At
six months old, Ripley had surgery on both hips for severe hip dysplasia
(see our web site's
hip dysplasia information
to see a photo!). He had been in obedience class, and had to take three
months off to recover. He did recover, and went on to get his AKC
companion dog title, and to become a registered therapy dog with Therapy
Dogs International. I've had dogs all my life, and have three cocker
spaniels now, also, but Ripley is special. He is the most gentle,
loving, intelligent dog I have ever met! He is a joy to be around every
day. Now Ripley is training for the Companion Dog Excellent title, and
does he ever love to jump!!!! That is something I never imagined he
would be able to do when I saw the x-rays of his hips as a puppy. I
know, now, that I will always have golden retrievers in my life, thanks
to my very own goldendog, Ripley!
