Trooper is probably the most biddable dog I have owned.  He currently resides with 2 Goldens (1 male, 1 female), a female pitbull mix and our cat. From puppyhood on, he has been an easy dog to work with. 

Physical appearance:  Medium built dog, 23.5” at withers, weighing about 72 lbs. Dark red in color with a very correct Golden coat. Athletic build with good movement and extension.

Personality:  Very happy, outgoing dog with a wonderful personality towards people and other dogs. Tremendous focus and drive, but is quite easy to live with.

Hunting:  Natural upland hunter – he flushed and retrieved his first pheasants at 6 months of age. Easy hunting style on all types of upland birds. My friends love to hunt over him. Quiet in a duck blind and in the boat. Soft mouth with birds, live or dead.  High prey drive on cripples.

Training:  Very focused when training.  He learns quickly and seems to enjoy all types of training.  I do not use a collar on him for field work.

Titles:
WC earned in 2004
JH & WCX earned in 2005
CD, SH, NAP, NJP, CL1, CL2-S, CL2-R, CL2-F, PK1 earned in 2006

Other awards:  Placed 2^nd overall out of 21 teams in 2004 at Yankee Waterfowler’s 9^th Annual Pheasant Championship at 18 months of age. Also awarded High Scoring Young Dog and High Scoring Mixed Gender Shooting Team.

Placed 2^nd overall out of 17 teams in 2006 at Yankee Waterfowler’s 11^th Annual Pheasant Championship. Also awarded High Scoring Mixed Gender Shooting Team.
