from golden handlers:
Lisa:
Hi - My Golden Retriever is pregnant. And dad is my gorgeous Jack Russell. Never
thought it could happen, probably when my Retriever was lying down having a
snooze!! What will the puppies look like? Has anyone else had this happen with a photo they
could send me on?
Pat comments: Dad's friends probably put him up to it.
The puppies will probably grow up to look something like
Lizzie, a labrador terrier cross. She's around
17inches tall and a little whiskery round the face.

Symons:
Very quick to learn and easy to control, but likes to play with other dogs but is
slowly growing out of playing and enjoys agility training. We are entered for a
competition in November 2007.
Pat comments:
Good luck Geoff. You really must join our
forum and let us know how you get on.
Maryann:
Anybody who is really keen to climb the agility ladder may not want a goldie as
they are very fond of making their handlers look like fools (especially if there is
a crowd watching). They like to jazz things up when they are bored, but, if you want
a lovely, soft, FUN dog get a goldie

(Old English Sheepdog/Golden retriever cross)
Even though he is difficult to train it makes it
worthwhile as when he is going
well he's as fast as a collie. I would go for a cross breed any
time over a collie.

Here's one of
Isobel's Goldens and I think she's lovely,. |
Isobel
Crawford:
Dogs within this breed are completely different,
no two Goldens are the same, so
subsequently I have been successful enough in training one of my
Goldens to possibly start competing soon in agility, while with the other
one is not bothered at all unless you wave a treat in front of her.
My Goldie has a half collie-half goldie brain, which is why I
think she is not bad
at agility compared to her sister who is totally Golden-laid
back and doesn't show
an interest in anything strenuous unless its on her terms.
I'm thinking about entering our first show at the end of May but I'll see how
she goes in April first.

Lovely to look at; lovely to train; lovely to live with. Have
owned them since 1985; wouldn't have anything else.
