Breeding Plans & Puppies

     For the sire of Chime's litter, we  chose Rocky, Wynwoods Wild Card SH CCA 

Litter pedigree:

  Rocky is owned and bred by Renee Schulte, Wynwood Golden Retrievers, a long time breeder of performance goldens.

   We made this choice for several reasons; his field and performance abilities, his structure, and his temperament.  This young golden is progressing very quickly in his field training, easily earning his Junior and Senior Hunter.  His first two JH passes came in the fall of 2009 when he was just eight months old. He quickly finished his Junior Hunter when the hunt test season resumed early in 2010.  He went on to complete his Senior Hunter Summer 2010 with his owner/handler.  He passed his first Master Hunt test May 24, 2011!  He is training in Obedience also.
       Rocky recently completed his Certificate of Conformation Assessment under three well known breeder judges.  During the CCA, I was able to spend some time with Rocky and fell in love with his structure and temperament.  I watched him eating cookies with a four month old puppy next to his face, with not even a harsh glance at the pup.  What a fabulous temperament!           
   Rocky is maturing into a handsome, athletic golden with great attributes and future field and obedience potential.

  We also admire many of Rocky's ancestors.  His sire, Joker, AFTCH MHR Wynwood's Jokers Are Wild Am CD MNH WCX; Can CDX MH WCX (HIT winner)   was an accomplished dog in his own right, with many strengths as well as longevity and health apparent in his pedigree.  Joker sired the Gaylan's Comedy litter.  At a very young age, these pups are developing into quite an accomplished litter and can be seen at:  http://www.gaylans.com/comedy.html  
 

    Rocky's great-grand sire was Renee's famous JJ,  U-CD Can OTCH Wynwood's Jumpin' Jacks CDX JH WCX OS , who produced ten OTCH's and many great performance dogs.


     Rocky's maternal grand-sire is the famous  Canadian Triple CH OTCH FTCH AFTCH Firemark's Push Comes to Shove Am *** WCX .
We fell in love with Push when we first met him and are thrilled to be breeding to one of his descendent's offspring.


    These puppies should be birdy with good structure and type, wonderful biddability, moderate high drive with good on and off switches, and fabulous temperaments.   
These puppies should grow up to be good-looking golden retrievers that love to work.        
   Chime and Rocky both add great work ethic that will carry over into the puppies, making them versatile companions that will do well in whatever venue their owners choose to compete--agility, field, obedience, or as personal hunting dogs.

All of our pups experience the following developmental protocol:

• BioSensor exercises from 3-17 days of age
• regular socialization with people of all ages and sizes
• a physically and mentally stimulating environment appropriate to their age
• problem solving exercises, again, appropriate to their age
• socialization with dogs other than their dam
• introduction to solid food after 5 weeks of age followed by natural weaning, often not until 8 or 9 weeks
• daily walks in the woods (weather dependent)
• regular opportunities to swim (weather dependent)
• introduction to game birds

   Abbi is a moderate high drive golden who lives for action, but has a wonderful on-off switch and is easy to live with.  She learns quickly, has wonderful work ethic and is eager to please.  Her temperment is stable, friendly, and trustworthy.  Her tail never stops wagging, but she's not a silly golden.  She has very dark eyes, full dentition and a scissors bite.  Her pigment is black, with slight winter fading of the nose.  Her coat is straight, easy to maintain, and sheds water easily.  She doesn't carry a lot of coat, which makes it easy to maintain and burrs brush out easily.  Her topline is level with a slightly sloping croup.  She has a correct tail set, but has been known to carry it a little high when excited.  She has moderate bone.
  Where Abbi excels is in agility.  She lives for agility.  We play in all five venues of agility, and she loves them all.  She was in the ribbons for all her titles.  She is very fast and once her mom learned how to react quick enough to that speed, we have become a wonderful team. We had a little contact problem in the past, but we have worked through that and we finished her MX & MXJ and we are working toward her MACH.  
      She is Tom's personal upland game hunting dog and I finished her Junior Hunter in Sept 05, with her son Shiloh finishing together with his dam.  She is a powerful swimmer and has a wonderful water entry.  Check out her water entry on her webpage.
