Becoming A Responsible Breeder
Teaching X-Pen Etiquette
What in the world is Puppy X-Pen Etiquette? Are we as breeders now expected to teach our puppies manners in the X-Pen? Yes, we are.

This Weekend At UKC
Bird Dogs in Canada - The UKC/HRC Upland Hunt Tests are designed to mimic realistic hunting situations as closely as possible. In keeping with the Hunting Retriever Club philosophy, “Conceived by hunters for hunters,” dogs are tested on their ability to quarter a field, flush a game bird, track a scent and retrieve a downed bird to hand. The Lake Ontario Hunting Retriever Club will host two upland hunts this weekend in Oshawa, Ontario - a great chance for anyone pursuing their Upland Hunter (UH) title. Come by and check out the fun!

The Golden Retriever was developed in late 19th century Scotland and England primarily by crossing Flat- and Wavy-coated Retrievers, Tweed Water Spaniels, and a red Setter. The Golden was bred by British aristocrats to be a dual purpose dog, able to retrieve waterfowl and upland game birds and also to be a companion. The Golden Retriever's friendly disposition, attractive appearance, and high level of trainability have made this breed one of the most popular in the United States. The Golden Retriever was recognized by the United Kennel Club in 1956. |
