Talbot is not your typical flyball dog. A terrier mix (found in 1998 on "Talbot Avenue" bus route during a frigid Winnipeg winter) began his flyball career and found he loved the game. Later that spring, a viscious dog attack in his yard left him hospitalized and halted his flyball training for a year. This "little dog that could" overcame his injuries and returned to flyball.
In December 1999, Talbot began having seizures. In April 2000, the seizures became monthly. Still racing and never wanting to give up on his team, Talbot needed to find a balance between medication and diet. He has remained seizure free for over a year.
Despite overcoming adversity and ensuing health issues, Talbot continues to play and gives 100% every race. Talbot is well known and recognized throughout the region 8 flyball community. He has the determination and heart of a dog four times his size.
