We are so very proud to announce that Breeze is the very first Obedience Trial Champion (OTCH)from our kennel!!! (Breeze is a daughter of our dear Paige and Harry). This is quite a huge accomplishment and we are so very proud of Breeze and her owner/trainer Wendy for obtaining this Championship title and at the tender age of just 4 yrs old!!!! Breeze is now known as OTCH Braefield’s Order of The Pheonix:-) and she is owned/trained and loved by Wendy and John Forsyth of Caledonia. Well done Wendy and Breeze!!!!

I am so pleased that after taking such a long (years) break from retrieving that my heart girl Briar Rose at the tender age of 9 yrs obtained her WCI title.
This title qualified her for the Golden Retriever Club of Canada’s Versatility Certificate…having accomplished Conformation points, Obedience and Retrieving titles.
A title that I always wanted to get with her. “I love you Briar Rose”
