ACQUIRING A GOLDEN RETRIEVER
Information about Golden Retrievers and about
participation in events for Golden Retrievers, including Conformation
Shows, Obedience Trials, Rally Trials, Agility Trials, and
Field Trials, can be obtained from members
of the Golden Retriever Club of Greater Toledo and from the
web site of the Golden Retriever
Club of America. Events are sponsored by the American
Kennel Club, the United
Kennel Club, the Canadian
Kennel Club, individual dogs club including GRCGT, and
many independent dog organizations.
Every person considering the acquisition of
a Golden Retriever should carefully review the excellent and
very informative article provided by the Golden Retriever
Club of America, reproduced here.
For information specifically about breeding
practices and puppies, a list of GRCGT members who sometimes
breed Golden Retrievers has been compiled (see below; click
here to view the list). Please
note that presence on this list does not imply any endorsement,
recommendation, evaluation, or approval by the Club, or any
statement of quality or potential of any puppies that are
now available or may become available in the future.
Every person should use the GRCA
guidelines in selecting a puppy or adult dog, with special
attention to hip, elbow, cardiac, and eye test results for
the parents.
Rescue services (see below) are an excellent
source of a Golden Retriever who is in need of rescue but
who is likely to become, in an appropriate home, a great houshold
companion.

Harlow, owned by Don Weiler and Jwm Shipman, has now
been accepted into the GRCA Hall of Fame!
"The ADHF was created to recognize those Golden Retrievers
who display superior achievement in
the sport of dog agility." Harlow's picture appeared in
the latest issue of the "Golden Retriever
News" along with the following text:
TIPTOP'S HONEY HARLOW MX, MXJ, ADHF
Sire: Tiptop Hot Shot
Dam: Woodwalk Sugarbush Express
Whelped: January 8, 2001 Breeders: Gary & Crystal Tipton
Owners: Donald Weiler and Jym Shipman, Toledo, Ohio
"Harlow" was not Donald and Jym's first Golden, but
she was their first performance dog. Donald took Harlow to a
puppy class to do some early training. The instructors said
they had an agility class starting. It sounded like fun, so
Donald enrolled. Then the adventure started. Novice A Harlow
and Donald made many mistakes, but their
trainer, Denise Tarby, kept pointing them in the right direction.
They would not be here without her encouragement and friendship.
Theirfirst agility trials were bewildering, but other exhibitors
were always willing to help and they made so many good friends.
Along the way they have learned so much, and it is a thrill
to work and grow asa team. Best of all, Harlow has always remained
a great family dog.
