Training for the WC May 2008

 

Mariner is one of those boys who just exemplifies what a Golden Retriever should be.   He has an exceptionally beautiful headpiece often recognized and complimented by judges -- a broad forehead that is masculine, yet soft,  fabulous black pigment, gorgeous expressive dark eyes, beautiful earset, full dentition with a scissors bite, all topped off with a great personality and huge smile.

A 5th generation SDHF and BISS winner, we are proud that Mariner is carrying on the tradition of excellence in his pedigree.  At only 2 1/2, Mariner achieved more than we ever dreamed -- Best in Show Winner, Multiple Group Winner, Best in Specialty Show and GRCA Show Dog Hall of Fame.  At the end of 2007, at only 3 years of age, Mariner has earned 76 SDHF points. 

Mariner will continue to be selectively Specialed in 2008 as well as working on performance titles.

Mariner's lush, straight medium gold coat with blonde furnishings is a dream to groom.   He is a moderate dog standing 23.5 inches and a rock hard 72 pounds.  He has a solid topline with proper tail carriage straight off his back, and is well-balanced with clean movement and a beautiful sidegait that enables him to effortlessly float around the ring.   Best of all, this boy has a very showy attitude and ring presence.

Mariner is very athletic and is a powerful water retriever -- he is currently training with Kim Trafton at TurtleCreek Sporting Dogs.  Mariner is exhibiting excellent marking ability and is very strong in water retrieves.  Watch for Mariner and Kim in the field in 2008 working on his WC/WCX and JH.  In addition to field work, Kim and Mariner are training in obedience and rally.

Mariner is reproducing his beautiful type and headpiece in his puppies, as well as his sweet temperament, trainability and showiness.  Thank you to the breeders who have chosen to use Mariner in their breeding program -- we're looking forward to seeing your kids in the ring this year!

Mariner is truly a once in a lifetime dog who is a joy to live with -- he is a companion extraordinaire.
