Corey is a wonderful companion, a golden that makes you smile all the time. She is as biddable as a dog could be and loves learning, training and competing but is also a pleasure as a companion. She is an easy house dog and an eager training partner. She has all the energy you would want while working and all the calmness you would want around the house. She is one of the most intelligent dogs I've ever worked with. She is neither soft nor hard, handling the stress of learning easily. She problem solves well and prefers to learn that way.
Corey is a nicely built girl as evidenced by her earning her CCA under breeder-evaluators Kay Gosling, Sandy Dunn and Cheryl Blair. Corey is a large girl, over 23" tall, toward the top of the Standard for bitches, and weighs 70-72 pounds. She has moderate bone, an easy drip-dry, medium gold coat with lovely flaxen feathers. She has a nice, if masculine, head with good breadth and depth of skull and muzzle. She has a lovely stop and correct ear size and placement. She has a dark, nicely shaped eye that makes for an intelligent, eager expression. She has good eye and mouth pigment but her nose lacks pigment. She has full dentition but her two lower incisors are dropped.
Corey has good front angulation, forechest and prosternum. She has a strong topline with broad ribcage and short loin. She has very good rear angles with a broad thigh. She has a correct tail set and carriage. She moves well with average reach and drive. Though large, she is very fast, athletic and agile.
Corey is a birdy retriever with strong drive and excellent marking. She earned her WC on her first try and finished her JH title at the age of 2. She recently passed her WCX, doing a wonderful job on all five birds.
In her first year in agility, she earned both her AKC Novice and Open titles with placements for each leg. She started 2003 late due to health problems with our other dogs but her first weekend out, she finished her AXJ with a class win. She now has finished her MX MXJ and has MACH points and QQs.
Corey loves obedience and came out in novice at the GR National Specialty and earned her first CD leg with a 197 out of 200 points. She finished her CD with two other 197s, this time with a 2nd and a 3rd place. She then got an extra leg with a 198 and a class win.
Corey's first puppy Tango is working hard in performance events, including winning the YGRC Puppy Stake and earning entry-level titles in obedience, rally, field and agility. At two years of age, Corey's second litter, the Wind litter, is making their presence known in performance events with field, agility, obedience, tracking and rally titles.
Corey's littermates include High-in-trial winner MACH LornaDoone's ReturnEngagement CDX (ADHF), LornaDoone's Memryof Stardust MX MXJ and LornaDoone's Whale Of A Time UD. Her kids are young but they made her a GRCA Outstanding Dam. They include:
