My other Golden Retriever, Blaze

Lindy's Blazing Inferno AKC/CKC CDX JH MX MXJ NJP WC FDCH 6/5/93 - 7/14/09

Blaze was the first born and the last to go in a litter of eleven wonderful pups. She was active for all but he last three weeks of her 16+ years. An assortment of age-related maladies teamed up to take her from us.

Blaze was a decent obedience trial dog, earning CDX in both the US and Canada. She was a very good pheasant dog, and, despite her tendency to play in the water too much, managed to earn a junior hunter title and a working certificate. She loved flyball and, of course, agility. She competed in regular classes through 2007, and graduated to preferred in 2008. Her last title was novice jumper preferred, which she earned shortly after her fifteenth birthday. The picture was taken on June 5, 2009, her sixteenth birthday. Her loss followed Smokey by just five days. Our home is now empty, and I have lost my favorite office assistant.
