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, 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. Currently, Mariner has earned over 250 SDHF points. 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. At 7 1/2 he is still a strong competitor in the Breed ring, earning a JAM and Select Dog at the March 2012 Ft. Detroit GRC Specialty and Select Dog at the Louisville GRC Specialty under breeder Judge Col. Jon Chase. Mariner will continue to be selectively shown at Specialties and other events. Mariner is very athletic and enjoys competing in a variety of venues -- he is currently training in Tracking, Obedience, Rally and Agility. In 2008 Mariner completed his RN, JH and SHR titles, earning him the GRCA VC certificate. Mariner finished 2009 as a Top 10 Golden and will be working on his RAE and TD titles in 2012 in order to complete his VCX title. A dog of true versatility, Mariner took a Group 1 at the Stone City Kennel Club in October 2009 under judge Ronald Spritzer and then earned his first RA leg with a placement while waiting for Best in Show! Mariner is producing puppies with his beautiful headpiece, level topline and beautiful movement. Mariner is the sire of a US Grand Champion, 3 US Champions, a Mexican Champion, several Canadian Champions and dogs with numerous performance titles. He has a BPIS daughter, a BISS daughter with 13 points (including a major), and a Best in Sweepstakes son, and other pointed get. A number of other puppies are training in performance venues. We can't wait to see what the future holds for the lovely puppies he has produced. Mariner is truly a once in a lifetime dog who is a joy to live with -- he is a companion extraordinaire.
