MY GOLDEN RETRIEVERS - EMBER
I have been known to call her the Wretched Golden, but it is always with fondness and love .-

  Ember is my Golden Retriever. She was a gift from my first and only human teacher, Sandy Reeves. Sandy helped me learn how to be a good teacher and dog trainer. I think she is one of the best teachers out there, and her students are lucky to have her. I know she wanted the best for me and thought that having a Golden would put my talents to better use. It's not that she didn't like the Bouviers, she just thought that it took a lot to train them and that they would let me down more often than not. I cannot argue that they we have had our ups and downs but I have no complaints.    
It was because of my experience with my Bouviers that I was so successful with Ember. She presented me with quite a few challenges, that had she been my one and only dog might have been daunting.
One of the best things she taught me is that no dog comes trained. If you want to get to the top you have to work on it.
Ember is my first OTCh dog. She is also an OTCh Canadian dog, and is working on her UKC UD. She is my first competitive agility dog and has her AX. I had done a bit of field training with her and she has her WC in Canada.
