Thank you to all my clients for allowing me the opportunity to show their dogs in 2007/2008 - 

We are looking forward to another exciting show year in 2009 with old and new friends/clients, though we will be attending mostly local shows for the year.  

For over 20 years I have enjoyed and had the opportunity to handle some wonderful dogs to their championships, multiple Best in Shows and Specialties and multiple Best Puppy in Shows and Specialties.  I would like to take this time to thank all the owners that have entrusted me with their dogs  and have given me the chance and opportunity to show them.  I look forward to more fun in 2006 with some old acquaintances as well as new ones.  Though my preference is specializing in showing Golden Retrievers I have handled other breeds as well.  (Labradors, Beagles, Bernese Mountain Dog, Cairn Terriers)

I usually only carry three to four dogs at one time so I am able to give each dog lots of individual  attention and time spent with them.  I also prefer to carry fewer dogs so that I am able to personally show each dog myself and spend more time on getting  them ready for the show ring, this also allows me to be able to get to know each dog on a personal level as each dog has it's own requirements on how it is shown and cared for.  

The dogs are in expens as much as possible verses crates and I hand exercise all the dogs throughout the day outside rather than leaving them in expens to exercise themselves.  If staying at a hotel all dogs are brought back with me and will stay in the van or room, they will not be left alone overnight in the show building.  

You will find a copy of my handling agreement at this link -  Handling Contract

If you would like further information on shows that I will be attending please feel free to contact me at pacificgold@shaw.ca
