When we were looking for a companion dog for our little puppy (Alice) we contacted the kennel Sanitacteam Day in Serbia. Alice’s mother is also from Serbia. She said she had a English Golden Retriever female that she needed a home for. Her owner was moving to Russia and couldn’t take her with her. That same weekend they were able to complete her championship in Bulgaria. She now has the title National Champion of Republic of Bulgaria. Since Tina had been around children, it was a good fit to be around our daughter Johanna. It was also a bonus that she is a Bulgarian Champion Golden Retriever. Her hip clearance is HD-A and elbow clearance is ED-0. That’s the best possible score that can be obtained. After arriving in America she also competed in IABCA dog shows earning her International Championship.
While with us, Tina was our alpha female matriarch and began our path of breeding golden retriever puppies. As human pack members we consider ourselves the alphas in our pack, but she was our alpha k9. She was our teddy bear dog, and loved to put her head in our lap but not necessarily all in our face. She took care around Braeden more than any of our other goldens, even pawing at him when he played with her.
We recently have retired her, and she is now living with her furever home. It is my hope that she brings much happiness to her final home as she did in ours. Below is a few photos of Tina.
