Every now and then we choose a "Cover Dog" for our site. When we have a dog that achieves a Championship, performance title, some other major achievement, or is just SPECIAL in some way, we will provide an "attaboy" that explains what makes that "Cover Dog" so great. If you are a member of GGPWCF, and you have a dog that deserves some special recognition, please e-mail our GGPWCF Webmaster, and we will tell you what we need to post your dog's information. This time we have another of the wonderful "Golden Road" corgis; meet PEARL! To see the previous cover dogs, please click here.
“Pearl”
Ch. Golden Road’s Love of Pearls UD RN
(Greenforests Dotti West x Ch. Tallyrand’s No Greater Love)
Pearl was born in February 1999, our first litter born at our new place in the country we named Golden Road Farm. When she was born we exclaimed that she was wearing a pearl necklace as her collar looked like a single pearl on a string around her neck, and she became Pearl from that moment on.
I’m quite proud that Pearl earned her Championship title with 4 majors all under breeder judges. She was a wonderful mommy dog and many of her children have won titles of their own, including Pebbles of Golden Road RE PT UD, Golden Road’s Miss Ella Fitz RA HT AX AXJ, Golden Road’s the Gardener HSAs NAJ and Golden Road’s Silver Medley HSAs RN.
Pearl thrilled us all at our recent GGPWCF Specialty. She won High in Trial in the Obedience trial with a fabulous score of 198 from the Open B class. Looking back at the last six years of our Specialty, Golden Road dogs have won this honor five times! The following day she won the Veteran Bitch class and an Award of Merit. The judge proclaimed her Best Veteran at the banquet, completing a most memorable Specialty show for us.
A few weeks after the Specialty Pearl earned her Utility Dog title – our dream finally realized. Pearl didn’t start her Obedience career until the age of five and the Utility Dog title has been the most difficult for us to achieve. I’m so proud of her! We’re jumping right in to work on the UDX degree.
If you ask Pearl, eating cookies is her top priority and she’s most happy cuddling on the couch with us. She does love to train and travel with me, and is the most wonderful companion anyone could ask for.
