His registered name might say one thing, but there was literally no 'Bad News" about this boy!
"Coach" was a beautiful light golden color and a moderate overall dog, standing 24 inches high and weighing in at 74 pounds. He was a solid, well-balanced dog who had a strong flowing and effortless gait. This boy was short-coupled with a solid top line and a proper tail carriage. He had a beautiful forechest, with plenty of sternum and proper shoulder layback. Coach had an exquisite headpiece with a soft expression and great muzzle depth. He had full dentition and a proper scissor bite. Along with his dark pigment that remained year round, he had the correct coat texture for both the show season and the hunting season! Practically perfect!!
Coach was a multiple Best in Specialty Show, Best of Breed and Sporting Group winner, having also been singled out for an Award of Excellence in competition at the AKC/Eukanuba National Championships in Long Beach, CA, in December of 2006 and earning a Judges Award of Merit at the presitgious Westminster Kennel Club show in February of 2007.
Coach was ranked the #1 Golden Retriever in the Canine Chronical Breed Point System (December, 2007). What great achievements!
Coach had also completed the requirements for his Senior Hunter title, along with his Companion Dog (CD) obedience title and his Working Certificate Excellent (WCX) hunting title! He simply did it all!
"Coach" celebrated at the 2004 GRCA National Specialty.
