Alnclair Golden Retrievers

Australian Champion Alnclair Ann Ticipation

Shown very sparingly at all breeds events, Annie is usually on the pegs 
at the Specialty shows she has attended.  Annie has proven to be a wonderful mother and displays typical Alnclair temperament. Somehow Annie has managed to be one who always sleeps in our bedroom since about 2005 - bet the others are jealous. 

Annie is an absolute pleasure to live with and is proudly owned, bred and deeply loved by us both.

 

Sadly our gorgeous girl slipped away unexpectedly in the early hours of January 5th 2015, giving us quite a shock.  She was however sleeping peacefully in the home she shared with us since she was born.  Gone but never forgotten - rest in peace darling girl Miss Annie.

 

 

See Annie and Ricky above at their final championship show - Sunday 7th August 2011 - Sth Australia G.R.C. Annie was "Best Veteran in Show" and Ricky was "Best Opposite Sex Veteran in Show." A fab way to retire!

 See Annie and Ricky above on their 11th birthday - Monday 8th August 2011.

 

 

The "Terrible Twins" Ricky and Annie reunited on Tuesday 9 June 2015 - rock on you guys.  Lots of love from us both.

What some of the Judges have said about our Annie:

 

Golden Retriever Club of South Australia Inc Championship show
7 August  2011 - Mr Jim Richardson (Darrochonna Kennels - Scotland)

 

 1st in Veteran Bitch Class & BEST VETERAN IN SHOW

 

"Although only 3 present, this class caused me the most difficulty as the ages ranged from 7 to 11. I gave this one first in the Open Class when I judged at this show in 2005.  Still moving really well at 11 years.  She has the head and expression which I admire.  In good coat and condition.  A lovely type of bitch.  Kind, happy temperament."
