I have been breeding Goldens for most of my life!  As a professional dog handler for 38 years, there are many breeds of dogs that I know and love and I do appreciate most breeds of dogs!  Yet I have to say I have never bred anything else other than Goldens (oops, sorry, my first litter in 1963 was a litter of Collies!).  Golden Retrievers are the very BEST, and to this day I still love and respect them.  After achieving somewhat success in both conformation and now the "hunt test" titles, there is a renewed respect for 'form = function' and as a licensed "dog judge" I will certainly keep this in mind when I pass judgment on any dog that was bred for a purpose!

I am proud with what I have accomplished: Goldens that are free from genetic problems and are sound in mind and body and are a real joy to live with and look at!
