Rob transports Sweetie to her foster home.

Rob’s interest in animals was evident almost right from the start, growing up in a family that could never say no, when an animal needed help.  He was fortunate enough to experience, first hand, that many wonderful pets can be adopted from a shelter.

Fast forward to 2002 and Rob’s family brought home their first dog Milo, a miniature dachshund.  A love for the breed soon followed and Rob began agility training and joined Canadian Dachshund Rescue as a volunteer to help rescue dachshunds.  Layla, a miniature Chocolate Dapple Dachshund, was adopted from rescue and found her forever home.

Rob, Milo and Layla now compete in agility and also volunteer as Pet Therapy dogs at a senior’s home in their hometown of Markham, Ontario.  They have made a number of TV appearances including TVO Kids, Breakfast TV, Animal House Calls and The Surreal Gourmet. Milo is the first miniature dachshund to earn his Starters Agility and Starters Game Agility titles from the Agility Association of Canada. In November 2006, Rob and Milo were pleased to be invited to join and perform with the International Superdogs Performance Team.
