Sunshine's Sweet Irish Cream UD U-CDX GO BN RA JH WC CCA CGC TDI "Bailey"
Bailey, my foundation girl, who taught me so much. The complete opposite of Chance in so many ways, she showed me that one size does not fit all when it comes to dog training!
Bailey is a small, agile female at 21 1/2 inches and 53 lbs with a beautiful medium gold straight correct coat that repels everything, an irresistible personality, and an intelligence and sense of humor that kept me on top of things! She loves everyone she meets in the true golden fashion and is an excellent therapy dog, easily passing the TDI test only a week after she turned 1 year. She is the daughter of OTCH High Times Wild Turkey UDX10, SH, U-UD, OGM, OBHF "Tommy" and Sunshine Token's Hot Stuff "Salsa". Tommy, his littermates, and his mother have consistently been in the Top 10 all-breed obedience dogs for the past several years, including multiple NOC wins by uncle Buoy. In 2014, Tommy himself placed fourth at the NOC in the Sporting Group. In 2015, he was in 9th place (all breed) after Day 1. Salsa's full sister, CT Sunshine Abby's Morning Ray VCD2 CDX JH OA OAJ WC was the only golden invited to the National Tracking Championship in 2010, where she qualified to earn her CT.
In 2015, Bailey was spayed and retired from motherhood. With me still struggling to finish her CD and about to go in for major surgery, I placed her with her sire's owner for the summer while I recovered. Never in a million years would I have imagined a scenario where I could give this girl up, but after a short time, it became clear that Bailey had formed an unbreakable bond with Cris and was where she was meant to be. Cris patiently started over in her obedience training, finished her CD, CDX, and GO titles, and at 9 years young, her UD. They have collected several high scores and high in trials. In addition, Cris has re-certified her as a therapy dog and they enjoy visiting several facilities together.
We miss this sweet girl, but know she is very loved and enjoying living up to her potential.

Sunshine One Toke Over the Line RN CCA CGC "Token"
Token came to us at the age of 4 years young for us to raise her puppies and to train for competition. She is 21 3/4" tall, has gorgeous structure and movement and a medium blonde, straight, correct coat. She has a true golden personality and loves everyone she meets whether it be human, dog, cat, or otherwise. It has been a joy having her in our home, as she has been the easiest dog to train I've ever met, always eager to learn new things. She is Bailey's half-sister, out of Sunshine Token's Hot Stuff and by Am CH U-GR CH Quailwoods Music Man CD RN SDHF, who was in the top twenty goldens in 2006 and 2007. She is calm, sweet, and loving in the house but has excellent drive for performance events. She passed her Canine Good Citizen test on the very first try and earned her CCA title at the 2015 Atlanta Specialty, earning three "9's" for Overall Impression from the judges. In May 2015, she attended her first obedience trial and earned her Rally Novice title in three straight trials. Token is now spayed and has been placed with a new family. In retirement, she hopes to pursue hunting with grandpa and therapy work with mom. Token's health clearances can be viewed here. Visit Token's photo gallery here.
