Mystic and Chester did excellent jobs as first time pick up dogs.They had a great time and demonstrated their natural ability to hunt picking up lots of birds.

We want to say Happy 1st Birthday to Rocket, also known as "Ms White" from our 2013 Essex litter.

Rocket was the striking puppy in the litter that won our hearts over very quickly. She conformed herself with our pack very easily. Since then, she has been showing extraordinary will-to-please and trainability. We wish Rocket many more happy and healthy years with our pack and above all a lot of fun in training to become a field and hunting dog.

Today, we also think of our beloved Belana who unexpectedly passed away exactly three years ago.

Limi aka Ms Orange from our 2013 litter left us with her owner to her new home in Japan. Limi lived almost a year with us in Old Lyme, CT. We have enjoyed having the opportunity to socialize and educate her so she could become a started Golden Retriever.

We received Mystic's thyroid report from the OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals).

There was no evidence of thyroid disease recognized by the laboratory. This means Mystic's thyroid is NORMAL.
