1999 was a good year for the senior flyboy Robbie.
At age 8 1/2 he took Best of Breed in the AKC show at Cook Inlet.
Robbie went to the Golden Retriever National Speciality in Sept and placed 4th out of a large group of 22 seniors..
Robbie added two SKC titles(national and International) to his name in 1999 also going back to back Best in Shows under judges Barbara Mazgil and Barbara Lipsky.
Robbie also competed in the IABCA International shows and received V-1 ratings as a veteran and as a special. Robbie was Best Veteran in Show all four days.. One of the judges, Honey Glendinning a well respected Canadian judge described Robbie as quote "The PERFECT Golden" unquote. |

Of course we know Robbie is perfect:-)So glad the judges recognize the same.
Robbie will be 9 in the year 2000 who KNOWS what this guy will do? He just keeps getting better and better and better...
Robbie is hip, elbow, eyes and heart clear.
Robbie basks in the autumn glow! |

Happy Birthday, Robbie! Born 7/19/1991
Robbie looks so innocent in this picture! He is a pretty good boy now that he is 9 years old, but he was a wild one when he was younger. |

Robbie is still going strong at 11 1/2 in 2002.
