English Golden Retrievers In France

I took 4 of my Goldens to the CACIB show at Montlucon – boy that was hard work – but lots of fun!

Dickens showed off as usual – well he always does! He recieved a 3rd Excellent. I guess I would have liked a 1st -but as David tells me – we can’t always get a 1st!!

But then The Laird went in – and he did get a 1st Excellent – so I had the chance to tell David I still got a 1st!

My Sable was next in – didn’t disapoint – another 1st Excellent – she is a bit of a show-off and hasn’t been in the ring for a while as she had puppies not too long ago. But she really did enjoy her day out.

Our new puppy Thyme had a day out as well. It’s always a pleasure to show little ones as thay don’t really know what to expect, but she didn’t disapoint – receiving a ‘Prometteur’ I was very proud of her as it was a very busy show with lots going on.

So, you have a lovely girl Golden Retriever and you want her to have a litter? There are many things you need to consider when choosing a stud dog, and some of these include:
Temperament – you need to ensure your puppies are biddable – like all Goldens should be.
Long term Health – ask the stud owner about any health issue the dog might have – no one want hereditary problems
Hip score – important consideration – but it shouldn’t stop you from using an otherwise perfect dog.

Currently we have two wonderful stud dogs

Dickens

a lovely 6 year old – father to many adorable puppies over the last 4 years

and

The Laird

who is simply stunning – in all things temperament, health and perfect AA hips with 0 elbows. He’s started his stud dog life very well with a number of litters to his name by the start of 2010.
