Ch. Winfield’s Magical Mystery Tour
      We co-bred Hoagie with our friends Rebecca Hillyer and John Riedl at Winfield Goldens.  Hoagie was our first home-bred champion and Cooper’s first American Champion.  We’d like to thank Hoagie’s owners for seeing him through to his championship – BJ handled him to all of his points except that last one!  He was an absolutely delightful dog to be around and had this uncanny ability to make you smile – just like his sire.  Hoagie will forever be in our hearts and his owners BJ Modrell and Greg Mosen of Woodinville, WA are keeping his memory alive through his kids and grand-kids.

OTCH Trillium’s Rock’n The Moon, UDX, OA, OAJ, RA, Can CDX
    What can we say about Charo that would pay homage to the greatness that she and owner/handler Kristi Crabtree have achieved?  She is our first home-bred obedience titled dog.  This team received a perfect 200 score at the EGRC Specialty in the summer of 2005 and attained their Obedience Trial Championship on November 13, 2004, going HC and HIT – all with their VERY proud breeder watching from the sidelines.  Together they have achieved multiple High Combined awards and 10 High In Trial.  Charo has also earned her Obedience Hall of Fame honors – a GRCA distinction given to only the BEST obedience dogs in the country.  Although Charo is essentially retired from the obedience ring, she is still challenging herself on the Rally course.  Charo is owned and loved by the Crabtree family of Arlington, WA.

Ch. Trillium’s Set the Moon A’Blaze
A strapping blonde, Blazer was Kelsey’s first Champion get and the first Champion for Bill and Barb Thornberry/Valor Goldens. He finished his championship with relative ease and had a captivating presence in the ring. He made a career after the show ring as chief spokesperson for Bill’s car dealership (http://www.thornberrysauto.com/ ) and his elegant type remains a standard in our breeding program. Our sincere appreciation to Blazer’s owners for seeing his potential and being part of our Trillium Goldens family. Blazer crossed over the Rainbow Bridge in March of 2008, but his memory lives on at Valor Goldens and in our hearts… forever.

Can. Ch. Winfield Imagine’s Mostabear
Maggie was from our first litter out of Cooper and Ch. Winfield’s Covergirl, co-bred with John Riedl and Rebecca Hillyer of Winfield Goldens more than 12 years ago. She was our first home-bred Canadian Champion and first group winning dog. She was also Best Puppy in Show and possessed lovely breed type. Maggie (along with her littermates Libby  and Hoagie was a perfect example of the phrase, “good things come in small packages.” Special thanks to Maggie’s owners Steve and Christine Grouhel/Mostabear for including Maggie in their lives and breeding program; and continuing to be our friends over the years and the miles between us. Maggie crossed over the Rainbow Bridge just after her 12th birthday in September of 2008 and while Mostabear no longer breeds Golden Retrievers, you can see Maggie’s incredible attributes through her kids, grand-kids and great grand-kids now being bred by our friends at Nadina Goldens in Fruitvale, BC. Rest in peace, “little one.”

  Ch. Trillium Go For the Gold, RE, AXP, OJP
 I met Carol Hanft at an agility trial many years ago – we both had Goldens named Cooper and it was our very special boys that brought us together as friends.  So when Carol mentioned she and Bob were looking for a “special” male puppy to bring into their home and carry on the tradition of their other Goldens in agility and obedience, I was thrilled and hopeful that I’d have that one “special” puppy to offer her.  It was obvious to me, right from the beginning, that Parker WAS that puppy and he later proved it!  In 2004 a trainer approached Carol about using Parker in the next Air Bud movie and when this fantastic opportunity came to fruition in the summer of 2005, Carol and Bob decided to let their sweet boy go to LA and then Vancouver, BC for more than 12 weeks to film Air Buddies, released in December of 2006.  I want to personally thank Parker’s family, Carol and Bob Hanft for being great friends over the years and for allowing Parker to realize his potential as a SUPERSTAR, even though it meant he would be away from them for so long…  Parker also finished his AKC Championship in style, with back-to-back majors and a Group 1 his first time out as a Special!  For more information on Parker, contact Carol Hanft at coopergold@yahoo.com

Trillium’s Indian Summer, CD
Indy is a big, blonde mush melon like his sire Strider. And fortunately for us, he is owned by Kristi Crabtree, our friend who together with Charo achieved greatness in the Golden Retriever world of obedience. Even though Indy achieved his Companion Dog title at the GRCA National Specialty in 2007, knowing Kristi it’s just the beginning! We look forward to hearing of all his successes in the ring!
