CH. NICOLOR CALYPSO BAGDAD Sire: CH. Saddleback Oberon O’Shea Dam: Nicolor Moana Calypso (click on images to enlarge) Bagdad without doubt is the dog who helped us discover our passion for breeding and dog shows. He was a true representative of the breed and a proud ambassador for the Golden Retriever. From typically English and Norwegian lines, his grandsire "Shea" CAN. BAD. CH. BIS Mjaerumhogdas Kyon Flying Surprise CDX OS is remembered as one of the top Goldens of his time, and one of the top producing sires in Canada in the 1980's and early 90's. Bagdad was our very first Champion. He earned his Canadian Championship at two years of age, and retired to reign as King and Master of the House, surrounded by his harem. He left us in 2003, leaving us with good memories which we will never forget. Bagdad, we miss you so much.
CH. SUNKOZI MATILDA AT MAESTRIA Sire: BISS,BIS Ch. Goldenkins Peter The Great CD Dam: Ch. Kyon Michelle At Sunkozi (click on images to enlarge) If Bagdad was the King, Mathilda was the Queen. She was the undisputed Leader of the Pack. She was respected by all, but even more important, she had the knack of making herself loved by all as well. She was an excellent mother and taught manners to her own puppies as well as the puppies of the other girls. She came to us from Beverly Farquhar of SUNKOZI Kennels. Beverly has become a close friend, and we are grateful to her for her help and advice. Her father Brutus  , had a long and tremendous career in conformation and obedience.
Mathilda earned her Canadian Championship in one weekend at Rimouski when she was eighteen months old. She also won several group placings. She was our foundation bitch and produced several Canadian Champions : Ch. Edelweiss Lets Tango in Paris Tango  and Ch. Edelweiss Michka Mesoka Michka  owned by Sonia Bergeron. Mathilda also won Best Brood Bitch twice at Specialties.
Mathilda was the perfect dog from all points of view. She left us recently, and has left an enormous hole in our lives. Thank you, Beverly, for letting us have this very special girl. Renée-Claude and Robert

Delphée
 Ch. St-Andrew Sunkozi Hit’n Run over a long and illustrious career, earned several Best in Shows and numerous group placings. He was without question an outstanding dog.
Delphee earned her Canadian Championship at the age of two years. She is a magnificent girl, but she prefers her freedom in the country to the rigours of the dog shows, so she earned her right to an early retirement once she obtained her Championship.
However, she was persuaded to come out of retirement a few times, and in 2002 won Best Female Veteran at the Canadian National Specialty. She produced two champions Ch. Edelweiss Blue Sky Mine Cecilia  et Ch. Edelweiss Sky’s The Limit Toby  .
Delphée is the most tireless and athletic dog in our kennel. She will retrieve a ball for hours if she can only persuade some poor soul to keep throwing.
