OUR GOLDENS ARE OUR PETS. We are, Ray & Jodi and we have seven of them living with us, six females,  Honey, Dusty, Jiffy, Peaches, Diamond and Buttercup and one male, Zeus. Our Daughter and Son-in-law, Mike & Amanda, have two females, Caidee Mae and Trinity and one male, Colt,  living with them. Zeus, born 01/04 he comes from near St Louis, Missouri and is described by two vets and a groomer/handler as an Excellent Standard, this may not sound like a compliment at first, but it means he meets every Golden requirement. He is full boned, broad chest and head, great golden color, flags and the best tail, I have ever seen. He also wears the famous golden smile. Honey, born 10/04, is from Asheville, North Carolina, with championship bloodlines, lighter coloring, great flags and tail with a slender leggy build. Caidee Mae, born 12/04, is the daughter of Zeus and Layla and is the absolute epitome of a Golden Retriever.  She is an obedient, smart, and loving, Red Gold with a stocky build and Great, can I say it again, Great Golden temperament. Dusty and Trinity, born 08/05, come from Bowerston, Ohio and hail from English Whites with five grand champions in their father's bloodline within the last seven generations. Dusty is a red Golden and is as calm and sweet as they come... She stole my Husband's heart from the very first moment. Trinity is a medium gold with red overtones. Jiffy, born 03/06 comes from near Coshocton and also has championship bloodlines … Peaches, born 11/06 is from Farmington, Missouri. She is a petite, very light Golden with peach accents in her coat. Her parents carry championship bloodlines and both received Top Championship Status in C.K.C. Shows, as well as holding Championships in A.K.C.  events. Mike & Amanda have a male, Colt, born 01/07; he comes from Shamokin, Pennsylvania, has championship bloodlines from both his parents and is a big, Gold male with a great build, coat, flags and temperament. We kept two females from the litter between Honey and Jake to add to our mommy list, Buttercup and Diamond.
