There's a reason why our name is "Golden!"

[goldensammy]

...It's because we deserve to be at the top of the podium!



How could you not love a golden retriever?!?!

Goldens...

G iving and gentle
O bey all commands
L ove to kiss you
D efend their owners at all times
E xcellent athletes
N ever get the runny monster *cough* Kirby *cough* Meka *cough*

Where are all the golden retrivers and their owners?! This is WAR!

[Moo]

Yeah. The same reason my name is Coton. For our appearance.
Uh huh, you are your iron stomach. Well I haven't seen you even TRY to eat an anti static sheet.

Kirby.

No no, their name is Golden Retriever. Very few people know where they actually get their name from. See they used to be companions of theives and would steal anything golden. But their owners didn't want to give away their trade so bred them to have a gold color and called them Golden Retrievers so that anyone in the theft business would know what they are, but anyone else would think that they are innocent golden colored dogs used to retrieve game in hunting. But there, now everyone knows the truth, they are just lowly theives at heart.






Boy, I sure am glad we don't have to backup any statements in this war. lol

[goldensammy]

Golden would rather ignore that part of their life... c'mon, it's old ancestors we're talking about here.

But then again, could any of YOUR dogs be such GREAT thieves?! We got away with it! And we loved it!

What this isn't a good enough hobby? *pout* Just remember, when I have kids I won't have to buy a bunch of storybooks cause I can just make up my own.

[goldensammy]

Heartsong... I'm all set. These goldens are just such great dogs that they're always doing something with me. I have a hobby because of them! I'm never ever bored! Always playing, napping, training. Plus, they're so obedient that they can lay around not making a mess while I go do whatever I want to do. I love it! GOLDENS RULE!

WHERE ARE ALL THE GOLDEN RETRIEVERS? I can't do this on my own!

Sammy you breed is too weak, your fellow owners cant do battle.
A very poor showing thus far from the Goldens and the Labs.

I said before we could honor Sammy as a GoldenDoberman. It may be the only way you come out alive in this war.

Dog Beats Most in Swim From Alcatraz

Organizers of the South End Rowing Club's 10th annual Alcatraz Invitational — a 1.2 mile swim from the infamous prison island to the San Francisco shoreline — say the 65-pound golden retriever is the first canine known to have made the crossing.

He was the only dog among more than 500 swimmers who lept into the chilly, choppy waters on Saturday, coming in 72nd overall. His time was 41 minutes and 45 seconds.

The crowd cheered as the 4-year-old pooch made his way onto solid ground, shaking sprays of water and dodging a woman who tried to put a medal around his neck.

"It was colder and rougher than we thought it would be," said Jeff Pokonosky, Jake's owner and swim partner. "Jake amazed me. He was very focused. He started out really fast. I was trying to slow him down. He increased his pace to stay with the pack."

The pair live in San Diego and swim 4 miles a week and bodysurf together, Pokonosky said. And Jake always eats scrambled eggs before a big swim.

Bill Wygant, president of the South End Rowing Club, said he was more than happy to allow a dog into the race, a first for the more than 100-year-old group.

"This swim is about personal challenge," Wygant said. "Whether you are dog or human, it's whatever you can achieve that counts."

NICE WORK! You other dogs don't have a CHANCE! Might as well give up now...
