The "Up Side" at Highmark was Buddy!

Buddy was a Starbuck grandson who truly continued in the family tradition of the Golden Retriever Specialty winners that had come before him! Buddy completed his championship title with a BIG WIN at the Kansas City GRC Independent Golden Retriever Specialty held in Lawrence, Kansas, the last week of June, 2008.

Born on May 20, 2005, Buddy had grown into a very striking boy - a beautiful combination of both his sire and dam. With a strong head and neck, proper shoulder layback and correct rear angulation, Buddy moved effortlessly around the show ring. He was certainly exciting to watch!

Our Buddy, he was the clown, the anchor, the sneaker of things into crates, and toys into piles .. And he was very much loved.

"Buddy" was in his element in the show ring!
