Boasting over 20 generations of hunting titles in his lineage and many notable dogs throughout his pedigree, all of which have been health tested, Ruger is one of the "driviest" goldens we have ever met! He is an extremely high drive dog, with an incredible off-switch and medium energy levels!

Ruger is not only our family pet but our "do everything" dog, since versatility is an important cornerstone to our program, this is a trait we are very happy with! He occasionally hunts upland game with us and our go-to shed hunting dog! Ruger loves any sport where he can challenge himself and is an absolute joy to work with, this guy never gives up and never quits, pushing through any problem he's faced with! He'll keep at a problem until it is solved and enjoys any type of work we throw at him. We call him our "unicorn dog," that "can do no wrong" dog that has been easy from day one, picks up every concept with ease, never chews, marks, barks, and can go anywhere!

Ruger is available for stud use to approved female but we do not plan to use him in our own program as we are phasing out our field lines.

Ruger's last semen analysis

Pictured below are pups sired by Ruger

* photos used with permission from owners*

Ruger consistently produces sweet natured, high drive, biddable puppies who love to work and excel at any task they are presented with.

Ruger has produced puppies residing in sport, hunting, family, and service homes!

* It should be noted that Ruger does have a significant white patch on his chest that is viewed as undesirable and considered a "fault," not a disqualification, in the conformation ring( he IS a field-bred golden after all) , this is a coat trait that is hereditable and can be passed to his off-spring*
