We'd probably be looking for Golden females that are owner surrenders/rescues . . . . but those aren't falling off trees. Keeper was an owner surrender while Abby came to us as an original.

We'll see.

Before we got them, we both independently looked through various dog books and breed descriptions and Golden's came out as both of our top choices . . . . so we were on the same page back then and I would be surprised if we didn't go that way again. The breed suits us quite well for temperment and size.

Unfortunately/fortunately, our later Spring/early Summer period is probably right about the time when all those Christmas puppies will start showing up. About 50% of puppies, I think I read somewhere, are looking for new homes within the first year, people overwhelmed by the responsibility or lacking the ability to deal with the little terrorist they've taken on.

Have a good Xmas
