We established Scion Golden Retrievers in 1992. With each passing year we have grown to appreciate the Golden Retriever breed more and more. Specifically, we adore the Golden temperament. Their willingness to please. Their exuberance. Their playfulness. Their friendliness. I could go on and on. Due to this, the focus of our breeding program is on breeding correct temperament. To me that is the true essence of what a Golden Retriever is. It is what Scion Golden Retrievers strives to produce.
Over the years we have dabbled in obedience, agility, hunt tests and conformation. Due to time constraints we have spent most of our recent years doing conformation. However, we are hoping to get back to hunt test training when my husband retires. While we have enjoyed all of the venues, there is something very special about watching a Golden Retriever at work.
Scion Golden Retrievers is proud to have owned, bred or co-bred over 50 conformation Champions. As well, we have produced many who have earned performance titles.
I have listed below some of the Golden Retrievers that I have owned, bred or co-bred who have earned recognition for achieving Top rankings in the Golden Retriever breed. In addition, I have listed those who have been awarded exceptional wins. It should be noted that in order to qualify for the Top 20 competition the Golden Retriever has to be ranked in the Top 20 for our breed in the entire country. This is quite an accomplishment when you consider that thousands of Golden Retrievers compete in conformation every year. We are very proud to have been a part in producing these Golden Retrievers. Above all, we want to thank their owners for having achieved so much with their companions.
