Connor is a big boy, and like his father, was slow to mature, but still managed to take Puppy Breed wins from the Puppy Classes.

* His Canadian Championship was completed in short order, once he entered the Open Dog Class. He completed his Canadian Championship on October 23, 1998, at 15 months of age, entirely owner handled.





* In September of 1998, Connor competed in a large class of 54 - 12 to 18 month old dogs at the Golden Retriever Club of America National Specialty in Seattle Washington, and we are proud to report he made the final cut in that very competitive class.



* In September of 1999 Connor took first in the Novice Dog Class at the Golden Retriever Club of America's National Specialty in Warwick, Rhode Island.

Connors' future plans include a bit of time out to fully mature, then he will advance into the Canadian Specials Ring, as well as beginning his pursuit of an American Championship Title.

"Connor" is a credit to the breed with abundant flowing burnished golden coat, and a beautiful handsome headpiece. He is a dog of considerable substance, weighing in at 78lbs, and standing 23.5" high, he carries ample bone. He moves cleanly both coming and going, and has good reach and drive on his side movement. He has jet black (coal) pigment, which is never fading, even in the winter months. His nails too, are black and shiny. Connor is truly a dramatic, attractive, stylish gentleman. He is always soft and eager to please, ready to give 100% whenever called upon.

His temperment is truly "golden", and he lives in equal peace with adults, children, and other animals including other intact males. His retrieving instinct is high, and his favorite passtime is to play catch with his Kong or Tennis Ball. We've not yet pursued any formal obedience or field titles at this time, but Connors attitude is definitely well suited to multi-purpose titles.

His pedigree is rich in generations of proven out-standing producers and we are pleased with the depth of substance and soundness he adds to our breeding program.
