Just wondering which Goldens are in eveyones "Top 5" ?? So who are your 5 most favourite Golden Retrievers of all time? Anything Goldens conformation, field, producers etc.
These are the guys I adore- they are like hollywood celebs to me! I love field dogs like Stanley Steamer and show dogs like Kirby each in their own excellence. Stopping at five was way too hard.

Rush Hill's Haagen-Dazs (Kirby)
TNT's Stanley Steamer

Rosehill Mr. Speaker
High Times Run'n The Roost

Every Golden is a gift from God.
Tigathoe's Funky Farquar will always be the world's greatest golden, not counting my own. He was my Max's great grandfather.
I have Nona Bauer's The World of the Golden Retriever and love to look at my current boy's pedigrees throughout the book. So many wonderful beautiful goldens!
I hadn't seen this post before, I'm glad you brought it back up. I have marked the page in my Golden Book of Funky Farquar's pic. His coat looks like it's on fire with the sun hitting him. He was a beautiful dog. I have an affinity for the red males.
Maybe someone here will know the dog I'm speaking of. It's been a number of years now, but the dog was a male Golden handled by a little girl. It was a nationally televised famous Dog Show. The sight of the two of them together had the crowd cheering and the commentators remarking on them. I believe the Golden came in 2nd in Best of Show.
I don't remember his name, but he was beautiful.

Since I agree with lots of the dogs already cited, what about the field side of things? I dont know much about Stanley Steamer, but his "degrees" are amazing and he is such a good looking boy.

Well a number of my all time are mentioned previously. One I was a little surprised to see someone mention was Benjamin ( http://www.k9data.com/pedigree.asp?ID=9960 ) who if things had worked out better would have been the sire of my first litter.
Kirby and Weezer would also be there as would the following

Nice line up Hank. I adore Yogi he is a very accoplished dog. Geeze we really need a Top 25 its too hard to pick and choose LOL. Thanks for all your responses.
Here is a photo of Otis at 9 years old when he won Best of Breed at the Golden Retriever Club Of Canada's National Specialty. Again I refer to that "IT" that I spoke of in your "Tribute to Kirby" who again is Otis' sire. My wife and I were fortunate to be there when he won the BOB at the GRCC but even before that when he was in the Veteran Class I said to my wife that even at 9 years old I still saw "IT" in him. Interesting enough iif you look at my "list" all the dogs have performance titles except one and that is the one on top of my list - Otis. I myself find that odd. As for learning and keep improving my eye for the nuances I try to get my hands on as many dogs as I can so I can "feel" what others are "seeing".
Let's see. mine would be
topbrass cotton... i grew up wanting a pup out of that dog for no other reason that i liked the name. (i was young then...)
Asterlings wild blue yonder. another because i liked the name as a young girl.
Evergreens blue angel "nick" because he is ajays grandpa and justa sweetheart of a dog.
spindrifts hondo he was in our golden club at one time and from what I remembered he smiled. and i think he was a top field trial dog in the late 70's
and Gino jetoca's windward passage. well he is great show dog and the daddy of my windy too.
I would love to have one of your puppies someday also but I'd have to take my entire vacation to get there! : ) Of course, it would be worth it!
Your dogs are beautiful physically and seems like in temperment too.
A heartfelt goodbye to beautiful 12 1/2 year old show dog Nick- CH. EVERGREEN'S BLUE ANGEL NA, WC, VC, SDHF, OS, CGC- Tango's GGrampa.He belonged to Jetoca http://www.everythinggolden.com/new_page_14.htm
well there's my own 3,
then there's a champion from the Faera line that I just love, BISS CH Faera Starlight OS
then there's a 1,000,000 way tie for the 5th favorite....cuz you just gotta love ALL the goldens!
I agree with you! I have a Star daughter - she's something else. A riot to live with, so bubbly and happy. She's a stunning example of the breed as well.
