Raleigh is our eldest resident as well as  my 1st Golden,who was not the family dog. He is a full English creme boy out of The lovely Outstanding sire (UK Import & Can Ch Haydene Commador "FRED").
Through this boy we became well acquainted with the English type of Golden & have made many wonderful & lasting golden friends.
Raleigh is a certified therapy dog and has his CGC.
He has sired many beautiful litters and is the Dad to our beautiful boy, Spencer and grandad to our female , Val.

Raleigh is the grandson of the very famous "Fred Sr" Eng CH Paudell Easter Plantagenet At Kerrien (sire of 8 UK Champs & many throughout the world).
We are very fortunate that our good friend Suzi Houtz brought over "Fred Jr". Can Ch Haydene
Commador OS from England, who sired a litter with a beautiful female Can Ch Trowsnest English Garden to produce out 1st breeding lines,our boy, Raleigh.
We would like to thank Suzi for teaching us so much about the European lines and introducing us to so many wonderful breeders, who share our love & appreciation for these special beings. We would like to thank this special boy FRED for bringing so many people together. He exemplifies our wonderful breed at its best.

Raleigh took a day trip to the National Specialty where his son Spencer & cousin Bentley were competing.
He is quite proud of his son Spencer who took home a 4th place ribbon from the 8 to 10 Veteran Class. However, Raleigh went to RI to visit Suzi the owner of his own late sire Fred (pictured above). Suzi  traveled to RI from MO for this show. We thank Suzi for doing such a nice job presenting our boys Bentley & Presley at The English Tea.
