Acknowledgments

Enormous thanks must go to the breeders who have accepted my golden girls to their quality stud dogs over the years, because without them my kennel would not be where it is today Thanks to: Barbara Kearney-Brown – McIlroy Kennels, Gaye Nelson – Sandlewood Kennels, Trish Hinton – Casadeoro Kennels, Margaret Evans – Vanrose Kennels, Esma Russell – Rustledene Kennels, Marilyn Black- Goldriver Kennels, Also my gratitude goes to the wonderful people who have made their Golden girls and boys available to me for my kennel. Without their help it would have been so much harder. Thanks to: Anna Arrol with “Muffin” (Cambermere Cloud Dancer), Christine and James Croskery with “Paddington” (Cambermere La Traviata), Helen Young with “Zoe” (Cambermere Summa Zoe). As the number of dogs I show at one time increases I have come to rely heavily on others help with handling. A big thankyou to Kathryn Fleming for so freely offering her handling expertise. And thanks to Helen Young for helping while Kathryn and I have been in the ring.
