Hi folks, my name is Jason. I live in the Pacific Northwest, and I joined this because it seems to be THE forum for people who are into Goldens.

My dog is named Chance. He is the one on my profile photo. Although he's not pedigreed (he's got a little border collie or something in him), but he is mostly Golden. My girlfriend had rescued him about 6 years in Humboldt County, California before we met. He is a major part of our family, and my two sons love him.

My girlfriend and I (and our families) have had only Golden Retrievers since we were kids, and we are pretty loyal.

I write a blog about Goldens, and I try to keep up with modern thoughts regarding breeding, health issues, and anything else I like to read about Goldens.

I'm really thankful to have somewhere to come and discuss with others about this amazing dog breed.

Welcome to the forum! This is a great place to find all kinds of Golden info. I highly recommend the search feature and the stickies in each topic.
Enjoy

Greetings and salutations from Nashville. Welcome to GRF

I've been to Portland. Great city. Reminds me a lot of Nashville, actually.

I have a cousin (who possesses a very large opinion of himself) who's supposed to be known locally in Portland. Michael Allen Harrison. New age pianist. Ever heard of him?
