Ummm, yeah....     My wife's been looking at a lot of potential suitors.  We did find out that she is a carrier for the icthyosis gene so that reduces the potential mates a bit.

One of the most successful goldens in Field Trial history resides here. John and Janice Gunn. Great folks.

Both know me pretty well let them know I sent you.

That's interesting Happy.  Our golden, Loki, was Boomer's daughter.

with all of the important titles being "IN FRONT" of the name on the pedigree, Boomer got a lot of attention. Janice runs high level of obedience and agility stuff with all Johns field trial dogs.

Well it looks like we've lined up a boyfriend for Amber.  Mulligan out of Semper Retrievers in Portland.  What a beautiful and talented dog (and great pedigree!)  I've also had fun putting together a website for Amber.  In case anyone is interested:

Now we wait for her to go into heat...hopefully sometime in late Jan/early Feb.

Here's a photo from when we met Mulligan (Amber on the left, Mulligan on the right)

And breeding took place this week...so hopefully we are looking at puppies on April 8th.  Can't wait to post photos!  I sure hope some will find their way to working homes...

And... it's time for an ultrasound tomorrow to see how many are in there.  She's put on 3.3 pounds on her 43.4 pound normal weight.  She had a little while where she wasn't eating very well, upset stomach?  But now she is back to her meals.  Hope there are a few in there any ways.
