54 Dogs - 5 points; 59 Bitches - 5 points

Open Dog (25 competing)
"Strong, deepbodied, powerful dog with bone and feet
and short hocks. Beautiful return of upper arm.
Not the easiest dog to show and I give every credit
to his handler for her gentle and understanding touch.
He makes good movement look easy and unstrained."

"The Open Class winner went through today as a
quality example of breed type, soundness and correct proportion."

Best of Winners
"The Winners dog was Best of Winners
for his balance and steadiness and overall type."

~ Judge's Critique - Mrs. Virginia L. Lyne ~
(as per the 2006 Nov/Dec issue of the GRCC Golden Leaves)

"Best of Breed was a totally balanced,
Ch. Klaasem's Zoom Zoom Zoom,
who certainly lived up to his name.
He is sound, pleasing in head and expression,
with good bone and a beautiful set back of his upper arm.
He never let down and had so many
of the breed essentials for me today."

Zoom...what can I tell you about Zoom?



Well, quite simply, he's everything and more
than I could ever ask for in a Golden Retriever.

Not only is he a kind and handsome devil,
he's been a joy and a gentleman to show.

A Bit More About Zoom...

Hips, Elbows, Eyes & Heart Clear

Height 23 1/4" - Weight 78 lbs

Zoom is a moderately sized Golden Retriever
weighing 78 pounds and measuring 23¼".

His coat is slightly darker than medium gold
with blonde feathering.
Zoom carries a bit more coat than
I once wished for, yet, what he does carry
is manageable with good length and density.

He displays jet black pigment year-round,
with thick black eye rims, a solid black nose,
lips, pads, toenails, and as an added extra…
a few spots on his tongue.

Speaking of the tongue and teeth,
Zoom has a correct scissor bite,
full dentition and no dropped incisors;
however, he does have a sibling with a missing premolar.

One of Zoom's strongest features
is his front-end assembly, which offers
wonderful depth of chest, good length of upper arm
and a lovely laid-back shoulder.
All front-end components are set well beneath him.

A very balanced boy,
Zoom also has nice rear angulation
with a good turn of stifle and short rear pasterns.

Zoom's strongest feature
(with the exception of his pleasing head)
is quite simply his movement. Clean coming and going,
Zoom has an effortless, ground-covering side gait
that is driven by a powerful reach and drive.

His topline remains solid on the move and standing
and his tail carriage is straight off his back.

Last but not least, Zoom has a lovely temperament:
he's easy going; gets along with all
two and four legged creatures alike;
loves life; can be a bit of a goof at times;
nevertheless, a personality that is very easy to live with
and a temperament that is truly 'Golden'.

Zoom is available at stud to approved bitches.
Fresh chilled & frozen semen available.
