"CRICKET"
Ms Yellow from our Leap Litter (Sparks & Gin). Owned and loved by Annette Caspar; Cricket is a very talented, super biddable, high energy focused Golden and they are an incredible team. She has the trainability and work ethic to title in multiple venues at a very young age. Cricket earned her CKC Master Hunt Title in 2021 and earned an additional 8 legs "in a row" towards her Grand Master Hunt Title in just one year. She was GRCBC Field Dog of the Year and Ambassador Award in 2020 after earning a 2nd and 4th placement in CKC Junior (Derby) Field Trials. Cricket completed her HRCH title and has 20 CKC Master Hunt passes. In 2024 Annette decided to try Qualifying Field Trials and this team completed their CKC QFTR Title (Qualifying Field Trial Retriever) in just 3 starts with a 3rd placement, 2nd placement and 1st - winning the FVTR Qual on Sep 30th. In their very first Amateur Field Trial, Cricket earned a JAM. She is Qualified ALL AGE in Canada.
Cricket is very fast on land and water, excellent marking skills and runs nice lines on blinds. I have had the pleasure of training with Annette and Cricket and she is team player with a ton of heart and the energy to work or hunt all day long. Annette works full time as a teacher and they only train for field in the summer months yet have been able to accomplish so much together. When they are not training in the field they are adventuring into many other sports. Cricket earned her CD tile in obedience with a high in trial, high in class, she also excels in Rally, Agility, Dock Diving, Scent Detection, Barn Hunt and Shed Hunting. Cricket recently became the only Golden in the Pacific Northwest to earn a Champion Shed Hunting title in limited tries and they are only a few placements away from an Elite Shed Champion Title. They have 15 minutes to find 5 antlers and Cricket did her last 5 finds in December in 3 min and 36 seconds.
Cricket is one of the most titled female Goldens in Canada, she just loves to work!
Cricket is such a playful fun loving girl who gets along with all dogs, loves puppies & kids. In the home she lives with her beloved older Golden Maisie and she settles easily in the house with a great on/off switch. She also is a cuddle bug and can be found snuggled with Maisie or helping Annette on her computer or on the couch watching TV.
Cricket has a sweet Golden expression, pleasing head, dark eye and correct scissors bite and her pigment is good (her nose fades slightly in winter months). She stands 22 3/4 tall and weighs 55lb, is very muscled, in excellent working condition and jumps effortlessly. She has an athletic build and is very fast in the field and in agility with good length of leg under her. She trots effortlessly with very good foot timing, no roll, rock solid topline and is very balanced. She carries a drip dry coat with slight wave, good undercoat and moderate length of feathering for a hunting retriever. She has decent bone, very nice length of neck, moderate layback, good tail set & correct carriage.
Her pedigree is full of outstanding producers and multipurpose Goldens that have been top competitors in their time and excelled in multiple venues. Cricket is one of the most highly titled Golden Retriever females in Canada.
Cricket with be bred to "Dash" UHCH Glenbrier's Riverboat Gambler SH WCX in spring of 2025 and we are very exited about this pairing!
