Six years ago, our first golden retriever, Rundle was born (Rundle <3). Rundle is a fantastic companion and therapy dog. It is because of her that we have completely fallen in love with the golden breed.
Back in January 2020, we “began the search” to add another member to our family. I put this in quotations because there wasn’t much searching to be done at all. Zaniri had been on my radar for years by this point. She has bred some of the most amazingly talented dogs! As an avid hiker, and wannabe dog sport competitor, I knew that we would be in very good hands with Zaniri. So, I reached out to her about her Fall 2020 pairings. I knew I wanted a puppy later in the year for a couple reasons: 1) It would give us more time to grieve the loss of our 16-year-old cat who had just passed in December, and 2) by the time the puppy starts hitting its high-energy stage it will be summer-time – it is a lot easier to get outside to expend energy in 25 Celcius/77 Fahrenheit, versus -25 Celcius/-13 Fahrenheit.
Thankfully, Zaniri thought we would be an excellent home for one of her competition puppies! So, we began the wait. She had two litters planned for the fall. But, based on what we were looking for, she thought the Lucy x Red litter: Pedigree: Lucy x Red would produce the best results for us. Thankfully, the pairing took and produced ELEVEN beautiful puppies: five girls and six boys, born November 8, 2020.
At 7 weeks, they tested the litter and picked Kasie for us, the grey-collared girl. She is described as a moderate energy and temperament, people-oriented and structurally sound. She is everything that we were looking for in a puppy!
We picked her up the morning of the 29th and drove 13.5 hours to bring her home. She was an absolute dream on the car ride home; only whining when she had to go to the bathroom. Since arriving at home, she’s been such an easy, cuddly puppy. Woke up 2x last night to go potty, but quickly settled afterwards. She is getting on so well with our dog Rundle. It is SO great to see them happily playing together, already.
She will be CKC registered as Zaniri’s Together We Climb. Her call name is Summit. I will be starting agility with her in Feb, but I’m also am interested in Obedience, Field and Scent Work. I am so excited to see what we can accomplish together!
