I think I'm having a cuteness overload heart attack! OMG! I can't stand it, he's so adorable! Lucky you! Welcome to PT..prerequiste..LOTS of pictures!

Thanks all for the compliments. He is 8 wks old this Friday and already 90% potty trained!

Love him to death.

I'm not sure if I'm going to show him or not. I've never done it. My last Goldy died last Oct. at 7.5 years old, and his father (CH Chuckanut's Mighty Warrior)was a super show dog, but I never showed his son.

This pup comes from Chisolms Golden's in Concord CA (Pick of the litter). He has great features and a great personality.

One thing I noticed today is that he likes to curl his tail up when he walks around. Is there a way to keep it straight, or to keep him from curling it up over his back? He is definitely all Golden Retriever according to his registered genealogy.

He's still a pup, and a pretty young one at that. I'm sure his tail will straighten out as he gets older :P

[Pawsitive Thinking]

I'd like to call him mine ! He's beautiful - look forward to watching him grow up

I'm very sorry to hear about your last golden, but it sure looks like this little guy will help mend your broken heart...he's too adorable!

Good luck with the naming.

gahh, what a cutie! He has a precious face!! If he's the pick, his breeder probably noticed the tail thing and probably isn't concerned with it affecting his conformation when he matures. I've seen lots of puppies with funny tail carriage, which isn't permanent. I don't think you can do anything, though, if he decides he just likes to carry it that way! Congrats on your adorable little fuzz-ball!!

:0) You should definitely consider showing him for fun, at least, if you're interested. Call his breeder or a local Obedience school for conformation classes... just showing as a hobby really isn't extremely difficult or expensive, you can also do Obedience, Agility, Tracking, Dock-diving, etc, etc, etc with your pup, which is WAAY fun!

Could you give us the registered names of his parents, or perhaps his grandparents? And, anything you'd like included in his name (ie... do you want something referring to his callname, Cooter?) so we can give you suggestions. I like using names of songs, or references to the dogs personality, as show names... ie, I've always liked as a show name, Chisolms Rebel Yell ... that's if he's a particularly rebellious little guy!

He is sooo cute!!

[Kfamr]

Wow, could Cooter be any cuter? He is just precious and it looks like you live in a very beautiful area.
