A Long Time Ago, In a Bathtub One Morning (NOT Staged!)
"The Girls" (Sires following)
"Whisper" & "Willow - These are our twin sister goldens! They come from a wonderful lineage including close links to the well-known "Gold-Rush Kennels".
On their dad's side are many close relations in their grandparents, great grandparents, and back to dogs from some of the origin countries of the Golden Retriever - Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom
On their mom's side are direct relations to the well known "Gold-Rush Kennels" from which have come a VERY long line of wonderful goldens. The founder of Gold-Rush Kennels, R. Ann Johnson, has a book out based on her experience with goldens and her Gold-Rush Kennels - "The Golden Retriever Puppy Handbook" - see our resources page if you desire a copy.
