| Oakshire Golden Retrievers |
| We specialize in champion English type Golden Retrievers, bred for mental and physical soundness, and type. First and foremost they are our beloved pets, but we actively compete in conformation shows. We are members of the Golden Retriever Club of America, and believe in, and follow their code of ethics. Our interest is continuing, and bettering the breed by producing sound, typical dogs following both Kennel Club and AKC breed standards. We campaign our dogs and bitches conformation shows, for UCI International titles with the International All Breed Canine Association, and are some of the only breeders in the US that compete with our type in AKC shows as well. We also work with two handlers in Canada to gain Canadian show titles. Although the AKC does not as often recognize the paler shade Goldens, with perseverance, quality dogs, and mentors who have been extremely influential in the breed, we hope to begin to change things here... The English type Golden Retriever has the optimal temperament for responsible people wanting to own a dog, whether for companionship, conformation showing, obedience, hunting, agility, and just to be a member of the family. "In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog." -Edward Haagland |
