Yogi is a lovely young boy with a kind and intelligent temperament. He is exceptionally trainable. Easy to handle and show, he has the makings of a special sire. With our foundation girl, Charlotte and the lovely Maddox behind him, his kind and balanced nature makes him a good family dog and working companion. For now he competes regularly in the show ring, dabbles in retrieving and tracking training and enjoys his time spent between our home and his wonderful guardian family. He is smart, quirky and fun. A beautifully built boy with a lovely head and strong even movement. He truly is a very loved boy with a bright future ahead of him.
Yogi was placed highly in the 2024 Golden Retriever Specialty show and his critique is below.

Smokeshow, the name says it all! We had the wonderful opportunity to breed to the long admired stud, Saint. Going back to our mentor and using her beautiful boy with our outstanding girl, Charlotte, the result was a litter of pups we are most proud of. Solid, well built cookie cutters with gentle and confident temperaments. The Spooky pups continue to delight us as they mature. Smokey was a standout from the start. His beautifully balanced frame, impressive angles and lovely head had us all excited. He is an easy and calm companion in the house who loves a cuddle and regulates his energy to suit his environment. He is a loyal guy who will do anything we ask of him. He loves to watch tv with us the most though. He continues to mature just as we thought he would with a solid, balanced frame, a lovely topline and front and lovely size.
Our small town Smokeshow will contribute very positively to the breed in his future.

Nice young lad who has a lovely outline and is very elegant. Most attractive head and expression of lovely pigment. Excellent neck, which is well set on good front angulation, good bone for size, could have better feet. Nice ribs, strong topline, tail is a bit high on the move, very strong behind, moves really well. Nice coat, well presented and handled.
