  2. Choosing A Golden Retriever Breeder & Puppy
    I wanted to add edits to my original post. It brought a flurry of comments. Some were incredibly useful, and some stirred unintentional controversy. I should have been specific in my ask: I need recommendations for breeders or breed pairings that look like a fit 1) I would like a field line...
  3. Golden Retriever Agility & Obedience
    I need help finding an Agility Breeder. I'm kind of desperate as I have had some disappointment and I have a window of time through early summer. I have tried all the "names" in dozens of successful lines without success. I am a novice, serious about sport but newer. I don't need a dog from...
  4. Golden Retriever Agility & Obedience
    I have recently been a lot more serious about training Eevee for Obedience. We’re currently in the second session of an Advanced Obedience class working on heeling and Open exercises. To give a little backstory for my question, most of the other class members went to a trial at the end of...
  5. Golden Retriever Agility & Obedience
    This is a chart I made of all the AKC 2019 obedience levels and the required exercises and points for each exercise. Ever think about maybe entering something other than Open, but similar to Open? Look on my chart and you can see what are other classes you can enter with similar requirements...

    Hi I am NEW to this forum as a member, but have followed it on occasion for several years, beginning when I came across a (sad) link to pigmentary uveitis. Loved Goldens since the 1950s! My current boy has some English on both sides & is great fun to own. Glad to be here.
  8. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Ace is coming up on 6 months and he seems to have forgotten all of his training and manners. It's killing me! We go to the park daily and do obedience training daily but it's like he's deciding to not listen to me anymore. He's amped up with more energy than usual, mouthing again(which I thought...

    I'm about 3 weeks away from bringing home my first Golden! I grew up with one but this will be my first time owning as an adult. I really want to bond with my pup and am interested in competing in obedience and agility trials. I have already looked into AKC registered training facilities and...
  14. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    I finally got around to recording a training session with 16 commands. At 9 weeks old, he was able to do basic commands but as a few people noted, I kept repeating the command. We've been working on just saying the command once. He can sit with just a verbal cue or just a signal, but he wasn't...

    We are at the early stage of training for consistency on the long stays. We have been told in class "don't stare at the dog" but I find that at the level of training we are, I need to maintain eye contact with Col in order for her to stay put for the whole 3 minutes (she broke around 2:15 during...

  19. Golden Retriever Agility & Obedience
    Can someone put these titles in order of significance for me? Also where do CDX, UD, UDX AND OTCH fit in? Which ones are considered championship titles? I am hoping to compete in obedience in the future, but am confused on how the titles progress/work. Thanks! Kylie. :)
