MEET RUGER

Ruger is from JHW Ranch Goldens in Gober, TX! Per Embark, he is a long fringed, non-shedding male. He was born October 2019.

Ruger has a red silky coat with lighter fringe. He has the perfect proportions for the show coat breed standards with long red fringe. Ruger is intelligent and loving—a true golden boy. He likes to sit back while the girls jump and take it all in. He can be protective in a playful way. Ruger is not afraid of loud noises, and he became the "man of the yard" at just 11 months! We joke that he could win a certificate for master digger.

MEET KOPPER

Kopper is one of our studs here in Lubbock. He belongs to the Smith’s. He is deep red boy with a thick, full coat, broad forehead, and is well proportioned, per breed standards. Weighing 70-75 lbs and standing about 24” tall, he is large and athletic.

He handles correction well, and has a wonderful attitude towards retrieving. He is a powerful dog, with a thick coat that protects him well in the field while remaining easy to groom. He is extremely friendly with people, especially children and other dogs, obedient, and intelligent. He loves to cuddle, and doesn’t have a mean bone in his body.

MEET MAX

Max is one of our studs here in Lubbock. He belongs to the Phelps family. He is a show coat golden who lives here in Lubbock. He had one litter with Peanut in 2019. He has the standard golden colored coat with lighter feathering, and his breed-standard broad skull (blocky head) and light brown eyes add to his good looks. We are grateful for the love and fun he brings to our family!

Max loves life and his family! He is happiest when playing fetch, taking walks, and getting loved on by his humans. He aims to please, so he is very obedient and easily picks up on new tricks and skills. As unbelievable as it sounds, he has never been a chewer, even as a pup. Max is patient and sweet around children— loving the attention he gets from his family’s 20 month-old daughter.

OUR ANGELS

TUCKER
2009 - 2020

Tucker was our original stud here at Panhandle Golden Retrievers. He was born in February of 2009. The Rollins looked all over for a dark golden and finally found him at Hunter’s Gold Strike in Windsor, Colorado— He was the last one of his litter. We spent a few days in Colorado after we got him. As we walked around Breckinridge, Tucker would lie down and fall asleep if we stopped for too long. That’s how he got his name- he was always “tuckered out”! He loved us and enjoyed being with us. We met Lynn Loper and Laika at Petsmart one day, and that started everything. Tucker and Laika made some adorable puppies. Tucker visited the Lopers when they got Peanut and wanted to breed her. They produced another great litter of pups. Tucker really loved Peanut. He pined away for her for a month after he came home. He wouldn’t eat or settle down and he would go to the door and whine for her! Tucker was a wonderful specimen - never sick or any health problems. A few months before we lost him, Tucker developed some small tumors at the base of his tail. We had them removed, fearing cancer. He did heal from that, but he apparently had more going on than we realized. On the evening of New Years Day , we noticed he wasn’t moving very much and didn’t want his daily pill. He couldn’t stand up, so we rushed him to Lubbock. There was nothing they could really do for him (internal bleeding from a ruptured spleen), so we had to make that horrible decision and say goodbye. It was so sudden and unexpected. We still miss him so very much but are so thankful to stay in contact with all of his grand-puppies.
