I was introduced to my first Golden in 1968 her name was Topaz owned by a co-worker. I went to the kennel he had purchased her from, Shadywell Kennels owned by Cliff McDonald, from that point on I was hooked on the breed.

In the fall of 1969 I purchased my first Golden named Ch.Elizabeth of Aspen (Liz) she was ten months old, I began showing her soon after and also joined the Golden Retriever Club of Canada. I finished her Championship and followed that with my first litter born Mar 7th 1972.

I kept back a male puppy, and from Liz’s second litter I kept back a female who was winners female at the Westminster kennel Club 1976.

I have had many amazing experiences because of this Breed none more so than the friendships I have been lucky enough to share. It was as true then as it is now my Goldens are a way of Life for me!
