Everybody thinks of the Golden Retriever as the gentle, sweet family dog that loves everybody & everybody loves, and they are that, but for the other competitors in Arcadia FL this week, one Golden bears more similarity to a steam roller than an oversize teddy bear.

The Golden Retriever, GCH CH Gemini Fallchase The Butler Did It, left for home with three of the four big rosettes offered this week in Florida.  The latest came under judge Sue Goldberg at the Greater Venice Florida Dog Club’s day two show.  Challenging Cody and handler Jane Myers were a Harrier from TallyHo The Time of My Live, the Siberian Husky, GCH CH Trillium Blue‘s Raising The Bar, the Australian Terrier, GCH CH Kambara‘s Zebulon, the Miniature Pinscher, GCH CH Marlex Classic Red Glare, the Standard Poodle, GCH CH Bar-None Fabulosity, and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, GCH CH Riverside Get Over It.

Cody & Jane started the week as the Number 28 Dog All Breeds.  We look for them to improve that ranking substantially.
