Bella is a wonderful example of our breeding program, out of the Freeze (Kiowa's A Place In Time MH, WCX *** OS) and Kota litter. She is owned and trained by Jeanie Swanson. This is what Jeanie has to say about Bella:
I was looking for an obedience dog for myself and a hunting partner for my family when we found Wildwing Goldens. While we were inexperienced with retrievers, others who knew the game were impressed at Bella's natural ability. I quickly learned that we had something special in our little girl and joke that Bella came to us already trained! At six months she was marking, retrieving and delivering to hand. Several months later we were at our first hunt test together. Bella flew through her JH title with 4 straight passes. She made her rookie handler look good! Then she passed her WC and WCX on the same day the following summer. Bella has proven herself to be a pin point marker with an incredible nose. She is willing to work tirelessly in the field all day. Bella continues to train for her SH.
Bella earned her CD in obedience in January 09. She is trained through CDX. Her eagerness to please, high trainability and her wonderful disposition have encouraged me to do some service dog training with her as well. Bella is truly a versatile dog and loved member of our family!
Following in her brother's footsteps, Bella won the 2010 Super Single Contest (Hunter Division) hosted by the Northern Flight Retriever Club at Marine on St. Croix. Bella made stylish retrieves on three separate and difficult marks, beating out a talented field of Goldens and Labs.
