Title: Golden Retriever Field Lines
Post by: ian_padron on July 11, 2016, 02:52:51 PM: Hi everyone, looking for the hunting line Golden breeders on this site.

I just moved here from Wisconsin and will be adding a duck hunting and backpacking amigo to the team next spring (2017). Trying to figure out what kennels produce the best field lines in the state.

So far, I've heard that Sky River out of Eburg is tough to beat.

Thanks in advance!

Paul, Skyriver was Tiffany Taylor and Choral Greer. Just Choral doing it now I believe.

Yes Brassfire would be my first call for a field golden too.

Two things to keep in mind with Goldens. Lots of elbow dysplasia so make sure you get clearances for several generations and CANCER is very very prevalent so make sure there are lots of long lived dogs in the line.

Oh ok that rings the bell.

Jean grammar has a real nice young male I trained with last two days. Not sure his breeding but I can ask. Also her derby dog Ryder moves good.

Litter due in about three days though so prepare to see lots of photos! :chuckle:

It sounds like others have named all good breeders. I'm not sure if you are still looking, but I might have other recommendations. You might look on www.gundogbreeders.com

Post by: Happy Gilmore on August 06, 2016, 11:43:28 PM: If you are looking for more field goldens go to entry express and become familiar with the search feature on the site. You can look at trials, find a few goldens and search their event history and actually see their record and get a real good indication of their abilities. There aren't a bunch of real successful and proven goldens out there. Finding breeders with a good tract record of success in field work is even harder. It takes most years of breeding to get it right.

I drove to Wyoming and got my dog Oscar from Trievan, he will be 5 this fall and is incredible on ducks, pheasants and Geese....as well as the best hiking/ camping/ fishing partner a guy could want......Feel free to PM me for more info, always happy to brag about the dog.

Post by: JDHasty on September 07, 2016, 08:50:32 AM: My Hasty's Annie Oakley was out of Val & Jay Walker's kennel when they were in Medford. At one time there were five or six chocolate AKC FC & Canadian Field Trial Champions and four of them were out of Annie's offspring. One was out of Hasty's Elsie Smith x M&M's Cooper and two were out of Bower Lake Ben and I forget the dam on the forth one.

Their breeding programs have always been second to none.

Post by: lokidog on September 07, 2016, 09:14:25 AM: Glad to hear you found a litter to go after.

Just a note, we will likely breed Amber one last time next Spring as we were hoping to keep a pup from this last batch but decided not to since there were only four. All are going to working homes this time around and two get to go on a plane ride to UT, different owners though.
