Cracker was chosen for his outstanding ability for obedience training and then promptly showed me how much I still had to learn about training dogs. Cracker learned all his exercises quickly and then forgot almost everything as soon as he went into the competition ring. The student became the teacher as Cracker has encouraged me to develop new skills and techniques. He went on to earn his Companion Dog title at one year of age of age, his Novice title by two years, and with a lot of work and some luck he finished his Utility Dog title and became and Obedience Trial Champion in September 2011. In addition he has an American CD title and has a United Kennel Club obedience champion title.

Along the way Cracker also competed in Rally O where he achieved the highest level possible in Canada along a Rally novice with UKC and the American Kennel club.

Cracker is more than just a successful trial dog, he is a loving member of our family and a dedicated companion. He also works 5 days a week as a demonstration dog at Tri Mark Canine Services Obedience classes and travels with with me on business trips, around Ontario. Cracker is also a true companion to our son Shawnn, a friend, a loyal partner and virtual service dog for his special needs. This is what Goldens are all about!

St. John Ambulance knows there are few things in life that inspire as much joy in people as a wet nose and a wagging tail. Research has shown that visits from Therapy Dogs help people recover more quickly from surgery, and strokes and can reduce feelings of loneliness, depression and anxiety associated with an illness. The unconditional love of a Therapy Dog can also assist with prescribed therapy and lowering blood pressure. Each of the dogs in the program is carefully evaluated to ensure the best temperament for the task.

As a very active member of the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program, Roxy regularly visits the VON Seniors Day Out Program, Birmingham Lodge and a Group Home in Mount Forest as well as Caressant Care Nursing and Retirement Home & Community Living Minto in Harriston where she shares her love with so many beautiful people! On occasion she also visits patients in the Mount Forest Hospital. She is quite capable of discerning what needs to be done to make someone feel good! She can shake their hands, do a High-5, say 'Thank You' or 'I love you!" and she can even wave 'Bye Bye' as we leave. We have seen people's faces light up with joy, she has left smiles on the faces of people who were depressed when we arrived. We have seen incredible changes in many from when we first started visiting.

Roxy totally lives up to the Therapy Dog Motto: "Change tears into smiles...and help the forgotten to laugh"

Brodie came from our last Demi litter in 1999. She has been a busy girl and very active in a lot of different dog activities. Early on she was quite a contender in the Agility circuit with the legs and heart to give her the makings of a real champion. Unfortunately, due to medical issues she was pulled out of competition and for a few years had to take a back seat to younger and faster dogs in the Agility trials.

Where Brodie truly began to shine was in her career as a therapy dog. She has now been an active and busy Therapy Dog in Mississauga for many years. All the ribbons and prizes she might have won in Agility are nothing compared to the joy and happiness she has brought to so many lives as a Therapy Dog. Her love and attention, willingness to please and gentle spirit have made her a tremendous companion to those who could not otherwise enjoy the friendship of a great Golden. She even has an occasional limp that gives her a shared understanding of what it is like to grow old with dignity.

The home where she visits has even set aside a special day for Brodie, each year now they celebrate her birthday with cake and dog cookies.
