Hi, I've got two Golden Retrievers, though I only consider one truly mine, as she certainly "picked me".Ellie is my really active 20 month old female, and I'm training her for agility and maybe some just-for-fun-freestyle. Teddy, is more like our family dog, and he's a total couch potato but we love him.

Thanks everyone! Janine you described the pooches perfectly lol. We're in the piedmont NC area and we train at DogLogic, obedience right now but they also have agility classes we plan on taking as soon as we finish the current classes. Right now I'm just working her at home. I can tell you one thing though, since he's young, foundation, foundation, foundation! It's verrry important especially to teach nice jumping form... I stupidly skipped jumping foundation with her and I really wish I hadn't. Goldens in general just looove tucking their feet under and are typically bouncy because they're hunting dogs and this position is optimal for diving into the water. Not so much for agility.
