Xena - our endearing, ernest little Red Dog who gives 110% in everything she does ! Xena is equally at home reclining on the couch in front of the woodstove, or out duck & pheasant hunting in any type of weather.

Xena finished her Senior Hunter title with 6 straight passes and has 2 Master Hunter legs. Life got busy with our move and new house construction and we never did finish completing her Master Hunter title. Despite that, Xena is a dynamite little hunter, full of intensity and drive, earning the nickname “The Red Rocket” from friends. She is our favorite duck dog due to her ability to creep quietly when jump shooting or to sit patiently in the duck blind. At home she is a quiet, calm companion and brings the same affectionate serenity to young children on Therapy Dog visits to schools and libraries. In 2009, Xena was awarded the coveted Certificate of Conformation Assessment and Versatility Certificate by the Golden Retriever Club of America, attesting to her overall correctness of breed type and the wide scope of her accomplishments.

Xena presented us with 3 lovely litters of multi-purpose hunting and companion pups. Pups from those litters are competing in field, tracking, agilty, obedience, dock jumping and participating in therapy dog work. Her youngest daughter Bonnie (Adirondac Meadowbrae Free Spirit) is now living with us in our 3 generation family group and shows great promise to carry on Xena’s and Grandmom Marcy’s legacies.
