Two conformation ladies in the New Jersey club decided to take their Goldens to a Hunting Retriever Club training day. It was side-splitting -- they drove their show van, their Goldens were perfectly groomed because they had been to a show the previous weekend, one of them was wearing an "I (heart) Goldens" T-shirt -- they show up at this gnarly swamp site, everybody's driving pickup trucks and wearing camouflage, "and their dogs -- their dogs had WHISKERS!"
I made copies for all my hunting retriever friends (especially the Golden owners.)
I remember that one, it was pretty funny. One thing I have to say is that any time I've taken one of my fluffies to a field event, even the serious field people are very nice and helpful. There is also a golden who just finished his conformation CH who also has a Canadian FC. That is an awesome achievement (altho I think there are several labs who are dual CH alive, yes?)

She used to try to get in my lap. LOL! I would have to have my daughter rescue me because I couldn't get up. Oh, I miss her!
