I've spent more weekends at Marymoor Park and Edmonds off-leash beach than at dog shows in recent years, but I've bred and owned Goldens titled in conformation, field and obedience in the past twenty years, including Best in Sweeps, Specialty Best of Breed, Best in Show and High in Trial wins. I am licensed by AKC to judge Golden Retrievers, and have judged specialties in the United States, Canada and Indonesia.

Pictured above is Meg, who we lost to hemangiosarcoma before her 7th birthday. Hopefully genetic research and DNA testing will provide answers in the not too distant future. Pictured at left is Am/Can Ch Medallion All Decked Out "Allie," who finished with three majors amateur-handled, and multiple specialty class wins including Sweeps and the Regular 9-12 classes at the St. Louis National. I hope to show several of her offspring this year.
