I have to agree with Tazbom when it comes to Blue boys face however Red boy was my first favorite. White boy is beautiful too. They all look like champions!

I have seven. I envy you!

They are all very nice looking and I am partial to the blue one for some reason. I have no "eye" for show looks or anything like that. Just a personal preference. Good luck to you next week. We are a day behind you with our pick up on Friday and I feel like I have been "nesting" for months now!!! Enjoy and I look forward to hear who you went with and seeing pictures!

Me too! I've been nesting like crazy, and have nothing left to get or do except bring the puppy home.

Here's a photo of my three options taken today. I like blue, too. He looks a LOT like his father.



This is dad:

Dana, who is your breeder?

After having Keisel at home for 5 days now - I really wish I read up on crate training and made sure everything was a positive experience than negative. I wanted to let you all know to make sure you take the time to get your puppy use to the crate before you just force him in there and shut the gate. I made the mistake in thinking he would just get use to this 'foreign' object without preparing him for it and I got a negative result (high anxiety :-( )

For all of you that are about to get your puppies soon - make sure you have a plan for crate training them or securing them in a safe area. Here is a very helpful video that on of the members posted on my other thread Shaping your dog to love his crate - Clicker Training Tutorial - YouTube
And also a few articles that you should read before he/she comes home!

I'm having to undo the negativity that Keisel has towards the crate and it's taking longer then expected so I hope this prevents any other puppies going through the same thing!!

Ridgeview Goldens in Bakersfield, California. A wonderful breeder to work with. She's marvelous.

Thank you for posting this! I'm sorry you're having to undo Keisel's negative crate feelings, but good that you are. I'm sure he and you will get through this and be awesome.
