The Golden Retriever
Dolly Moonbeam our little swimming sixties
gal
Golden
Retrievers are used successfully in field trials, hunting,
obedience, and as guide dogs for the blind. They are one of
the best family friendly dogs you can have. They are very
loyal and want to please you. Golden Retrievers are very
smart and learn tricks very easily. Our Dolly, nicknamed
Gertie Louise is a pro at handshaking, sitting, laying and
dunking her tennis ball in her water dish and pulling it out
like an apple!
Gertie was born August
27, 1999. Her fathers name is Murphy's Rule and her mothers
name is Wind Dancer's Samantha Sue. As you can see, Golden
Retrievers are given some "Royal-like names". You'd think
they were horses! We on the other hand opted for Dolly
Moonbeam. I love the sixties so I had to give her a peaceful
name with lots of love.
We bred Dolly in
August of 2001. She had 8 adorable healthy puppies. Luckily,
we were very careful when selecting her babies new families.
We asked a lot of questions and we even have photos of all
of her puppies owners. It's good to know they all went to
good families.
Unfortunately,
pregnancy and getting spade wasn't very kind to Dolly. She
has a thyroid problem and takes medication every day. She is
a whopping 102 pounds, we are trying to bring her weight
down to about 75 pounds. We aren't sure why she gained so
much weight and we really worry about her. We are hoping she
will be more active with swimming in the summer. She is
quite the swimmer!
