Retriever Rescue

I lost my goldie boy Ben when he was 6. We got a puppy - toby who is now almost 2 years old - i love golden retrievers and had never really thought of a girl to go with toby.... until I was at Jans and when I asked if she had any oldies needing a home she said she had.

It turned out that she had a 9 year old called Jade - now amber. Well I had never even thought of a female but we came the next day to have a look at her - I say to have a look a little tongue in cheek - she was coming home regardless!

I knew that this old girl had had a rough time of it, being thrown out in the floods etc and was in a bit of a state and I have to say when we saw her for the first time that momentary what on earth are we doing must have flashed through both our minds...

That aside - if you are thinking of having another goldie to go with your boy, please dont dismiss a girl - they are amazing! Amber is the most loving, affectionate girl there is - a right little character in her own way, and whilst totally different than toby- she is every bit as special as toby in every way..

And Toby and Amber very quickly became inseperable!!

What a wonderful picture, i love the way they snuggle up together so so sweet.
I will keep you posted as to what i decided to do

We've always had girls, and without a doubt Cobi is the most loving and affectionate one to date, she is 'over the top' with her love for us, Abigail was very affectionate, very similar to Cobi in nature. Ginnie has just starting to realise what she is missing when Cobi clambers up onto my lap, Cobi flips herself over and just lies in your arms, looking down on Ginnie and gloating...so Gin will empty the toy box and then it's playtime....
