WooHoo! Great Grannie (and G.G. Grannie) is proud! Lacy's been knocking at the door and I'm glad to hear she was able to trot right through it and win a big one!
Ya done good, ladies,

Sal Gelardi taught me years ago that it makes no difference--each dog marked the bird and should be scored the same. A good lesson learned and I use it to this day. My favorite stake to judge has...

Smoke'N Red Apache*** was all of 48 lbs soaking wet. He placed in a major stake or two, but was sold during our divorce. I think the picture of him on the golden k9 data site makes him look big. ...

WOOHOO!!! Gordy. Not bad for a older fella--I think he's 94--but he could be younger!

We certainly were lucky--there we were right in the middle of "all that wonderful golden history" and didn't even know it! I shoulda taken notes....and pictures!
So glad you've been talking about...

I finally had time to sit down and read this whole thread--what a nice history of some of our foundation goldens. Does anybody remember FC Sir Arthur (besides me, I mean)? Ray Sommers trained him...

The first Derby I ever ran about a gazillion years ago, had a delayed triple as the last series. The judges were Les Lowenthal and Paul Corona. The only reason I remember them is it was one heck of...

The very first Derby I ever ran was at the San Jose club umteen years ago. Paul Corona and Les Lowenthal were the judges--told you it was a long time ago. In the last series, they threw a delayed...

It's been in the low to mid 20's for the past week here on the "Sunny Central Coast" of California. It's warming all the way up to the high 40's and low 50's......but we have sunshine!

Prayers for your grandson and family from California.

Oh Arleen--prayers being sent. I once lost Nell for all of an hour and I was in total panic mode. I can't even imagine what Gale or you are going through. Keep strong.

WOW! Congratulations Medie and to your super pups, too! You have a right to be proud!

Excellent pictures! I quite like snakes--except for the venomous ones. Had my very own boa once upon a time and my son "snake sat" for his friend who had a nice king. I've been known to stop my...

Many years ago Nancy Lawry and I were able, with the help of a military officer who owned goldens, to obtain Fort Ord as grounds for the Sagehen's trial. It was a beautiful place with some really...

Snicker, snicker. Unfortunately some of those "songs" are beginning to sound terribly familiar these days.

I'm so sorry about your Pixie. I know you have many happy memories to help you through this time. I hate cancer.

I do have a picture of Flirt when she was a little snippet. She was wearing a pale yellow bandana with our office logo/name on it: Blackhorse Real Estate (gotta get a plug in there). She's peering...

Becky--I thought that was you I saw leaving the therapist's office the other day...heehee. I have one of those curly girls, too. I did an outcross breeding about 7 years ago and when I took the...

Ah the age old argument over breed vs field. Back in the early '60s we had a golden about which everyone asked "Is that an Irish Setter?" Mind you, we lived in WI at the time where goldens were...

I have a "Farm Weight" Ford F150 with a 4 hole Ainley box w/a small water reservoir, storage area, plus a battery box, and have no trouble hauling the dogs, and a bunch of equipment. My training...

A BIG Pom Poms up For Judy & Trek. Congrats!
