Hi ! It's a pleasure to join your group. I've owned golden retrievers since 1949. I was a selective breeder for 30 years...mainly to keep my line, Hawthorn Hill, going as they we're very special to me. My last litter was 12 yrs. ago....Amy's Eli was a pup from that litter. Amy's my daughter so Eli and Hunter visit their Grammy and play with my golden , Chip. Chip came to me as a rescue dog but was of my line. My special dog , Bubba, was his Daddy. I'm now involved in golden rescue but miss giving puppys a wonderful life from their whelp. Pat
