New information from UC Davis regarding recommended spay neuter ages by breed and gender based on the increased risks of joint diseases and certain cancers. The list now documents (40) popular dog breeds. The information is extremely interesting because it shows us that our current "blanket" recommendations based on "size" of the dog is not accurate in certain cases. For breeds that do not have specific data yet or mixed breed dogs the recommendation for spay neuter will be based on the current information we have available. If you would like to read more about the ongoing study follow the link. https://www.ucdavis.edu/health/news/when-should-you-neuter-or-spay-your-dog

Looking for a loving forever home (or foster family!) for Sadie!

This sweet 10-year-old pup, Sadie, came to Evergreen Golden Retriever Club after her family sadly had to flee domestic abuse. Despite her past, Sadie is a total sweetheart! She's hard of hearing, but walks well on a leash and absolutely loves cuddling with her plush toys. So far, she seems to get along well with other pets and children.

Could you be Sadie's perfect match? Or maybe you know someone who could give her the loving home she deserves? Please share this post and reach out if you're interested in learning more about fostering or adopting Sadie.

P.S. I'm currently caring for this precious girl and can answer any questions you might have.

Excited that a local 4-H club has started. Boys and Akari are eager to learn. Having grown up with 4-H I am excited to get the kids joined and involved.

Canine health researchers around the world are looking for dogs to help them better understand disease. In some cases, you and your dog need to live close to the research institution. In other cases, you can participate no matter where you live. You can make a significant impact on canine health research! Learn more at www.akcchf.org/participate.

Happy new year everyone.✨️❤️ 2023 has been a busy year and I felt like it went by so quickly. I am proud to say though that we did complete all of 2023 goals and then some though!
1) We partipated in at least 6 rally events. Akari even earned her rally 1 with USDAA and is only 1 more away from earning an AKC title.
2) Akari earned her CGC and ATT titles with flying colors
3) We performed at an IABCA event and even worked as a steward when not competing.
4) EGRC kept us busy this season when we participated in a couple hunt test events and assisted in the planning of the clubs summer conformation show.
5) We stayed current on health testing and participated in research regarding longevity, genetic diversity and cancer prevention.
Along with these goals I got involved with local rescue this summer and plan to continue to be a resource for the community for goldens in need. This coming year will be when Akari will have her final hip testing (prelims were good), and from there will determine if a breeding will be in her future. At this time I am no hurry as this has been a rough year from many people emotionally and economically. As 2024 begins I will be evaluating many things, including finding and adequate stud, to determine if 2024 will be a good year for a first litter.

Phew! All of this while continuing my day to day job, raising children, and completing grad school. Here's to 2024! May it be blessed with love, kindness and things that bring you joy

Always eager to assist in research!

Hip Dysplasia is a quite common inheritable malformation in certain breeds.
Cornell University is doing a meta study right now!
If you have a Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever, German Shepard or a mix with any of these breeds and ever done an embark test your information could be needed.
Read below if you’re interested.

❤️ Akari has mellowed out so much in the last year, although her nose can still get her in trouble 😅
