After a long wait, we decided to look for a puppy that we were going to train for competing in agility. At the end of 2001 on December 27 Bess was born. As a puppy Bess was a very strong character. When Bess was one year old, we cautiously began to train jumps, it was obvious that she had some difficulty with it. We thought it was because of her age and decided not to rush things. After a walk along the beach, where Bess had trouble following the pace of Tommy and Buster, we decided to go to the vet for inspection. It proved she wasn’t doing well, she suffered from an acute renal failure and could not be helped. On March 16, 2003, we put her to sleep with pain in our hearts. Such a sweet young dog. We have fully enjoyed her far too short life.
