and Team Fenner and judge Bud DiDonato! Not only did Fred pick up his
second major this weekend at KC of Palm Springs handled by Larry Fenner,
but Miss Mickie (handled by Laurie Fenner) won her 2nd major also finishing

a very special year.
WoooHoooo!
Way to start 2013! At the prestigious Kennel Club Of Palm Springs, our
handsome Fred, aka Masters Top Hat N Tails, picked up his first major
1/5/2013 handled by Team Fenner's able assistant, Aaron.
A quick 3 day run-away to Ferndale summer of 2012, and 3 WD for 3 more
points to minor out our Fred!
Happy
4th of July! Even the Goldens got into the Patriotic spirit. Shown here
is Ebba Charlotte (Horsfall) in her best bonnet.
What
a way to start off a puppy career! Fred, aka Masters Top Hat N Tails
(from Eliza and Rolex's litter), in 17 shows entered in the 6-9 month
puppy dog class, he has been awarded 16 1st places, 4 Reserve Winners
Dog wins, and 5 Winners Dog wins (for 1 championship point each) and
4 Best of Winners wins. Can't wait to see what happens over the next
3 months!
And,
not to be left out, Miss Mickie (Masters Futura Emm Eye Cee, from Samantha
and Jett's litter) started her career on an equally exciting note. Shown
8 times to date in the 6 to 9 month puppy bitch class, she has been
awarded 8 first place wins, 2 Reserve Winners Bitch wins, and 3 Winners
Bitch wins (at 1 championship point each).
Michi
can now add a TDX to her list of titles! Huge congrats to Mary Ann on
this terrific accomplishiment on such a young dog!
Congratulations to Mary Ann Graziano and Michi (Masters Hoot Do Ya Think
Ya R) successes! Michi hit the show ring, and hit it hard! Her first
weekend out at 6 months of age, she won Reserve Winners Bitch, Best
Puppy and a Puppy Group 1. Michi finished out 2010 winning 2 points
at the San Mateo Egg Nog Circuit. Kicking off 2011 with a bang, Michi
won back to back at the Golden Gate Kennel Club, handled by Jennifer.
She picked up 4 more points towards her championship, and won a Best
Of Opposite Sex over champions of record. A few weeks later, Michi was
tested for Tracking, and PASSED her first attempt! So, she now sports
a TD title behind her name.
Woo Hoo!!! Hearty Congratulations go out to Star and Suzanne, Musicur
and FiveStar Goldens, and Laurie Fenner, BlackNGold Kennels, who's Tag
daughter BlackNGold's Fashionista (aka "Posh") won 2 points towards
her Championship at the Shoreline DFA of Orange County show 12/10/10.
Posh has several BOSS wins as a puppy, so it is no surprise that she
joins several other siblings in winning the points. This brings Tag's
pointed get to 10....in just the first few litters he has sired. Watch
for Tag to earn the GRCA Outstanding Sire designation soon.
Our
adorable 'Tally' finished her AKC Championship the following day, at
the Los Encinos Kennel Club, by going Best of Winners for her second
major win, and 'Tally' is now known as Champion Masters Talladega Nights.
Heart felt gratitude to Elizabeth Jordan Nelson for her superb presentation
of 'Miss Tally'.
Also
on this day, Tag's son 'Kobe', aka BlackNGold History In The Making,
won WD for a major, so is now very close to finishing his Championship.
Congratulations to Linda Fagrell, 'Kobe's' 2-legged mom and Laurie Fenner,
Kobe's breeder.
What a way to end 2010. During the shows leading up to the prestigious
Eukanuba Cup in Long Beach, CA, Tag's offspring represented him well.
At the Kennel Club of Beverly Hills, Tag's son 24KT Wood Rivers BibbityBobbity
Boo, bred by Judi Voss and Jane Jensen, and owned by Kathie and Ray
Knittle, was the first of the litter to finish his AKC Championship
by going Winners Dog for his second major. Congratulations to all!

Great
weekend in Ventura! Tally won Best Of Winners Saturday, picking up her
first major which leaves her with needing only one major (3 points)
to finish her AKC Championship. She placed 4th the other two days, so
was in the ribbons all weekend. Thank you Elizabeth Nelson for her superb
presentation of our Tally.
Henley
finished his Rally Novice title and then his Rally Advanced title in
6 straight shows May 2010. A huge thank you to Billy Anderson for his
expert training and handling of our Henley. Watch for news of Henley's
future obedience escapades.
Monte (Ch Masters Foxfire About Time) celebrated his 13th birthday in
style...lots of new stuffed toys, special cookies, and a new bone (as
if he needed more, he's so spoiled!).
Masters Move Like Wizzard, RN is home with Luke and Laura from his hunting
training with Lakota Retrievers in TX. Laura writes that they are entered
in his first Hunting Test the end of April 2010. Laura, Luke and Ozzie
continue in the multi-purpose vein with hitting the St Louis GRC Specialty
this month, too. Go Team!
Ozzie's sister, Tommi (Masters Futura Move Aside Boys) hit the ring,
too, but she had way too much fun to win big time. Oh well, dog shows
should always be fun, so we consdier that a big win, too.
Congratulations to Judi Voss and Jane Jensen on the exciting wins on
the puppies sired by our "Tag" and out of their girl, "Mindy". Magic
(pictured) has recently picked up his first major win, and has been
regularly in the ribbons. Not to be left out, his brother "Boo", has
also picked up his first major win, to be neck and neck with Magic for
the single points.
Chloe,
Masters Futura Go For Th'Gold, is now sitting on 7 points and 1 major,
and she's not even 2 years old yet! Chloe, owned by Ainah Lee and Jennifer,
is shown here winning her major in Palm Springs. This was the second
weekend of shows she had been to.
Nice
way to kick off 2010. Tally held her own in the tough Pacific Northwest
shows, placing in most of her classes. She proceeded to win WB/BOW on
Saturday 1/30/10 for 2 points and WB on Sunday 1/31/2010 for another
2 points. This brings her total points up to 8!
Girlie, Masters Futura U Go, Girl (Masterson/Knobbe), won her
American Bred class both days at Golden Gate KC shows as well.
Not to be left out, Opal (Cabaret Come Feel The Fire, o: Masterson/Olson/Golden),
the beagle, made her debut in the 6 to 9 month puppy class. She won
WB for her first championship point on Saturday, RWB on Sunday, and
ALSO Best 13-15 " Puppy, and a Puppy Hound Group 3. This is Miss Opal
practicing at home.
Dogs sired by our boys also had a great weekend! Big
kudos to Patrica Bass Walker with her Tag son, Britsky (pictured trotting)
winning the Bred By Exhibitor Class at the Golden Gate Kennel Club the
end of January, and Winners Dog. Particia and Britsky went on to win
a Bred By Exhibitor Sporting Group 2. The following day Britsky won
Reserve Winners Dog. A very exciting weekend for both!
Congrats also to Shannon Oliver/Sue Carpenter on their Tag girl, Teko's
I Will Be Heard winning RWB from the puppy class on Saturday and
Best Puppy on Sunday.
Henley's puppy daughter, Bubbles (Richards/Hunter), made her debut and
placed 2nd both day in a very competitve 6-9 puppy bitch class.
Introducing Chloe, Masters Futura Go For Th'Gold, who is out
of the repeat Anthony and Delia breeding. Chloe made her show debut
at the San Mateo Christmas/New Years shows, and won Reserve Winners
bitch from the Amercian Bred Class. Not bad for having no idea what
the dog show game was about, and being overweight, to boot! A week at
Camp Fenner, and Chloe snapped into shape. Her next weekend shows in
Palm Springs, Chloe won a 4 point major! Congrats to the Lee's on their
wins with Chloe!
"Louie" Wyee wondering what he is getting for Christmas. I'm betting
it was pretty special!
Congratulations
to Ainah and Larry Lee on their girl, Chloe (aka Masters Futura Go
For Th'Gold, a Delia and Anthony daughter) winning Reserve WInners
Bitch at the San Mateo shows 12/29/09 and her very next weekend
out, winning Winners Bitch for a 4 point major in Palm
Springs. What a way to start 2010! Stay tuned for photos. Tally, our
little Masters Talladega Nights, won Winners Bitch and
Best of Opposite 3 of the 4 days of the San Mateo shows 12/27
thru 12/30. This brings her total to 4 points towards her championship.
12/31/09...Finished
the year with a BANG during the Cluster By The Bay shows, 12/27 thru
12/30. Our cute little "Tally" won the WB three of the four days, bringing
her championship points up to 4. This was followed by multiple class
placements through the tough Southern California shows leading into
the Eukanuba Cup. And, starting her show career off during the same
circuit, "Chloe" (Masters Futura Go For Th'Gold, out of Anthony
and Delia and owned by Ainah Lee and Jennifer Masterson) set foot in
the ring for the first time. She still has some growing up to do as
she is not 2 years old until May, and really did not understand what
being a show dog is about, but she did manage to win a Reserve Winners
Bitch under judge Joe Tacker on Tuesday. Watch for more good things
to come with "Chloe"!
WOW!!!
Ozzie (Masters Moving Like A Wizard) earned his RN title
this weekend (11/14-11/15) placing 3rd with a 97 both days. Ozzie is
just a baby...only 8 months old! Heart felt congratulations to Luke
and Laura, and Ozzie :-)
Ozzie, aka Masters Moving Like Wizard, had a great time in the
show ring with his friend, Judy. Based on this shot, I would say he
was aptly named. On another weekend, he hit the Dock Dog competitons
and had embraced his "golden-ness". Awesome water entry, Ozzie! Congrats
Luke and Laura on all of Ozzie's accomplishments :-), and kudos to you
for all you share with Ozzie.
Mimi,
aka Masters Futura Save The Last Dance, hit the show ring with
her co-owner Judy in September and won her classes easily. Mimi is out
of Anthony and Wendy, and is Wyatt's sister. She's not quite two years
old, so when she is a bit more grown up, she will be a frequent siight
on the show scene, but for now, Mimi and Judy will just enjoy an occasional
weekend out.
Introducing
"Clicquot", aka Masters Rich N Famous, CGC. Clicquot started
her show career with Team Fenner at the Ventura shows the 4th
of July weekend, and what a start she had! Clicquot won both her majors,
winning WB at the Channel City KC 7/3/09 and BOW at the
Ventura County DFA on 7/5/09. Clicquot is Eliza's sister and co-owned
by the Lee's and Jennifer.
Masters
Goldens' 3rd Champion (and 2nd Champion for Judy Knobbe, Futura)
to finish this year is Emma, now known as Ch. Masters Futura Teko
Raz'n Th'Bar! Emma minored out winning 3 of the 4 days at Southern
Oregon shows, then picked up back to back majors in Idaho at the
Pocatello KC shows.
Way
to Go, Eliza! Finishing her Championship at Rio Hondo KC 5/09
going Winners Bitch, Best Of WInners and Best Opposite Sex, then
as a move up into Best Of Breed competition the following day, Eliza
won the Breed over Specials, and went on to win a Sporting
Group 2. All before she is 2 years old! We're very proud of our
Miss Eliza.
Wow
Eliza won Winners Bitch and Best of Winners for a 5 point major under
judge Dorothy MacDonald at the Golden Retriever Club Of America Western
Regional Specialty in Chino, CA on 4/23/09. That brings Eliza up
to 14 points with both majors, all awarded in less than 2 months. Her
first major was awarded winning a Sporting Group 1 under judge Mr
Robert Stein at the Del Sur Kennel Club show, after winning Best
Of Breed over 4 Specials. Thank you to Elizabeth Jordan Nelson and
Laurie Fenner for such incredible presentation and care of our
Miss Eliza!

Samantha (Futura Masters Bee Witched) can now add the CH in front
of her name, as she finshed her championship winning Winners Bitch at
the Golden Retriever Club Of San Diego Specialty Show on 2/20/09
under judge Mr. Terry Stacy. What an exciting way to finish by
winning at a Specialty. Thank you to Pam Lamby for handling Samantha
to her finish for the Fenners, Judy Knobbe and I.

first birthday celebrating his first birthday with a romp in the woods.
What Golden wouldn't think that was the best birthday present ever?
Well, maybe an added cookie or two :-)

friends at Lucchesi Park. He LOVED his presents, and of course, in typical

is the impact the two have as a Therapy Dog team.

and Delia, won Winners Bitch at the Sacramento Dog Fanciers show
