I'm a professional dog trainer and also a breeder of Goldens. I'm working on a long term project to reintroduce Goldens into the field. I'm trying to focus on a great family dog and field companion with the focus on keeping the "family dog" character strong. Most of our customers are in the woods often (hiking, trail walking, etc...) but only hunt over the dogs a handful of times per year. Most of the high energy lines are unsuitable for the typical family based on their energy level.

We have a 24 yr old line of solid companions and we're always looking for good stock, feedback and advise to help with the line.

Does anyone have any experience hunting over a Golden?
