🚨🐾 Attention Dog Owners! 🐾🚨

Did you know that blue-green algae can be hazardous for pets? Found in stagnant water like ponds and lakes, this toxic algae can cause severe health issues and even be fatal.

Spread the word and help protect our beloved pets! 🐶💙

July 4th is approaching, which means it's time to consider how fireworks will affect your pets. Shelters have a high influx of pets around Independence Day because the sound of fireworks can frighten them, and there's a greater chance they'll try to run away. Consider keeping your pets at home and indoors during the festivities, and talk with your veterinarian about ways you can reduce the risk of problems. Be sure your pet's microchip information is up-to-date in case they do escape and go missing. For more July 4th safety tips, visit http://bit.ly/2lC9d2M.

The fourth of July is near and what better way to celebrate than with fireworks and sparklers. Although it may not be expected, dogs will chew on and eat fireworks and may become anxious due to the unexpected, loud sound. When ingested dogs can have GI upset, obstruction, and even damage to their red blood cells. It’s best to keep your furry friends inside while enjoying the pyrotechnics!

To continue, after Carnation on Saturday we then booked it home, picked up the other granddaughter, exchanged Pacer with Blue and drove down to Sauvie Island, Portland Oregon and the next morning ran in the Lower Columbia Hunting Retriever Club, HRC test! Under the SEASONED judges, Rick Roberts and Doug Burt, Pacer completed with another pass. It was a fun day, Pacer had already Titled at the previous hunt test! It was just a fun time and Pacer really makes it enjoyable! Tele missed due to being in heat, but she will be back out to enjoy the fun soon!!!

It was a GREAT weekend (now I am pooped!)
Here is Mavericks very first run. They both did great and feeling very proud to have been there to watch!!!
This was held by Evergreen Golden Retriever Club at Carnation WA. The judges pictured giving out the ribbons, Lisa Gibson, Toni Bamford, and apprentice Marianne Thompson were 3 of the best AKC judges I have seen in a long time. They made it a pleasure to be there and really encouraged the new runner but most of all wanted each dog feeling successful! My hats off to the dogs and owners that passed and to the judges!!
My granddaughter Emilee also run Maverick’s mom, Blue, and made it to the last bird but couldn’t quite pull it off. A little disappointed but she is looking forward to next weekend already!

In partnership with GRCA's Public Education Committee, we are excited to launch . Check our account every Tuesday to learn about the responsibilities of owning a golden retriever.

Is a Golden Retriever Right for You?

Making a well thought out decision is important when you are considering bringing a
dog into your home. Golden Retrievers are hugely popular due to their temperament as
great family dogs. But, is a Golden Retriever right for you? There is more to owning a
Golden than an adorable face and happy-go-lucky personality.
