LEO's Show Record:

Shortly after turning two, Leo finished his AKC championship after only EIGHT weekends of showing from May-July 1999, going Winners Dog at least once every weekend and with two Best of Breeds from the classes over a Group-winning dog Special and a BIS-winning bitch Special. He finished in grand style at the prestigious AstroHall dog shows, winning a 4-point Major at Thursday's Specialty under noted Breeder-Judge Jeff Pepper and then another 4-pointer under the equally respected Karin Ashe on Sunday.

We brought Leo out again as a SIX YEAR OLD and he finished his Canadian championship in only FIVE WEEKENDS, again going Best of Breed twice along the way. Note his improved maturity... more body, more substance, and more backskull... Leo only gets better with age!

By golly, at age EIGHT we decided to play some obedience games with Leo and he recently completed his RALLY NOVICE obedience title! Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks!

This is LEO:

Type: Leo definitely favors his maternal grandsire "Kirby", Ch Rush Hill's Haagen Dazs. At 22 1/2", he is a smaller dog but has textbook proportions, including neck ratios! He weighs 75 lbs so is NOT lacking in substance (ample bone but not "overdone"). He grew steadily as a pup with NO pano. Good ribspring with plenty of elbow room, very nice muscling, and a truly exquisite blend of neck to shoulder. Has a classic head type, again with textbook structure - good backskull, stop, muzzle, and correctly soft expression. Medium brown eyes, black pigment, and medium size ears with thick leather. Full dentition. Scissors bite with dropped incisors. True 90 degree front assembly with complimentary rear angulation makes for effortless and balanced reach and drive on the go with a clean down and back also.

Color: Medium to medium-dark Gold (definitely not red - color is off in two of the above photos) with cream-to-white furnishings (very flashy).
Coat: VERY correct, not fluffy, soft, or silky. Mostly straight, with a few waves near the base of his tail, especially when wet. Extremely thick undercoat in winter that does NOT mat. His plentiful feathering compliments his extreme masculinity.
Personality/Temperament: Leo is a silly, happy housedog with a definite "goofy" streak!

Leo loves all creatures, and actually has his own cat! He is non-aggressive towards other dogs, male or female. VERY smart and a problem solver (has figured out how to open a number of our gates and x-pens, oh boy).

LEO as a Stud Dog
Many of Leo's best features are prepotent. Physically that includes things like his headpiece, substance, and coat. Mentally that includes his goofy personality, extremely high intelligence, and problem-solving abilities. He has sired 24 litters to date with one Canadian champion son, an AKC obedience titled daughter and...***NEWS FLASH!!! Leo has his FIRST TWO AKC champion get! We would like to congratulate the Kerns of "Showstopper" Goldens in Riverside CA on the recent spectacular wins of their littermates out of Leo... New Chs Showstopper's Homeward Bound ("Sassy") and Showstopper's Song of the South ("Remus") WELL DONE!***

Stud Service Terms and Fees
(Current as of June 2006 and subject to change)

Leo’s current stud fee is $850 US of which $250 is due at the time of the first breeding (if natural) or prior to first collection (if shipping fresh chilled semen).

The initial $250 is a non-refundable breeding fee, whether or not a pregnancy or puppies result.

I reserve the right to raise Leo’s stud fee in the future with just cause, ie; upon completing additional competitive titles, GRCA HoF, OS, etc. or having pointed/finished offspring.

For natural breedings, bitches may be shipped air cargo to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Burbank (BUR), or Ontario (ONT) or I will meet you within a reasonable (~2 hour) driving radius. Air cargo shipping expenses to and from LAX/BUR/ONT are the responsibility of the bitch’s owner(s), in addition to the stud fee. I charge no fee to drive to these three airports or to meet you (this is partly why the breeding fee is non-refundable – it covers my expenses).

I do not charge any boarding fees for bitches in for breeding up to 10 days, but board will be charged at the rate of $5/day for each day over 10.

For fresh chilled semen, in addition to the stud fee, all semen collection and shipping expenses are the responsibility of the bitch’s owner(s), and must be pre-paid prior to each collection/shipment, but I charge no transportation fee to go have Leo collected.

Three live puppies at 8 weeks of age will constitute a litter.

When three or more live pups reach 8 weeks of age the remaining $600 is due with an AKC Litter Registration Application with the bitch’s owner(s) portion completed and AKC litter registration fee attached. I will then complete, sign, photocopy, and forward the original completed application and payment to the AKC, retain one photocopy for my records, and mail one photocopy back to the bitch’s owner(s).

Should no pregnancy result, OR should three or more puppies not survive to eight weeks of age, the initial $250 breeding fee will be applied toward a repeat service at Leo’s current stud fee at the time of the repeat service. The same bitch may be presented or a substitute bitch that meets my general stud service requirements.

If the bitch’s owner(s) elect to remit the balance of the stud fee due upon the birth of three or more puppies but three or more puppies do not then survive to eight weeks of age, no refund is due. The total amount paid will be applied toward a repeat service.

If for any reason Leo is unavailable for a repeat service, any RDO stud dog may be used at that dog’s current fee and terms.

The owner(s) of the bitch will be provided with proof of Leo’s identity and copies of his health clearances to date prior to the first breeding/insemination.

The owner(s) of the bitch will acknowledge by signed contract prior to the first breeding/insemination their express understanding that Leo’s health clearances do not guarantee that he will not develop health disorders at a later date, nor that any puppies sired by him can be guaranteed to be free of disorders.

Bitches will only be considered for breeding that meet the following requirements: They must be permanently identified with either a tattoo or microchip. They must possess no AKC disqualifying faults, display no faulty temperament traits (excessive aggressiveness or shyness), have an OFA or PennHip hip dysplasia clearance, have eye and heart clearances performed by board-certified veterinary specialists, have a recent (within 30 days) negative brucella test, and are current on their rabies (within 3 years) and distemper/parvo/kennel cough vaccinations (within one year). Other health certifications MAY be required in some cases. I also require a 3-generation (minimum, 5-6 generation preferred) pedigree and a good videotape or photos of the bitch if I can not go over her in person prior to agreeing to the breeding, and a copy of the puppy sale contract you will use.

Puppies sired by Leo must be sold/placed directly into their new homes by the breeder, NOT sold to or displayed in any retail establishment such as a pet store. Puppies not placed into bona fide show homes must be placed on AKC Limited Registrations. Every reasonable attempt (interviews, home visits, etc) must be made to ensure that new pet owner(s) are suitable and prepared to own a Golden Retriever puppy before agreeing to a sale.

Are you still reading? WOW! Thank you for reviewing Leo’s description and stud service terms and fees!

It’s a lot of legal gobbledegook, I know, but necessary to keep my kennel business in order and the integrity of the Golden Retriever breed intact for the generations of dogs that may descend from Leo and your bitch. Please contact me if you have any questions or wish to present your bitch as a breeding candidate for Leo.
