Gerri Mitchell will whelp and raise these pups in her home in GA. I will do the final socialization and evaluation and pups will be picked up in Madison, FL. DUBLIN is a wonderful field bitch with a fantastic pedigree, and she has all of her health clearances required in our Topbrass Breeding Program.

DUBLIN and GUS were bred using FRESH CHILLED semen. We are really looking forward to bringing in some of the great old blood of FC Wraiths HTR MN Bro Macdhuibh OS, NAFC FC Topbrass Cotton OS FDHF, FC AFC OTCH Topbrass Ascending Elijah OS/FDHF, Wraiths Duncan *** OS, and other noteworthy deceased goldens.

The pedigree goes back to some of the Topbrass original "Field Trial Greats" that have produced outstanding retrievers for over four decades. Some other great old goldens in this pedigree also include AFC Splashdown Texas Two Stepper OD FDHF and FC AFC Windbreakers Mighty Mo OS FDHF- both healthy long lived producers of numerous competition goldens in FIELD & OBEDIENCE.

Quotes from Dublin's Owner "If I had to describe Dublin in a word, it would be INTENSE. She is passionate about retrieving and she has a great water entry and loves the water . She has an ingrained sense of marking where the birds fall, and is a team player like her sire, AFC Emberain Rugby, the sire of 24 qualified all age offspring.

Her young dog training went very well and she won a derby and earned 7 Derby points before moving up to big dog work. She quickly became qualified all age before three years old. At the qualifying stake that she won, she was the only dog that stayed in the water all the way to the bird in the last series to beat out 33 other dogs and handlers for the blue ribbon.

I think Dublin has the perfect combination of drive, desire, trainability and courage. She is 64 lbs of muscle and will take on any challenge. She is also a great companion and wonderful in the house.

Dublin is a medium dark gold with flaxen feathers and tail, stunning to watch run in the field. She is the sought after combination of high spirit, but also a team player."

**************
GUS easily earned a spot on the National Derby list and soon became Qualified all age. He also has All Age Placements and Jam's. He is a sound, very good looking 74 lb golden male with a pleasing head and expression, and excellent conformation. He is a fantastic marker and an excellent water dog. GUS is similar to his mom - our 13 1/2 year old golden girl, AFC Topbrass Pawsability OD FDHF.

Quotes from Gus's Owner "Gus is the best marking dog I’ve owned and that includes his uncle Yoda, littermate to Paws (Gus's mom). From early puppyhood Gus naturally ran right to the bird. Although he has shown real headiness, his marking is almost an instinctual knowledge of where the birds are.

On top of the almost mystical marking ability, Gus possesses great style. He is very flashy and even when returning with the bird there is a big splash. He is a very quick learner, and responds well to pressure without it affecting his great training attitude. Gus is willing to stay in the water and do big swims. Probably his greatest attribute is his courage, the bigger the test the better for Gus. He will not give up the hunt for a bird, period.

In addition to being my number one field trial dog, we take three months off every season to hunt ducks. Like many field trial and hunt test Golden’s, when Gus is home he sleeps on the bed with us. Lastly Gus has that a terrific Golden temperament that draw so many of us to the breed. He is always smiling, happy, gets along well with other dogs and is everybody’s friend."

We think the DUBLIN and GUS litter will be bold, crazy to retrieve pups that love to train.We assume that we will get strong, healthy, competitive pups from the litter.

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.

OUR puppies are carefully raised in the home environment and socialized accordingly. They are individually stimulated daily for maximum potential. Due to these procedures, the puppies readily accept new and varied distractions and stimuli in the environment around them. Our puppies enjoy individual "play exercises", and are introduced to retrieving by this method. We encourage the new owners of all our Topbrass puppies to continue "motivational training" through PUPPY CLASSES to ensure an easy transition from our environment to their new homes. Pups brought up in this manner mature into well adjusted adults.

Before leaving Topbrass, our puppies are wormed, given their first 5 way shots, and are examined by our veterinarian for overall health and soundness. We test and evaluate our puppies using procedures outlined by various behavioral psychologists, in addition to individual methods that we have developed over the past 40 plus years to determine the temperament and potential of each pup.

In addition to the above, we have a Puppy Support Program available to Topbrass Retriever owners.

 PRICE & DEPOSIT

The price of the DUBLIN and GUS Pups is $2000 with breeding potential and AKC Full Registration.

This price reflects the quality of the breeding, the commitment we have to the breed in terms of time and financial investment, our continual updates of health clearances and improvement of our breeding stock, and the caring and concern of our Topbrass network of helpers.


We require a deposit of $200 to reserve puppies in advance of whelping; litters generally sell quickly. We ask that our puppies be registered with the "TOPBRASS PREFIX". Please feel free to call us at (847) 494-4227 or email us at: jackie@topbrass-retrievers.com
