Tanner was bred by Chris Miele (Cross Creek Goldens).

Tanner is a true type Golden Retriever, 24 inches tall and approximately 80 lbs. Being from slow maturing lines, Tanner didn’t fully mature and show his full potential until he was 7+ years old and continues to look great well into his veteran years.

HEAD: Overall typical English type head but requires a little more stop and greater depth of muzzle.

MOUTH: Full dentition and scissor bite.

EYES: Dark with good pigmentation.

COAT: Excellent coat texture (slightly coarse top coat and soft thick undercoat.)

CONFORMATION: Good length of neck that flows into a strong level topline and tail set. Shoulders are well laid back, resulting in correct front angulation. The overall picture is one of a well balanced dog with the rear matching the front.

MOVEMENT: Given the above, the movement is powerful with excellent reach and drive.

Tanner has been shown on a very limited basis as a Special but has had some great results.  In Tanner’s second weekend as a Special he was BOB and Sporting Group 2 – thank you judge Eugene Blake.  At the 2011 GRCA National Tanner gave us our biggest thrill to date by going 1st JAM – thank you breeder judge Barbara Pepper.  Tanner continues to be shown on a limited basis
as a Special – he has received multiple Group placements, BOBs, BOSs, and
Selects.  In November, 2012 Tanner earned
his Grand Championship with 6 major wins, 3 BOBs, a Sporting Group 2 and a
Sporting Group 3.
