As you probably know, his littermate Pete is now QAA.
So she is nowOTCH UH HRCH URO3 U-UD ADIRONDAC’S KOURA TIKI, UDX3 OM4 BN GN GO VER TDX MXB MJB XF RE MH WCX VCX CCA NAC NWI Can UD TDX WCX, MH OBHFI am delighted with her son Jury. Even if she is not the first, there wouldn't be many, and likely none with an OTCH, TDX and possibly MACH titles. I am not sure if there are any other Goldens with a retriever MH who have MHU legs, but she could possibly be the first Golden to have both.
None of the five Goldens that have a MHU have retriever MH's. She will need 6, because I started her at Master and there is a 4 test weekend on Labor Day. On Memorial Day weekend she got 3 legs on her Master Upland (Spaniel) title, bringing her total to 4. It has been a long march to that but I am finally feeling that she might actually get her MACH. She has 715 MACH points, so we are three double Q's and 35 points from her MACH. Yesterday, she got her 17th Double Q in Agility. A couple of weeks ago she qualified for the GRCA Obedience Hall of Fame by getting her 5th High in Trial. Hi, Carol,Just wanted to give you an update on Tiki. He just stands there,hips slightly swaying, until I turn to meet his gaze.The very best part of him is still working fine. He sometimes pauses, mid-walk, head lifted. His nose reading each shrub,each thicket of grass, leisurely,like whole sections of the Sunday Times. DOG WALK by Kate DwyerThe dog is old, muzzle frosted, hips narrow and unruly.Outings now are more meditation than distance traveled, more amble than cavort.There was a time for bounding.Leashes in impossible tangles.He'd gallop past, ears laid back, neck outstretched.So much energy, we'd squander it on capers measured in miles.It's all about the stopping now.He picks his way down the block, back toes dragging just a little. The photo of the two dogs is Ruger as a youngster lying next to Adirondac Rondeau CDX JH WCX who was 15+ at that time. He is just one example of the true "golden" years. He was still competing in rally obedience ten months ago and qualifying. He still has his show ring prance and thinks toys are the reason a golden is on this earth. Adirondac Reddog Ruger UD SH WCX RAE is presently just shy of 15 years of age.
