Gracie is our most beautiful girl. If we could clone her, Gracie would be the most perfect golden in our eyes. Her body is beautiful in every aspect. Her temperament is so gentle,confident, happy and again perfect. She is a doe-eyed, gentle, goofy girl. She has the same sweet disposition as her mother, Sophie. Gracie absolutely loves her orange squishy ball that makes all kinds of wet salvia slurps as she gums the ball. Of course it's a tag and run game since every dog wants THAT ball. I think I need a dozen of them! I've had it for years and I'm amazed that it hasn't been lost like the 50 tennis balls that have disappeared...

Grace loves to snuggle and any affection makes her melt. She has very dreamy eyes with jet black pigment. She's an excellent retriever and loves any game including drop the ball on the other side of the picket fence and chew the picket in half to get the ball! She loves chewy electrical cords, power tool cords, sump pump cord, extension cords, all unplugged. The dogs keep training me on what to put away...or else!

She got 5 points yesterday, adding up to 10 points needed for a champion title, but only 2 judges in 2 shows.
