Blossom is a very loving, attentive and compassionate
therapy dog to a little girl, Chloe, with special
needs. She lives nearby and visits often. Instead
of retrieving birds, she'll bring back the ball to
Chloe and drop it at her feet and just wait for the
next toss. Chloe loves to give her full body hugs
which makes for a comfty pillow. Blossom gets to go
running & hiking with the parents Denise &
Kyle. She has made a wonderful addition to their family.
We really enjoy sharing our dogs in boarding homes
so we can work on training the next generation. Blossom
certainly has a higher purpose being near Chloe. Blossom
and Striker finally had a litter after 2 years of
trying. We have kept their daughter, Stella. She is
so laid back and doesn't care how you hold her. Stella
was crate trained in 2 nights without any accidents
and is already doing clicker training at 8 weeks.
June 2006 Blossom just finished her last leg for
her Junior Hunt title! She completed her training
in Maine with June & Stephen Cawood at Maranatha
Kennels in Buxton. She did an excellent job and really
enjoys swimming, water and birds!! The Old Port was
such a tease with all those fat pigeons when we used
to go for walks in the shopping district. Blossom
also loves Agility and playing games.
Blossom began her field training with Kim & Corey
Trafton of Frye
Mountain Retrievers.in May 2005. She just had
her first hunt test in Long Island, New York and qualified
for her 1st leg towards her Junior Hunt title. Then,
she got into a mess of ground hornets and had a slight
set back...She got her 2nd leg in New Jersey with
a difficult water retrieve. Blossom completed a third
leg in the Long Island, NY hunt tests in October but
came into heat the next day. The Trafton's have moved
permanently to Georgia.
Blossom is a daughter of Lady
and Can. CH Lissany HyVals Promises Time, “Boomer”.
Blossom is a peaches & cream light Golden and
will go to Canada for Conformation shows as well.
She has a calmer disposition than her sister, Kylee
JH who is the Alpha female. Blossom's favorite
place to sleep is on the foot of the bed with my youngest
kids. Her other full sister is Can
CH Sophie and half sisters to Molly (Amber x Boomer)
and Lola (Lady x Am CH Casanova - Striker's father).
Blossom was also featured in the Golden Retriever
Club of America's (GRCA) special issue for Brood Bitches
and Stud Dogs along with our other titled dogs (Mar/Apr
2006, pg 46-47). She hasn't had a litter the past
3 heat cycles, so we hope October '06 will be her
planned litter.
