Joey is a impressive young male whose pedigree is an interesting blend of Canadian and American conformation lines and contains dogs who are Outstanding Producers on both sides of the border, plus bench champions who are titled in performance venues as well. When we first saw Joey he was performing with the prestigious Super Dogs team at the Calgary Stampede before an audience of hundreds of people in a large indoor stadium. After first watching him fly effortlessly over a series of intimidatingly high jumps we then got to meet him in person at intermission when the audience was allowed to flood around the dogs, petting and visiting with them. Completely unfazed by being suddenly crowded with wall-to-wall reaching hands, Joey simply rolled around on his back wagging his tail and soliciting belly rubs.

We love Joey's athletic good looks, his sound health and impeccable temperament, as well as by the fact that he reminds us so much of Dixie - this is truly a "type to type" breeding. Our goal with this pedigree combination is to produce moderate, attractive dogs with plenty of drive, intelligence, trainability, and stamina; in short, well-rounded and beautiful Golden Retrievers. We expect these puppies to have outstanding potential for obedience, agility, hunting, and tracking. This litter was not planned with the specific goal of producing breed ring or field trial prospects, although we do believe a breed ring prospect could easily be a possibility from the Dixie/Joey combination. We feel the breed ring and field trial areas each have such highly specific (and totally dissimilar) criteria that we do not encourage you to get a puppy from us if your main interest lies in either of these areas. However, if what you want is a wonderful working dog who is a pleasure to look at and to live with, this pairing should produce exceptional results.
