The ANNIE AND CANUCK pups
are bred to be strong field and performance dogs as well as wonderful
family companions. There should be coat colors ranging from medium to dark gold, with either flat or slightly wavy coats. Both Annie and Canuck have
easy to clean field coats which make maintenance easy for hunters and
outdoor enthusiasts alike.
ANNIE is
a hard hunting dog in the field, leaving no brush unturned in the
pursuit of birds. She will hunt and retrieve all day, and when she is
done she is a sweet family house pet. Annie is also a competitive
obedience dog. Doug gives Annie the greatest compliment of all when he
says she is “just like her mother” when hunting pheasants. Annie’s dam
is our Lucy, who is one of the greatest gun dogs we have ever owned!
Annie shares Lucy’s incredible drive in the field. She is 55 pounds and dark gold in color.
ANNIE’s sire, FC AFC Topbrass Band On The Run FDHF, is one of the top competitive field trial dogs in the country. (Photo on the Reference Goldens page.) Band’s sire, FC AFC OTCH Topbrass Ascending Elijah OS FDHF,
is one of the most winning golden retrievers in golden retriever
history, and was the first golden retriever to earn both an FC and an
OTCH. More important than all of the exceptional titles those dogs have
earned is the fact that they both are family house pets too!
Puppies from previous Annie litters have been successful hunters, hunt test competitors, SAR certified dogs, therapy dogs and wonderful family companions. These are truly all-around goldens with tons of talent plus the classic golden retriever temperament.
CANUCK is
a strong hunter and great retriever who possesses incredible speed and agility.He is also a competitive obedience trial dog. His pedigree is loaded with talent, and he more than
lives up to our expectations. CANUCK’s
pedigree represents a genetic powerhouse of great field golden
retrievers including FC AFC OTCH FTCH AFTCH Can MOTCH TNT's Stanley Steamer UDX WCX MH OBHF FDHF OS,

PUPPY PRICE IS $1800. All puppies are sold with limited registration.
Limited registration means that the puppy is registered but no litters
produced by that dog are eligible for registration. This AKC procedure
helps to protect established breeding programs. *** If the puppy buyer
completes full health clearances, the breeder will change the limited
registration to full. In that event, our breeding contract will apply. A
$300 non-refundable deposit is required to hold a puppy. Puppies are generally ready to go to their new homes at 7-8 weeks of age.
