Morningsage Goldens originally hailed from Southwestern
Minnesota, where we Bred & Showed
our dogs and
were among the founding members of The Worthington Kennel
Club, active
members in The Greater Twin Cities G.R.C.
for many years, and G.R.C.A. members
since
1969. We started with our first Golden in 1965, beginning with
obedience competition, then
becoming active Breeder/Owner/Handlers in Conformation competition.
Our breeding
program was small, our puppies home raised, but
we were very active in showing the dogs
we did produce.We invite you to view the photo history of
our dogs, by navigating to the
Remembering Dogs pages that feature many of the dogs we
proudly produced and titled.
Life changes brought us to Nebraska after 30 years in Minnesota,
and life changes are again
bringing about a move. I have have not actively been breeding
dogs in recent years, the
last "Morningsage Goldens" litter was in 1999, resulting our brother
and sister pair,
Win and Glitz, and followed by a Co-Bred litter that our
beautiful Jewel was from.
Sadly Jewel has since gone to the Bridge, and that was a terrible loss.
I still enjoy showing
my dogs, however foot surgery has kept me out of commission since
March 2005 and life
changes may continue to put showing on the back-burner for me for awhile.
My "youngsters"
are no longer dogs that I've bred and raised, but I was delighted
their Breeders' trusted
me with two beautiful boys, Talon my youngest "pointed" Golden boy,
and Boozer the Welsh
Springer Spaniel who became my youngest Owner handled Champion of Record.
My dogs are
my "family" and they bring daily laughter & smiles and as always,
my life has been enriched by the
many friendshipsthat have developed through breeding & then
showing the dogs, as well as
the many friends around the country active in Golden Retriever rescue!!
Life seemed to get in the
way of keeping timely updates going on this my personal site, but I
hope to remedy that soon.

"Talon" our youngest addition, pictured at
11 wks., in 2003 is a "Fish Guppy" that
has stolen our hearts. He is a "Striper
x Scurry" kid, bred by
Jane Fish & Sue Nation.

"Boozer", a.k.a. Brylin Morningsage H'eyeball,
is pictured at 13 weeks in 2003. Our second
youngest boy, and our first deviation
from Goldens in many
decades.....but he sure is a lot of fun!
