Description
Dyxie had been involved with teaching puppy and beginning obedience classes with one of the local dog clubs for over ten years. In 1994 we both caught the “retriever bug” after acquiring Scout (GMHR C &D’S Super Scout, MH WCX), our first field golden retriever. Scout was a highly motivated retriever (i.e. a whole lot of dog) and neither one of us had ever dealt with anything like him before. Thankfully, we had lots and lots of help and finally we were successful at reaching our goals of a NAHRA Grand Master Hunting Retriever, AKC Master Hunter, and GRCA Working Certificate Excellent.
Scout changed our lives by introducing us to the joys of owning, training, and loving the working retrievers. Sadly in August of 2000, he also broke our hearts. One evening we let Scout out the front door to go to the bathroom and he disappeared into the woods, chasing a deer or something and we have never seen him since. He was a wonderful dog and we still miss him.
After Scout’s loss, we searched for a replacement. We really did not want to start over with a puppy as it can take years to get one ready to run at the master level. Fortunately, Warren and Susan Exo, in Wisconsin, had a trained male golden retriever they were willing to part with. This was Beanie (Mioaks No Beans About It, MH). Beanie is a wonderful dog and we cannot thank the Exo’s enough for allowing him to come live with us.
