Welcome to Prism Golden Retrievers
News
Goodbye winter!!! I never did get to the mud photos, but maybe we will have a wet spring and the dogs will get more Spa Prism days yet.
Bess, now looking at 13 and 9 months, is happy, healthy and very active. She had accidentally taken a leap last fall, and had retinal bleeding. We were worried she'd lose sight, but she has just had her 6 month checkup from that and her sight is intact. She does still have a couple of small retinal scars from that most likely and the typical old age cataracts, but we are off the quarterly checks now. Hooray!
Jake and Gypsy are both in their forever homes, we see Gypsy much more we than we see Jake, who is a sheepdog for a living. I think he may herd an occasional goat as well. Gypsy's learning agility with her fella (Ace Russell), and we are completely and totally thrilled that she is newly qualified for GRCA's Outstanding Dam award. To our minds, this is the greatest achievement of them all! Her new name: SHR Prism's Journey to Dustrax, CD RE JH WC CCA VC OD!!!
Hudson guards the castle, he is such a lovely dog and we SO appreciate all the breeders who have included him in their breeding programs. He's produced OFA Excellents and titled and major pointed kids already, and he is the best companion ever. All the teenagers who come over to hang out love him- the girls like to brush his hair and the boys think he's studly and one of them (ha!). He was awarded GRCA's Versatility Certificate in the fall, so he too has a new longer name: CH Prism's Night Moves, RN WC VC.
Lyla got her Versatility Certificate as well- new name CH Prism's She Knows How to Move U, RN JH VC. She's proofing long sits and downs right now, that and doing lots of swimming and dock sitting with me. She's a happy girl when she gets to hit the water. I think if she were a human she would be a surfer chick.

Litters
We are tentatively planning a fall breeding - if that timetable suits you and you are interested in what we produce, please inquire.
We usually have a list of folks waiting for our versatile and beautiful puppies, and
getting on a list early -whether with us or with another breeder- allows you and the breeder to get to know each other and feel comfortable with your choice of what will be a lifelong relationship.

Rachel's Solo MVP Contender
We are dedicated to producing quality Golden Retrievers, with an emphasis on temperament, health, and correct structure.
We are very proud of our small and successful breeding program.
Our dogs all have OFA hip and elbow clearances, current eye clearances (CERF) and cardiac clearances done by
a veterinary cardiologist. We follow the GRCA Code of Ethics and we have also invested in the future of DNA testing (along with standard clearances) by having our breeding dogs tested for prcd/PRA and ichthyosis. As simple recessives, those can be eliminated if breeding stock is tested.
We offer stud service to select bitches.
It is always our intent to improve on what we have, and to offer to the future a better dog, keeping in mind the breed standard as well as the breed purpose.

Edward and Chumley
We are located near Chattanooga, TN, and are personally active in several areas of dog sport.
Our Junior Show days in the ring are over, as Maxie has aged out - but we still teach classes to wonderful young handlers, and are proud that we have been able to have a positive influence on so many kids.
We believe a balanced Golden has titles on each end of his/her name, and we also believe a Golden has an innate need to do a job. To that end, we send all of our dogs to a wonderful field trainer in Georgia to do the field titling and we do obedience and tracking ourselves. Maxie shows our dogs in conformation, and we are proud of our versatile and beautiful dogs.
Big news on Edward's front and big thanks to Clint and Karen Livingston, Ed also got an addition to his name: CH Prism's Hear It In the Deep Heart's Core RN, finishing with a 4 pt major. And that VC isn't far behind- we just have to start on the field! These three, Hudson, Lyla and Edward, are the three who qualified Gypsy for Outstanding Dam. They all came from the same breeding, two different litters, to CH Tangleloft The Heat is On, OS (Hooch), owned by Lindsay MacDowell. Ed lives with Maxie at UGA, and is an athletic boy who has tons to offer to our breed. He's her constant companion and loved by all who meet him. Ed is very athletic and he does a lot of jogging with Maxie.
Trace lacks one Junior Hunter qualifying test, which we will work towards earning this summer. She's got one of the most natural and perfect heels, and is great with finger pointing directions, so maybe agility will get a try at this house (I'm just so uncoordinated myself!). She's a sweet, sweet dog who is only occasionally naughty.
And then, last but not least, stinkpot red-headed Molly Bloom- she's such a doll! And pretty much naughty all the time. Being with her is like being with a bratty kid in the park who does such bad stuff, but is so cute doing it you find yourself smiling when you ought to be angry. She has a great heel too, and is growing into the most lovely young girl with wonderful movement, structure, she's AKC pointed now and is going to be one of our all around , do it all dogs.
