Pepper has show winners and more. Her daddy was Good Housekeeping pet of the year a few years ago, and her grandmother is in print and does TV spots. If you ever see a golden in the ads for the bank I use it's her grandmother. Evidently she just has that look. Almost everyone tells me she is a great looking dawg. I just think she looks like a golden.
My brother was telling me about a friend of his that has a hunting dog. He was surprised that it had webbed feet. Told him most retrievers do too for fetching in water and Goldens have webbed feet too. He had no idea.
He has ask me to NOT bring my goldens to family gatherings, AT A FARM with a nice big swimming pond. Because he doesn't like dogs. Took Camber to one of the gatherings and every time I turned around he had called her and tied her to a tree out away from everything. She didn't bother anyone and the kids LOVED playing with her. She would fetch anything that floated from the pond and followed the canoe around if you called her. In fact, all his grandkids have dogs now. They don't bring them because they are house dogs. 4 yapping Schnauzers and one Pit Bull.
