These are all incredible Goldens......each and every one. The first three are dual champions...in the show ring and in the field. #4 was an incredible field dog.

Of course......I'm with Hooch. In all seriousness, I love my dogs BEST!

Hooch....these are the (mostly) Dual Champions...with show championships, and field championships. Not many as you notice.

Push is the most recent.....and the first in 25 years. HE is what serious show/ft breeders should be working towards, IMO. (Now you've got me going on the "why can't they get along" rant again>>>>>>> :lol:)

I was looking at your posting and thought that somehow, by mistake, I had posted a photo of my dog at a competition when he was a puppy!!! I couldn't believe I was looking at a Newfie here. I clicked on things quickly and saw your Newfie connection. I am new and have a Newfoundland (no Golden anymore). I was so excited to see your beautiful Newf.

Here is a photo taken of my dog before he became mine. Our breeder had planned to keep him, but he didn't get tall enough to make champion easily. She said it would have been, "a slog". So we got our gorgeous, wonderful boy at 16 months. He had always lived in a kennel.

I come to this area of the Golden Retriever forum because my Golden, who died in 1993, is from a well-known breeder and I keep reading about pedigrees of Goldens. I plan to start a thread on her breeder, Torch Flinn, who started the Tigathoes line.

But in the meantime, here is Griffin...aka Mooncusser Red Sky at Nite.

I could agree with Kirby, since he is proven to be a producer as well as a talented all round guy (I was so excited I got to meet him and play ball with him not long before he died), and probably Aruba... simply because she was such an important producer in the breed. I think she is much prettier, actually, than several of her more famous offspring.

I would have to say Speaker too! What a hunk, and so talented! Push is certainly impressive...

So there's four...

If I chose a "personal" dog, 5th would have to be maybe Romeo, my intro to the breed Coach's Romeo Golden Bear (I think I put him on K9data years ago? I don't remember.) He was a field lines sweetheart with a true Golden temperament.

If I were to select a UK bred dog, he would be AFC Holway Barty

I am not familar with Canada but Hubby goes fishing on Eagle Lake and that is about 14 hours from us. We are thinking about getting another puppy sometime next spring or summer and I fell in love on your web site! Just wondering how far a drive we would have. We are in Illinois
