Good Evening All,

Is there anyone out there who may have had some experience, or otherwise knows about Verdoro Kennel - Canada. We've recently lost our most precious Sam. Having not looked at his papers in...like....forever, once I started looking at his pedigree..Holy Cow!! I never concerned myself much with his pedigree. I trusted the breeder, she informed me of his impressive lineage, but we didn't get him for show or work - he was just our most special boy. From what I can see, Verdoro breeds for show and work, does anyone know if they sell companion dogs to the "average joe". It would be so great if (when the time comes) we could find a new pup that has some links to him.

Any information is greatly appreciated.

Although I have never met or had any contact with Ann Greenbank, I believe Verdoro is a very well regarded kennel. Years ago when I had my Heart-dog Dexy, I discovered his closest maternal relatives to be at Verdoro. Unfortunately, I live in Michigan, so Alberta would have been quite a haul.

As to whether she would have pet puppies, I am sure she would. Any truly well-bred Golden would be a great family dog (as long as the dog gets enough exercise), plus out of any litter, there are only a few dogs who have the potential to be a show dog, the rest go to happy pet homes.

I have met Ann a few times when she has been in California for shows. She is very nice and very knowledgeable. A huge plus is that her dogs are gorgeous Her boy Sam (who she recently lost as well) was one of those dogs that stopped me in my tracks. I would definitely contact her

Thank you for your input and advice. It is much appreciated.

I have had the good fortune to have 5 different goldens from Verdoro (Ann Greenbank). 4 of them have been companion dogs. I have known Ann for 20 years and have the utmost admiration for her breeding program. She is also a vet and understands the importance of a good breeding program. I would highly recommend any of her dogs as an addition to your family.

Thank you! I was fortunate enough to meet Ann recently. Coincidentally she was participating in a show not far from where I live. She is delightful! Very knowledgeable and her dogs are fabulous!! Thank you for your input. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things will work out.

Yes! I saw on Facebook that she was in Mass. for a show. I didn't put two and two together but I'm glad you were able to connect with her. Fingers crossed
