Based on his more recent wins, True is currently (Febvruary, '08) ranked #5 Golden Retriever in the Nation. (2-16-08, 6:45 AM)
We were very excited to receive a Judge's Award of Merit (JAM) for placing Fourth at Westminster, beating out about 30 other Goldens in the process.
You can watch the Breed Competition on the Westminster Kennel Club site through the following link (True is the first golden close-up head on the tape, and then he appears about seven minutes in, and is running against the #1 dog in the country, "Newton". Our handler, Rindi Gaudet, is in the black slacks and gray jacket.)
Our thanks to Kathy Cudak for all the sacrifices she made along the way to get this far; and to Rindi Gaudet, who did still another fabulous job showing him under a great deal of pressure!
Of course, True is still young in comparison to the other dogs who were at the show, so we expect that he will be back again!
We wind up very pleased with the state of our breeding program, since True is the son of Dallas (bred by Candi and Dick) and a grandson from our original Houston and Brittany breeding back in year 2000. And remember that Charmer is a full-blooded younger brother of True!!!

WE'RE GOING TO WESTMINSTER !!!
