Our Girls

DOB October 30, 2009Cava for this wonderful girl!

International Champion Tanglewood Line in the Sand "Jessie" is the sweetest, most laid back girl ever with a very "go with the flow" attitude.
She is a happy girl, enjoys life to the fullest and is a thinker as well - she learns very quickly when in training. Her attitude is one of curiosity when she is investigating a new situation. Jessie loves to retrieve tennis balls and frisbees all day long. If you like to have a swimming companion her desire is to be right by your side - she is a natural swimmer and truly loves the water!
Physically Jessie is beautiful with a nicely chiseled head with well set ears and dark, nicely set almond shaped eyes. She has a beautiful, full dense coat.

Jessie has a level top-line even as she moves in the show ring. Comments from the judges were that Jessie has "good reach and drive," a "clean, overall, well balanced movement" and “a nice fluid gate.”

Jessie took Best of Breed two times at the IABCA show last year on October 29 & 30th, 2011- the weekend of her second birthday!

Jessie's mother is "Kruppet"; Can Ch UKC-CH Cameo Tea Time

In addition, Jessie has received her Delta Society therapy dog certification. Jessie was awarded a complex rating on this test signifying she has a very stable demeanor and can be admitted to any type of therapy situation such as hospital settings, retirement homes and schools.

Jessie came to us from Tanglewood Golden Retrievers and we are so grateful to Joanne Cava for this wonderful girl!

Tanglewood First Impression - "Joy"

DOB February 2, 2011

Twin Leaf’s International & National Champion Tanglewood First Impression Joy is an amazingly confident and loving girl.
Our second English Golden girl came to us at a time in life when our family was struggling with some of life’s let-downs. She was such a blessing and brought us a tremendous “Joy,” hence her name!
Joy comes from a strong line and background of therapy dogs - exactly what we were looking for! Joy has such confidence she will go toward noises in order to figure out what they are instead of shying away. She is a true lover, an extremely patient soul and always wants to be right by your side.
Joy has been through Puppy Socialization class, Beginner One, Beginner Two, and is currently enrolled in CGC (Canine Good Citizenship) for the months of April and May. In April Joy will also attempt her Delta Society TDI therapy certification as well. We see this young girl as a confident therapy dog and a lover of people.
At the age of nine months, Joy completed her National and International titles with the IABCA on October 29 & 30, 2011.
In addition, Joy took two First Place and two Second Place finishes in the Jungsten age group (6-9 months).
Some comments from the judges’s critique’s were:
“Joy is an energetic feminine puppy. Coat: good quality & volume. Head: balanced muzzle to skull. Mouth: correct scissors. Eyes: dark and expressive. Ears: well set. Chest: filled appropriately for her age. Front quarters: well laid back shoulder. Back quarters: in balance with front. Tail: correctly set and carried. Top line: held level on move, movement true coming & going. Joy is a happy girl & her tail is always wagging!”

We are happy to announce that Joy , at 15 months old, has received her Delta Society Therapy Dog certification, with a Complex rating, allowing her to enter into any therapy situation.
