This one I’m especially sentimental about.

Pilot, out of our Sharlie x Beau Geste litter, who was once owned by Tom Reardon and now is owned by Tom’s nephew, Shawn. Pilot has had a little training, but it’s been inconsistent and started and stopped. Ron never gave up on Pilot and hired Eric Fryer to train Pilot.

Well, Pilot got his HRC Started Title last weekend and is running this weekend for his Senior Hunter Title.

To see Sharlie still having offspring out there earning titles is so heartwarming. Pilot was one of only three in his litter. The other two are Cinco and Scarlet, who both have had a lot of success.

It was such good timing to open up our Hunting Retriever Magazine and see that Sharlie is tied for the number one Golden Retriever with the most titled offspring, historically, in the HRC. I don’t know how long she has been number one, but I know it’s been quite a while. I know she won’t be number one forever, but I’ll embrace this for a long time.

She had three litters and sadly her last litter produced only three pups. With 13 of her offspring holding these HRC titles, this reminds me that we have such dedicated puppy buyers and we are so thankful for them.

As I sit on the floor with her petting her I know my time is limited with her. She is now 15 years, seven months. Hug your dog today.

Tiki earned her HR title over the weekend at the Contenda Creek Hunting Retriever Club in Kinston, NC.
Tiki is from our Mia and Rugby litter and is owned by Kenneth and Shannon Rose. She was handled by Kenneth.
Way to go, Tiki.

Congrats to Carter Norrie on Rip's HRCH Title. This boy is on fire!

Rip is out of our Patsy and Stanley Steamer litter.

​ The big guy added a prefix to his name too. He’s now “HRCH Turbo Let ‘Er Rip MH”. Rip came out hot this year going 6/6 to get his MH and ending up going 7/8 in Masters and 7/8 in finished tests in a 9 week span. He has turned into a great marker and always aims to please. The only thing bigger than his size is his personality!
