Hmmmmm this will require some research! But one that immediately comes to mind is Zoom
BIS/BISS Can./Am. Ch. Klaasem's Zoom Zoom Zoom Can. SDHF, Can./Am. OS (3/8/2003-) who for such a young man has accomplished much. He is said to be a moderate dog and although I haven't seen him in person I have heard the this alot. He has produced some beautiful babies of a variety of types and has been bred to a variety of bitches. Out of these litters has come BIS and BISS offspring as well as babies with numerous titles at the other end of their names! Zoom has also recently become an outstanding sire - in both Canada and the US !! He is in my opinion a beautiful valuable asset to many breeding programs! - including mine some day!

Zoom is Razz's Daddy and we're hoping to add to Zoom's successful "kids".

 

My current top 5 - in no particular order.

CH Nitro's Boy Wonder TDI, CGC - Outstanding dog, met him in person multiple times, solid producer.
CH Yukon's Turn The Page - Have liked him since I saw him in 2004 - very flashy, handsome boy.
CH Sunkota's Phorgone Conclusion OS - The grandfather to my boy Eclipse and another solid producer, really puts his stamp on puppies.
CH Faera's Starlight OS - Have one of his daughters and multiple grandkids. Love their temperament and personalities, fun, bubbly dogs.
CH Evergreen's Mountain Sunset OS - Father to my boy Eclipse, met some of his kids at the National, wish I could meet him!

 

My current top 5 - in no particular order.
CH Faera's Starlight OS - Have one of his daughters and multiple grandkids. Love their temperament and personalities, fun, bubbly dogs.

Faera's Starlight is another dog that decends from Am Ch Asterling's Buster Keaton OS "Ace." Mary Burke got it right with Ace's litter. Ace sired a lot of nice dogs who, in turn, produced nice offspring. Here's a portrait of of Ace that I found on k9data.com while I was researching my puppy's pedigree (my puppy's sire, Am Ch Delmarva Tell'M U R Innocent "Jesse," also decends from Ace via Faera Goldens).

 

Nice line ups guys. Peeps add more I said 5 LOL. Thanks this has been interesting.

 

From what I have seen in the rings I would have to say that
Klaasem's Zoom Zoom Zoom, Seeing the movement and head pieces on his kids you couldn't miss them at this years National. I was contemplating breeding one of my girls to him.

Summit's Mr Bojangles- Almost everything he produces has great movement and temperament. He himself is a wonderful boy. I have spent a few weekends with him and find it hard not to like the old man.

Highmark Mirasol Once a Knight- His movement and temperament put him at the top of my list. Not too many dogs that have proven themselves as he has.

Pebwin XPDNC- From the few kids of his that I have seen, structure is really exceptional. I had one of his daughters staying here for a couple months, what a wonderful girl with the nicest front and shortest loin I have felt on a golden.

Dewmist Davenport- While English in "style" I love the structure on his pups. While they might be quite wild, I had a grandson of his who was the sweetest boy you'll ever meet. Also look at what he has produced in the joint area a lot of "excellents" wouldn't it be nice if there were more dogs producing like this!
(These would be the dogs on the North American Continent top 5 for me)



I wanted to say Eirene's Soul Provider but I just saw that he passed away.

 

Now how about that !

Pebwin XPDNC is Gilmours Grandma

His Mom is

Pebwin Conbrio Oahu Pardina

Summit's Mr Bojangles
Highmark Mirasol Once a Knight
Pebwin XPDNC

I wanted to say Eirene's Soul Provider but I just saw that he passed away.

 

I'm still giving this some thought... one of my top 5 recently passed away too.

I hadn't heard that Tommy passed, but then went and looked on k9data and saw it was just today (and his birthday). Sad.... RIP Tom.

BJ

 

The great thing about science is he will probably be having pups for many years yet

 

Not a top five list in general, but five whose puppies I actively want to live with as a nonexpert with crushes on a few dogs.

Well, what I greedily want for myself is a Yogi puppy- Highmark Mirasol Once A Knight. I love Fisher, Reason, Finnegan,Keyser and the nonshow dogs like Kramer etc. I like the all aroundness,moderation, heads, intelligence,and soundness of the pups.

I have a lot of faith that Stoney will be a contender as he finishes his MH this year and joins the club of CH/ MH. AM CH BISS Springcreek Everlore All Time Hi WCX,SH,CD,RN,VCX,CGC, and some other alphabet soup I cant remember off hand. I will always have an eye out for a Stoney puppy. He hasnt had much time for girlfriends yet since he is earning all these advanced degrees and is only 4 years old, so it's obviously too early to put him on this list for studs, but I do would want a puppy of his from the right CH girl with nice bone.

Sunkota's Phorgone Conclusion- The stamp Phlyer was able to put on Fenway, even though he has a field bred mother(A Firemark's Push comes To Shove daughter)amazes me. I love the head, bone, and mischievious, playful,happy personality. Fenway passed his CGC today at 8 months, and is so intelligent with an excellent front and long neck, great rear angles too. Looking through Phlyer's kids and grandkids is like a who's who in dogs! Since there's a Phlyer pup asleep on my foot right now who epitomizes golden personality, he has to be on my personal list. Miles, Truman, and Traeloch's Maggie come to mind. . .

FC AFC OTCH FTCH AFTCH Can MOTCH TNT's Stanley Steamer UDX, WCX , MH, OBHF, FDHF, OS is an OS sire whose performance abilities in areas of interest to me exceed wildest dreams. This is a great stud for obedience/performance goldens:http://www.k9data.com/pedigree.asp?ID=75137

I do think a few of the Nautilus boys are gorgeous in the opposite way from Yogi- over-the-top lush and luxurious pups with love, love, lovey dovey, joyous, radiant personalities.

Klaasem's Zoom Zoom Zoom and his Maine brother Hubbs(Klaasem'sHubba Hubba Hubba) need no comment.

He hasnt had much time for girlfriends yet since he is earning all these advanced degrees and is only 4 years old, so it's obviously too early to put him on this list for studs, but I do would want a puppy of his from the right CH girl with nice bone.

I would also love a Stoney pup! Pat Quinn has been a wonderful help to me with my pup, and I just have so much respect for her.

These lists are fascinating! There are some beautiful boys in the mix, for sure.

 

Gret job so far. Anyone else?

 

Dont have a top 5 but do love this dog..... Im learning about breeding and showing.
U-CDX AKC & INT CH HILLSIDE SMITH-N-WESSON CDX RAE TDX WC VCX (SDHF)
"Wesson" of hillside goldens

 

Ash, I think I know two who would be on yours, but I'd love to see your five or ten-in order!

 

Now I am curious Jill. What were your guesses???

 

Faera's Starlight- flat out one of my all time faves.

 

One of my fave's that I met this weekend, he is gorgeous:

Flag - Am.Can.U-GR Ch. Malagold's Wave To The Flag BISS

Another fave that I recently had the opportunity to meet (maybe I am biased since I own his daughter):

Mariner - BIS BISS SHR CH Shor'Line Jetoca High Seas Adventure JH, RN, VC, SDHF, CGC

Coach - BISS Am Ch Happy Hr Highmark Bad News Bears SH SDHF

Yogi - Am./Can. CH OTCH Highmark Mirasol Once A Knight VCD3 UDX3 TDX JH MX MXJ WC VCX OS SDHF OBHF

 

One of my fave's that I met this weekend, he is gorgeous:

Flag - Am.Can.U-GR Ch. Malagold's Wave To The Flag BISS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cEinW3o5Pg

Is this Malagold's Wave To The FLAG?

 

Well, this is looking good! I will give it some thought and try to order them.

 

Well, I don't really follow this much, but one of my favorites would have to be Lycinian's AM CH Big Bang:

http://www.k9data.com/pedigree.asp?ID=39023

After all, he's Gilmours pop

And I can tell already he is going to look very close to his Pop

 

Beautiful dogs!

 

Okay ...
I love Andy - Am/Can CH Chuckanut Party Favour O Novel SDHF OS -
I admit I am biased but I can vouch for one of his babies being the dog..or bitch rather of my dreams!!!

I really like Seger - Am. Can. Ch. Yukon's Turn The Page I also plan on adding some Seger to my lines in the future.

I like Cutter - Am./Can. Ch. Sunjoie 'n Woodland Anyway U Slice It CanSDHF -I have recently seen some video and new pics - WOWSERS. Ho is a gorgeous boy and I like what I see him passing on to his babies!!!

I need to also add Devin - Am/Can CH Elysian's Urbun Legend TD - who hasn't had alot of babies but is producing very well and is worth keeping an eye on.

:rockon:

I am biased here...he sired my litter and therefore my "Piper". I like him and I love how my puppies turned out. He is even more gorgeous in "person".

I'm impressed with how much bone Piper has.

Here they are getting a little too wild and therefore getting a correction from mom.

Well, if my puppy buying habits are any indicator, Sunfire's XX Muleteam Borax is my all-time favorite. I've gotten a grandson, then a son (frozen), and this weekend I'm picking up another grandson who's essentially a line breeding of Borax.

Part of it was luck of the draw and part of it is the attitude, working ability, conformation, and good looks of all the dog's I've met that have him in their lines.

 

My top 5 for today anyways would be:

Summits Mr Bojangles - One of greatest producers IMO, all round gorgeous dog, Kali's grandsire.
Highmark Mirasol Once A Night - Party's grandsire, love how versatile he is and how successful he was, nice producer, healthy boy.
Legacy's Standing Ovation - I love soooo many of his babies.
Hytree's Ryd-N-Out The Storm - Has been very successful lately as have his babies. He seems to give them some great assets.
Klaasems Zoom Zoom Zoom - Seems to stamp his babies with the "Zoom thing". Kids are also doing well in many diffrent venues.

There are several but this is for right now

 

I love Speaker too, if you want to include working dogs

 

Here are a few of my current favorite stud dogs. I have left off all titles due to the fact they are all so very titled I know I will miss some.
And not in any particular order


Hillock's Double Trouble II - Met Echo at the Eastern Regional in Pittsburg back in '03. Saw him and his owner standing off to the side. I had to go over and inquire abot him. When I realized I knew his sire and how well I thought his pedigree would work with mine I started the ball rolling. At this time he had not yet been shown in the conformation ring.

Seeshaw Dylan's Evening Blaze - My first "draw to Dylan was his pedigree. I loved his sire and his dam's side goes back to a lotof dogs in my Keeper's pedigree. I have met a few of his get and like what I have seen.

Highmark Mirasol Once A Knight - Yogi first caught my eye back at the National in Rhode Island in '99. I probably would have inquired about him for my Keeper but feel in love with another while there and ended up breeding to him instead.

Snowshoe's Girl Crazy - Have admired Presley from a far for years. Like his pedigree have met some of his get nd was again impressed. What a thrill while at the National this year when I actually got to see him in the fur. I happened to over hear this couple talking to someone about their boy, Presley. Well being "shy" of course I walked over and asked if he was "THE" Presley.

And a boy who is still very young but appears to be producing real well and owned by a forum member is
Deauxquest Hard Day's Knight - another dog I admired from a far. Loved his pedigree and accomplishments (all owner handled) and got the chance to get a daughter of his. Well as most of you know I am head over heels in LOVE with this girl. My only fear is I won't be able to do HER justice. And trust me you will over the next few years be hearing from more and mre of his offspring.

 

This is an interesting thread. Many people are listing what must be just their arbitrarily favorite dogs because within the lists of each person there are types and pedigrees all over the map! If you based a breeding program including the dogs listed you'd have a big mishmash of dogs
I can admire but not "list" dogs I don't have any personal experience with or experience with their puppies. I also don't have a lot of use for a stud dog with no performance titles in his background. To that end I of course love Yogi, but it's HIS sire Strider who is the more influential stud dog. Of course I am a huge fan of the Highmark side of things, while they don't have a lot of performance in the pedigree, the proof is in the pudding with Yogi and Coach. I saw Coach's sire Beast at the National in Florida, just playing ball with his owner, and absolutely loved his look and drive. Coach is being bred to Fisher's neice so I'm very interested to see what is produced. I've been very impressed with Coach kids I've seen, both type & structure and working ability.
On the flip side you cannot deny the influence of Expo (Elysian's SkiHi Dubl Exposure). Everyone thinks Fisher looks like Yogi but it's Expo, his great grandpa, he most resembles. Expo is prominent in many good performance pedigrees. In breedings to Expo grand-daughters Fisher has produced some awesome little working pups (and more on the way
Of course this is all musings on my part, I don't have bitches and don't breed!

 

My favorites:

Summits Mr Bojangles

Klassems Zoom Zoom Zoom

Daybreak Varsity Jump

Faera's Starlight

Of course I am prejudiced for dogs that my boys both come from!

 

Is Star still alive http://passionforgold.homestead.com/Star.html?

 

Ok, ok. I'll choose one more.

Airbud

 

This fellow is owned by the lady my parents use for pet boarding. I've met him a few times and he really is stunning in person. I know absolutely nothing about his breeding, but I think he's very pretty--and sweet too.

His breeder told me every single puppy in his litter looked this good, and this dog is the reason she got into conformation shows, because he just lights up when he enters the ring.

I didn't mean to "list" the dogs just to share who you admire just by seeing them and their babies. Its hard to have personal experience with all of them and their get. Can't wait to hear more.

 

I just edited my origional "list" to add more detail. Sorry!

 

Hi everyone...reading this thread with great interest! I was just wondering if all, or most anyway are dogs from the East coast? Wondering if any of you have favorites bred and handled from someone on the West Coast? Just curious......
