HIGGINS

Hi Barb,  It's been a while since I last emailed you about Higgins. (from Ruby and Loch's Aug. 24th 06th litter).  He is an absolute love.  Both Steve and I don't know what we would do without him.  He is smart, playful, snuggley, gentle, and very handsome.  I have not entered him in any dog obed. shows but we are going to class for open level.  I wish you could see him retrieve over the high jump.  He is so graceful he takes your breath away.  The instructor really wants me to compete with him but I have no desire to drive all over to get to the shows.  I don't know if you remember but I wanted the biggest Golden that was available from that litter.  Higgins was not the biggest but he did grow to 23 1/2 in and weighs 77lb.  He is not as big as my first Golden  25 1/2 in and 95 lbs but I changed my mind and think he is plenty big.  I'm not as young as I used to be.  Higgins is my constant companion and makes my days enjoyable and full.  I am so glad you picked him out of a litter of 12 cute puppies as a perfect match for me because that is what he is.

Debbie, Steve, and Higgins
