Dezzie's very first puppy picture

Dezzie and friends at 19 days old

Dezzie at 5 weeks

Dezzie at 7 weeks, after her temperament evaluation. During the test, she showed that she was a 'live wire" eagerly seeking human interaction, following closely, retrieving and returning and attacking the prey object. However, she exhibited a lower pain threshold, ability to settle and recover quickly and willingness to accept new situations and human dominance, which made her a perfect candidate for training and performance competition. With the promise of her personality and conformation, she exhibits all the characteristics of a true triple-purpose golden, bred from healthy stock to conform to the breed standard with the ability to work in the field and show in the ring. But above all else, she is a wonderful companion with personality "plus" and a sense of humor and adventure. And she makes me smile. In this picture she is showing her "Who, me? I am not capable of doing any wrong" face.

No, don't put the puppy away... THE PUPPY WANTS TO PLAY...

Dezzie at 10 weeks, "poofy" after grooming, but refusing to stand pretty and show off her structure for the picture. 
Thanks Lynn (and Mesa) for the bath and blow dry!
