This discussion made me dig out the book "The Complete Golden Retriever" by Gertrude Fischer. Before Barty, there are post war pictures of Dual Ch Stubblesdown Lass & Ftd Ch Musicmaker of Yeo & National Ftd Ch Mazurka Of Wynford and many more. On the cover Ch Finderne Gold Cloud of Kent. - this book makes ya think where we have been and where are we going?

I was going to PM you instead of posting, but see you cannot receive PMs yet. Just wanted to thank you for mentioning this book again - I think Glenda mentioned it in the past, but your post inspired me to order it. Found a new copy for under $10!

Jennifer, there was more than one edition of Gertrude's book and they are different, especially in terms of the pictures included. You might want to also check for other editions if you're gathering a library.

[Jennifer Henion]

Thanks Judy,

Guess I'll be spending another $10. Meant to order the 1974 edition, but looks like I ended up ordering the 1994.

Edit: 1984, not 1994 (thanks Judy Chute)

[Judy Chute]

Yes, that is what I wanted to post...have the older edition, 1974 ..and then received a New 2nd Edition, 1984 with obedience ring placement ribbon...has more photos etc that Judy mentions. Not sure if there is another since the '84..oooops guess there is a '94 edition..will check it, as well.

I hope it's a Clyde pup!

yes it a Clyde pup out of the Dresser's bitch. He is 15 weeks old and co own him. He is doing nice we did a short triple with him this AM ,two back to back and one off the line, about 35 yards or so. He is very focused and likes to retrieve just teaching him how to learn now and the mechanics of a mark. Like I tell Chris, between now and about 9 months old they all suck. Will know more after basics and around the water.

I will have trained with Chris for about 8 years. I have thrown for Clyde since he was a wee one of about the same age.
Hope this one is as good as Clyde.
