Well, I just put down a deposit on a puppy. So, I am expecting to have one in Spring 2014, and can now join this thread as a result! Fingers crossed. I am looking for a female that's super drivey. It's a golden retriever. Pictures posted with permission.
This is the female:
And the male:
Both of them are 50-55 pounds, 21" tall. Small for goldens, especially for a boy. Field type rather than conformation type. Most of the family have various hunting and obedience titles.
I may be just a little excited. Maybe. Haha.
