 Fergus joined the Knox family in 2001  Fergus with his mother Q and his grandmother Trekki in 2002     Then when Susan's husband, Chris, showed an interest in running agility Fergus began to run for him. In 2008 it was Chris that took Fergus to the Ontario Regionals and once again Fergus qualified for the Nationals!   Fergus at the AAC Nationals 2007 Fergus is well known at agility trials for his "run for anybody" happy outlook, but don't be fooled, he is a great competitor. The Knoxes say that Fergus thinks he is a person. This is reflected in the fact that at agility trials he never thought a crate was a suitable place for him to wait, not when there were perfectly good chairs there! When no one was looking Fergus would jump in a chair and settle in until it was his turn to run.
Soon everyone was saying that Fergus needed his own chair... so he got one!  Fergus in his own chair Fergus is a stealth kisser and it is a rare person who can sneak by without Fergus planting a big wet kiss on them! The Knoxes say he seemed to just instinctively know not to steal food or do mischievious things and they never had to train him not too. Fergus never lets you down. He always does his best and he is a very honest dog. He could not care less about other dogs, he only cares about pleasing HIS humans.  Fergus with his brothers, sister, mom and grandmother from left to right Zed, Tribble, Trekki (Q is behind her) Zephyr and Fergus Fergus loves agility and now has his AAC Silver Award of Merit. His love of agility is quickly followed by his love of Fisbees and he is a CDDA Champion Disc Dog. His next love is SWIMMING!!  Fergus will soon be joined by a new little gaffer. The Knoxes have decided that one of Tribble's upcoming puppies should go home with them too. That little puppy will have a great "big brother" to look up to. UPDATES:
Since Fergus was first featured here he has continued to compete and he has been doing fabulous! He placed 9th at the 2009 AAC Ontario Regional Championships, did extremely well at the Nationals and has earned his GOLD AWARD OF MERIT from the Agility Association of Canada. WOW! MORE UPDATES:
Susan Knox and Fergus are tops! HiQ Fergus is the 2009 TOP AGILITY BORDER COLLIE IN CANADA with 173 Q's, and he is also the #1 GAMBLING DOG, #3 In Challenge, and #5 in Steeplechase!!! Wow!! |

BEN
Ben recently passed away. We extend our sympathies to Ben's Family and hope you enjoy this small celebration of his life.  Our Ben would have been thirteen next month - my wife (girlfriend at the time) and I got him from you (HiQ Borders) when we were just starting university.  He lived half his life in Toronto, as one of the city's great cultured urban dogs, and an outdoorsman to boot.  He came everywhere with us in the city, acted in plays, climbed the highest mountains in eastern North America, guided us on countless mountain bike rides, and paddled all the major rivers in southern Ontario.  He was a gentle, welcoming friend to everyone. For the last seven years, we've lived in Nova Scotia on an old farmstead.  Ben loved the beach and soon the kids that came along in our lives.     He was a great mentor to all the Border collie foster dogs that have come through our house through the rescue.  We knew his time was coming - Ben enjoyed a last trip to Toronto recently to see his family and died of heart failure at home 3 days after our return (he had tumours around his heart). He was a super guy and we miss him very much. Dave R. Nova Scotia, Can. (Ben – Trekki X Boscoe) We are pleased to add that Dave and his family now have a new HiQ addition! Little Bean, Twigg's puppy recently joined their family. We hope Bean will have the same full life as Ben and continue to bring joy to her new family  "BEAN" |

Erin and Zephyr are a great team. Erin calls Zephyr her once in a lifetime dog! Zephyr is a loving dog at home and is best friends with Liam the newest addition to the family.    Erin says he makes them laugh daily, but when it comes to competing he is very honest and gives it his all! He is a very fast high drive sports dog and he has an excellent off switch both in his crate at trials and in the house. He loves everybody and is great with children.    Zephyr is red and white and is a neutered male. His parents are HiQ Omnipotent "Q" and Kyle of Lochalsh.     Zephyr also herds sheep and studies hard!   Despite Erin's busy schedule, having a baby, and being seriously injured in a car accident Erin has still somehow found the time to sneak out to some trials. Zephyr has earned the following titles RPT
DD-Disc Dog FdCH-S-Flyball Dog Champion Silver ADC-Agility Dog of Canada AGDC-Advanced Game Dog of Canada MJDC-Master Jumper Dog of Canada MSCDC-Master Steeplechase Dog of Canada JHD-Junior herding dog HTAD1-S-Herding Trial Arena Dog on sheep  Zephyr placed an amazing 2nd at the
