Wow-talk about consistency in offspring! Beautiful.
One of my proudest moments!
Its funny but as I look back on this road of goldens and showing - I have two moments that stand out. The first when Bailey took a 5pt major reserve at a specialty and while there were no points - it was an awesome moment for me. (ok, i really liked the big stained glass RWB ribbon too)...
The highlight though, again, no points, was her placement with her babies in brood bitch at the National. Never thought we would place in that line up. I was crying from the moment the 3 went in the ring. There was so much pride in watching them together. Then, placing 3rd was truly awesome. Long time breeders filled that ring - and then there was me. All the time, research and effort I put into that breeding paid off. And, I am still very proud of the other 6 puppies who are doing very well and in great homes. Dang, here I go misty-eyed again! One puppy should have her WC soon, two others are just beginning their show career. The others are the best friends to some wonderful humans!

Thanks for letting me ramble and share my pride and love for these dogs!

You should be proud! That's quite the line up!
