Texas is one of the original "wee wee" girls. When India wants attention she makes a "wee wee" sound, as does her sire "Disney", so when we had three puppy girls all at the same time we dubbed them India's Wee Wee Girls...India had many adventures with her girls including weekly mud spa visits!

Texas comes to us from an amazing friend and mentor Ellen McKenna of MA, Ellen has been in goldens for many years and has a small and select breeding program. I got to know Ellen as she owns Webster's littermate "Emma" and we would email back and forth on occasions charting their conformation progress and discussing pedigrees etc. Emma was very successful early on in the puppy classes of the conformation ring when Webster was nothing more than an ugly little spider monkey :) . Ellen and I kept in touch throughout Webster's campaign to his championship and we developed a long distance friendship.

Emma decided after her successful puppy career that she really didn't like the show ring and therefore Ellen made the choice to retire her to the whelping box. When Ellen told me she had bred Emma and she was having just one solo puppy we got to thinking that it might be fun to co-own the puppy together and see what happened with her. Texas was a singleton however at a few days old Ellen put her with another friends litter to grow up with until she was 8 weeks old the litter were just 2 days older than she was, boy was that a great success and when Texas was 8 weeks old I flew up to MA to pick her up and bring her back to FL.

 

Texas has an old pedigree and goes back to many of our breed greats, she has been much slower to mature than most of today's goldens but I think she will be worth the wait! During her growing up phase we have worked her in obedience and rally and she has her CGC as well as two legs towards her Rally novice title, we plan to finish her rally title soon. Texas is scheduled to go to a pro-field trainer and handler in the Spring to chase birds and pursue her Junior Hunting title to begin with...who knows what this active little girl could do. I predict she will be the first "Circus" girl to hold a Versatility Certificate from the GRCA!!

Texas has a sweet expression and a strong headpiece with correct ear placement, she is a somewhat longer bodied bitch with a tail straight off her back. Her movement is smooth and balanced and she has an elegant outline. Her coat is thick and plush and very water repellent as is correct for the breed standard.

Texas has her heart and eyes cleared she got an OFA good on hips and elbows are normal.

Texas was bred and is co-owned by Ellen McKenna of Compassrose Goldens
