can. CH Sealoch Mercy Miss Marcie).
