July 5, 2007 Striker finished his American Champion
title in West Springfield, MA handled by Pam Desrosiers!!
We are so proud of Striker and thank Julie MacKinnon
& Kathy Sneider, VMD for breeding such a fantastic
dog. A special thank you to Jeanette Gould for all
the time, TLC, grooming, long distance travelling
and connections she's made for us in handling Striker
and making the arrangements to use Pam & Mark
Desrosier to finish up his points!! Striker had a
real steak dinner on a silver platter! Bone Appetit!
We're anxiously awaiting his New Champion photo...
Striker comes from a long line of gorgeous Nautilus
Champions. His parents are Am CH Nautilus Purple Passion,
"Casanova" and Nautilus New Year's Toast,
"Margarita." Striker is very light blonde
and has a long, lush fur coat to sink your fingers
into. One of his grandmothers is English, so he's
shorter in statute but within the AKC standard. He
is our little poster boy pup with the sweetest disposition.
His whole body wags with enthusiasm as he greets us,
usually with our socks or slippers or whatever else
he can cram into his mouth! He lets the girls run
for the ball; then he takes it out of their mouth
to give to us...as if he did all the work!
We call Striker the toothfairy because his favorite
thing to do is wake up my kids in the morning with
a flying leap on the bed, nose under all the pillows
flipping them up as if searching for that dollar bill.
Then of course, it's the full body rubs, belly rubs,
ear rubs and hit the snooze alarm for just 10 more
minutes... He's our little piece of heaven.
Be sure to look for Striker in the Danbury Mint Collectibles
in 2007. He was selected to be one of the Golden Retriever
models for their collectible plates and ornaments
at the Boston show in December.
