Wheaton Kennel Club Wheaton, IL

Judge: Mrs. Debbie Campbell

Must be kismet or something - as down in Illinois on the same day, the Malagold gang is doing some winning as well -

Brew (CH. Malagold Brewmaster) goes out and wins the Best of Breed ribbon - his first weekend out as a Special. He is certainly on the move! But not too far ahead of Demi (Happy Hour Malagold Strip Tease), who adds another point to the tally towards her Championship title. What a team these two make!

And making a great show of it her first time in the ring was little Country Sunshine - Malagold Country Sunshine - earning a first place ribbon in her class.

What a great way to perk up a weekend!

Lake Minnetonka Kennel Club Waconia, MN

Judge: Mr.Douglas A. Johnson

Neither foul weather, long drives or mud slides can keep the show people and their dogs home - and so Malagold Cedar's Country Road hit the highway for the Minnesota. And it was worth the trip as Denver went Reserve Winnier's Dog to a five point major - showing like a trooper in mud up to his elbows!

A NEW CHAMPION AT MALAGOLD!!

Demi (Happy Hour Malagold Strip Tease) did not let that overshadow her. Demi pulled out all the stops and was in there for the ribbons for Winners Bitch and the three point major, making sure to keep Brew company on that Winners podium!

The summer show season is starting out in grand fashion at Malagold!

Mrs. Lynette Blue

Anyone who knows the Malagold Kennel, visits the Malagold website or sends email to Malagold, probably knows Laurie, and knows that besides the Goldens in her life, she has this passion for those "white dogs". One has always been with Laurie and her Golden Family. A new little addition was made to Laurie's family and "Riker" has arrived from Lynette Blue's Polar Mist Samoyed Kennel in Bend, Oregon.

Keep an eye out for updates on Allie's new friend. At only ten weeks of age, Riker has much to learn from his "Golden Mentor" - Malagold's Tornado Allie. But Allie has a big challenge ahead of her - this little guy has spunk!

The new addition to Laurie's family - Polar Mist War Admiral - "Riker" at ten weeks.

It was a Clean Sweep for the Malagold crew. Malagold Salute To Cheers won the blue ribbon from the puppy class, but Malagold Brewmaster showed Salute that he is not the king of the hill yet - Brew took the Winners Dog ribbons and was very happy to do so!!

Brew and Demi - What a team!!

But - as we all know - the Girls at Malagold are really something, and Demi showed the boys how it is truly done!! Happy Hour Malagold Strip Tease earns Winners Bitch and then takes the Best of Breed honors as well.

And for Brew? Best of Opposite Sex!! He will have to take a back seat to Demi on this day!

Demi knows how to strut her stuff...

The Malagold Gang is at it once again!

Salute takes the first place ribbon in the Puppy Class, but has to sit back to watch the Master - Malagold Brewmaster - go to work. Brew earns the ribbons from the Bred By Exhibitor Dog class, and goes Winners Dog!

It is then Demi's turn to show the boys how the Malagold Girls do it - and Happy Hour Malagold Strip Tease takes the ribbons for Winners Bitch.

What a little "Teaser" - our Demi!

When it comes down to the wire, though, experience pays off and Brew take the Best of Breed win and the Best of Winners ribbon, But Demi gives him a run for his money and earns the Best of Opposite Sex honors on this day!

The Malagold "Master" - Brew!

What a great day for the Malagold team!

Deer Park, IL

The Photo Store

OK - so they had nothing better to do and heard that there was going to be a celebrity making a surprise visit to the local mall, so Laurie and Allie got into the car and drove down to see what the fuss was about. And who do they meet up with? None other than the Big Guy himself - Scooby-Doo!!

Allie was star-struck! So we stood in line with all those excited and screaming kids - Allie, of course did not make such a fool of herself - and waited to have her picture taken with the almost seven foot tall Scooby-Doo!

Malagold's Tornado Allie and her "really big" screen idol - Scooby-Doo!

Salute placed fourth in the 6-9 Month Puppy Dog Sweepstakes Class - out of an entry of 25, and then went on to WIN the 6-9 Month Puppy Dog Class - out of an entry of 27 puppies! Special thanks to Melissa Davis for all her work in helping Salute grow into a wonderful boy! Many cheers to Salute! (picture coming soon!)

Malagold's Lady Liberty, co-owned with Tom and Mary Schulz, took home the fourth place ribbon from the Bred By Exhibitor Class, with a class entry of 26. We are all SO proud of Libby!

The senior Malagold dogs were represented with a lot of grace and due respect. With 11 dogs in the Veteran Sweepstakes Dogs Class (8 years and under 10 years), CH. Malagold Take A Stand (Stuart) earned a third place ribbon. Stuart also went on to compete in the Veteran Dogs Class (8 years and under 10 years), taking home the second place ribbon. The seniors always make us so proud!

Malagold in the Field !! Congrats to Kathryn Newman Bornhofen and Malagold Augusta's Genuine Article (Levi) for earning his Working Certificate title at the National this year as well - way to go Levi and Kathryn!!

Levi and his mom, Kathryn Newman Bornhofen

We at Malagold wish to send additional Congratulations to Jon and Kathy Chase of Mariner Kennels on their being awarded the CH. Amberac's Asterling Aruba Trophy - for the THIRD time!

Mariner Lil' Sister By Tempo will now retire this trophy. What an honor for Jon, Kathy and their wonderful girl, Sissy!

Malagold had a GREAT showing at the National this year! And a lot of fun! Thanks so much to this year's judges and the Golden Retriever Club of Greater Los Angeles for hosting a wonderful 2004 National Specialty!

YAY - the girls take it all!

But -

The boys are not out of the running. Katherine Bornhoffen's favorite Malagold boy, Levi (Malagold Augusta's Genuine Article), wins the first place ribbons from the Bred By Exhibitor Dog class, but watches as his little buddy, Brew, earns his first point going Winners Dog from the Puppy Dog 12-18 Month class.

That is quite OK, as Brew continued in the Malagold winning tradition to go Best of Winners and take the Breed! His first point and his first Best of Breed win!

But Brew is not finished for the day as he competes in the Sporting Group in the afternoon - earning a GROUP 3 placement! The first group placement for the baby Brewski!

Brew - his first Sporting Group experience!

What a great day for the Malagold kids and a great evening of celebration and fireworks!

Connie, Aubrey and Kade

A relaxing day was spent out in the back woods as Aubrey tries to teach some of the Malagold dogs to create "Snow Dog" angels - but as you can see, she is not all too successful in her attempt, although the dogs are very willing to play any other form of "Cover Aubrey in Snow"!
