Toby was purchased by Fred Kampo , Oshkosh, Wisconsin, from Carl Ruffalo as a three year old. His sire was Carl's Hall of Fame retriever FC-AFC E-Lynn's Super Strike Lucky.

Toby was a big handsome black dog who was known by most field trialers as the dog with no tail. Toby had his tail docked due to an injury that would not heal, but this did not impede his performance at field trials.

Fred Kampo and Charles Hays became co-owners of Toby. Toby qualified for seven National Amateurs, competing in six, and qualified for four National Opens. He competed in two which was capped off by the win in 1988 when handled by Charles. Twhile handled by Fred. Toby was consistent running hard and straight. Proof of his consistency was that he had wins in all-age stakes with nine different handlers in the U.S. and three in Canada.

Toby was a valued house pet, particularly when he resided in Wisconsin with the Kampos.
