Kim Draeger & David Delgado will raise the ABBEY puppies in San
Pedro, California. Jackie Mertens is responsible for marketing and placement
of pups and they are being sold under the TOPBRASS
Prefix. This breeding should produced exceptional competitive puppies.
ABBEY and RUGBY'S pedigree goes back to some of Topbrass original "Field
Trial Greats" that have produced outstanding retrievers for three decades.
Some of the greats in Abbey's pedigree include FC AFC
Stony-Brook's Jersey Devil - national finalist and deceased at almost
15 years of age, Shurmark's Split Decision - deceased at 15 plus years of
age, and Dual Ch Tigathoe's Funky Farquar - one of the few goldens to ever
become a National Derby Champion. ABBEY & RUGBY'S pedigree also includes
our all time great "COTTON" and his son
Wraith's Duncan - both outstanding producers.
ABBEY and RUGBY have been bred in hopes of producing "Competitive
Field Trial Goldens". The breeding excels in working ability and should
produce talented working retrievers capable of holding up to the pressure
of daily training and trialing. Both ABBEY and RUGBY also have pleasing
temperaments, making them ideal family members as well as capable competitors.
ABBEY is a fully trained field trial bitch. She became Qualified Open
All age with back to back Qualifying wins and a 2nd place at 26 months of
age. We anticipate that this litter will carry on many of her positive traits.
ABBEY has all the usual health clearances required in our Topbrass Breeding
Program, and is medium gold in color with a short dense coat. She is one
of our favorite bitches with a classic golden personality and a wonderful
working attitude.
RUGBY is well known for his field prowess. He turns heads wherever he
competes. RUGBY is a very attractive, well-bred, structurally sound male.
On top of that he should produce the type of golden pups that we are after
- bold, sensible, but crazy to retrieve pups that love to train.
This litter will be the perfect combination for intelligent, attractive
working retrievers, capable of field trial and hunt test competition as
well as being livable family members. In other words, IDEAL RETRIEVERS. |
