Overview
Handsome, strong and tractable
Rory is the embodiment of what we hope for in a field golden retriever. He exhibits the build, color and beauty that always turns heads and brings comments. He is a very dark golden and some would say “red dog”. His field coat is smooth and flat virtually repelling burrs of all shapes and sizes making cleanup after any field work a breeze. He stands 24” at the withers providing excellent visibility in all afield situations, broad in the head and a very athletic body. Some of his best traits are not visible. He is very tractable - he is easy to train and gets new concepts easily. He breezed through finished training and gained his Hunting Retriever Championship title at age 2 passing every test entered. He is 100% amateur trained and handled. He is fast when sent yet very steady at the line and in the blind. He has no problem sitting quietly for hours, honoring other working dogs patiently and quietly waiting for his turn to retrieve. When it is his time, it is over quick and he is back patiently waiting for that next opportunity.
Why the name “Rory” ?
Red King

Rory in the spring of 2020 with a triple. This video was captured by Randy Teakall. Randy wanted to see him work and later bred his dog to Rory.
South Dakota finished water summer 2020 (Rory at age 2.5). Rory finished his HRCH title the day before.
Here I put Rory on Sit and stepped away to video his rock solid steadiness while 6 shots are fired (1 in the field, 1 at the line for each mark)
