As a 14 year old junior handler, Colleen helped rank Baker in the Top Ten in 2006. Appropriately, his Mom, Karen, finished the job with the Best of Breed wins pictured at top of page.
Baker retired from the breed ring in December 2006 and went on to earn his first Rally O title in 2007 as well as his first water title. In 2008 he earned multiple agility titles and his Working Water Dog title. At the 20010 PWDCA National he was awarded the Bronze Register of Merit and at the 2011 National the Silver Register of Merit. Baker is now retired and romping the beaches of Cape Cod.
