I am a complete novis and know nothing of about the working side of Gr's. I have however owned a very athelectic very dark bitch for 11 years. Unlike a alot of show dogs although neutered she is still very lean. Her breeding lines a Ritzilyn, Stanroph and Nortonwood. Although show lines I should imagine some where down the line they've crossed over. Hope this helps Regards Brenda

I have a rescue working goldie that I took on over a year ago. I have been wanting another dog for sometime but seem to hit brick walls when trying to find a goldie darker in colour with a more athletic build and all puppies for sale seem to be show type. Any contacts would be greatfully received!!
