Adele Foley Past President     I Started competing in obedience in 1974, with a Springer. Went to #4 Top Sporting Dog. Started showing Eng. Cockers in 1976. I joined forces with All Breed International Judge Eugene Phoa. I got my first Rottweiler in 1978. Ch Hallnehof's Gentleman Bayre CDX. After great success showing Bayre and his mom, we started breeding. Fate  was with us, because out very first show, with our very first litter was under Muriel Freeman. And she was more than generous with her advise and knowledge of the breed. We took RWM, BP, WF, Brace, Stud Dog, and Brood Bitch...and yes there were other dogs there...From that point on we had great success with our litters and our dogs. Bayre went on to sire some of the top dogs of the time, and his son Griffen, paved the way for a lot of top wins for other dogs. His other son...my babe... Garth, was a true working Rottweiler. He spent much of his youth as a working cattle dog, did agility, weight pull, carting, obedience, conformation, school visits, hospital visits. He also was the sire of four top Females in Canada, from four different dams. And he also proved his worth as a guard dog on a number of occasions. His granddaughter Ch Kyladie's Trylby, also went onto make her mark in the Rottweiler world, with her unprecedented number of group placings and a huge Best in Show, over 800 dogs, she was a joy to show. She also starred in a number of TV programs and made a commercial with the famous Don Cherry. As a producer, a remarkable number of her kids became champions (over 80%)..... including one litter of 6 which all obtained their championships and various obedience titles. Over the years Kyladie has obtained upwards of 45 champions with some 125 titles between them. I have also been very active in an All breed club holding various positions. Over the last few years, due to the commitment I have given my parents, I have curtailed a lot of my showing and competing activities, but still maintain an active interest in my pups and their achievements. Club History: Was instrumental in the club in the late 70's early 80's. Held a number of positions, and hosted two National Specialties. Worked on the new constitution and the new standard. Personal: British background, came to Canada in 1969. Have two daughters, one of which is very involved in the dogs and showing. Two grandsons. I am involved in the Rugby community as are most of my family. University Education, graphics education, advertising and marketing, political science, and "genetics for the everyman" courses.
