The Stoneledge Gang headed off to their 1st photo shoot on SAT Oct 4th.
for Little Bear Inc., NY, NY. Productions which was done on location at the lovely Cushing Residence on Ocean Ave in Newport. We were very flattered to be called upon by the extremely well known & highly respected photographer, Bruce Weber who was doing this photo shoot for Abercrombie & Fitch & requested 6 of our Goldens be present as models. This week was our boy Presley's turn to shine. We are also proud of Bentley, Spencer, & our girls Trixie, Coco, & puppy Stella, who also did very well.

We expect Buttercup to be arriving here at Stoneledge (in Dartmouth) by the beginning of Nov and she is due in season by mid Nov. This should produce puppies who are cream to light blonde with beautiful heads, correct conformation, & lovely dispositions. Litter pedigree is predominantly English.
