Christine and Jeff Thibodeau ~ Keisha & Jak

Christine & Jeff opened their hearts to their first dog in 1999 when moving to New Brunswick. Cyrus was certainly a challenge in his younger years; he was the mischievous little pup that was always getting into trouble. They quickly enrolled him in obedience to focus on partnership, but realized quickly that they needed to offer more for him and started inquiring about agility and soon became one of the founding members of Fundy Agility. Prior to Cyrus’s passing in 2009 he continued to travel to the events as the family mascot as his true joy came from being loved by all the people. The entire world was meant to pet him didn't you know, and with a face that cute how could you not!

Keisha otherwise known as "Princess Keisha Marie to the German Crown" was welcomed into the family upon receiving a call of a little boxer girl in need of a home. She has taught the Thibodeau's so much and the once fearful little girl now loves being the center of attention. Keisha recently achieved her ATChC and continues to trial & train. Though she loves water she will not be caught in the wind, rain or extreme sun, everything must be just so for her to make an appearance! After discussing going to the 'Dark Side' as many so nicely put it, they welcomed Jak into their home after hearing about the handsome BC being surrendered to the Mid Atlantic Border Collie Rescue in the US and the rest is history. Jak has taught the family about patience and love as this focused yet driven boy had some definite quirks to overcome. Jak had earned his ATChC & Bronze in record time and continues to compete and thoroughly enjoys playing with his mom.

The most recent addition 'Quake' arrived to the maritimes in 2010. Like his name, he has been found leaving quite the aftershock on everyone's heart with his amazing temperment, confirmation and drive. Quake has settled into the household and will hopefully follow in the footsteps of his lineage who has competed at and obtained Championship titles. When not at agility the ‘kids’ enjoys hiking, swimming, camping and just being dogs! Their favourite game is to play Frisbee and they all go crazy over Liver treats and Tuna Fudge.
