"Cali" 
 
Ch Morningsage Carmel Cali 
(Ch Amberac's Tackled Mybowser X 
Am Can Morningsage Some Punkin ) 
"Cali" was purchased from us as a puppy by Chas. & Pat Barlow,  and they graciously allowed 
  me the pleasure of showing "Cali" to most of her Ch. points, and as a Special !  She was an 
  outstanding showgirl, throughout her career, and  I was  especially honored to  show her 
  in the 1989 Top Twenty Invitational at the National Specialty in Colorado and always proud 
  to be her breeder!  She is pictured winning an earlier BOS at the Mile Hi GRC also in CO.

                      Morningsage Chasin Fame (Left) 

     ( his sire:  Ch Daystar Molega's Windjammer 
              dam:  Morningsage A Wing An A Prayer ) 

  He completed the required wins/points for his Can. Ch 
  but doesn't carry the official title, because we did not 
  register him with the CKC. 

  Chase was lost to cancer, soon after our move to 
  Nebraska in 1996.  He only enjoyed his "country living" 
  for a 
  short while. 

 
 
 

  This is our young friend Micah with his 
  little Teeka girl at 4 months in 1991! 
  This pair garnered a lot of Showmanship 
  wins in 4-H and obedience placements 
  too, at the State level.
  Micah and "Teeka" have come a 
  long way together, they are shown 
  here earning their CDX degree!

 Hialeah Morningsage Haley, CDX, aka "Haley" 
 with her owner/trainer Linda Smith.  We think 
 this was a pretty special accomplishment!  Haley 
 suffered the ravages of a disease called Myositis 
 as a young adult, difficult for both Haley and Linda 
 to live through.  We are very proud of them!
  Morningsage Double Trouble, CDX  
  aka "Tucker" with his owner/trainer 
  Linda Smith, they are working 
  toward their  UD degree in 2000
 
 
 This is "Peach", the  Hunter X Caitlin girl we kept for 
 ourselves.  She was "pointed" & would have done well, but several months after this Specialty Show "Major" RWB win 
 she failed to pass her OFA certification.  Having Bred and shown our "own Goldens" for these many years, this was almost the straw that broke the camels back, for me.  I went through a terrible period of disappointment over losing this lovely girl for our 
breeding program, and came very close to quitting 
"showing".  Peach was placed in a lovely pet home 
with children to love...and the world went on, and 
we are still here, showing our homebred dogs , albeit we have slowed down much! 
 
 
Of Course these "Remembering" pages of our dogs of the past are fun, but they also brings tears for all of those Golden hearts we miss so much. 
We BELIEVE in "The Rainbow Bridge", a lovely writing that helps give comfort when you've lost your special pets.  If you haven't seen it before please look for it in our drop down navigation menu.
