CONGRATULATION TO OUR OWN
LYNNE & MARTIN BRIGGS & THEIR BOY BECKHAM

MAGRR is indeed very lucky to have Lynne Briggs representing us as our Intake Coordinator.   Lynne is one of a rare breed -- on the weekends she is a Golden enthusiast who trains Goldens, showing them in competition to demonstrate not only how lovely her babies are, but how smart, obedient and willing -- wonderful examples of our breed.  AND THEN she spends all week giving her time, her gasoline, and her heart to help unwanted, unloved and homeless Goldens!  It's a very rare combination -- one that is extremely hard to find.

Last month Lynne achieved a HUGE accomplishment with her Golden boy "Beckham".  In a Golden Retriever Specialty -- where only Goldens are shown and which draws the best of the best from all around the country, Lynne's "Beckham"  beat SEVENTY other male Goldens to win a FIVE POINT MAJOR!!!!  A dog has to win three majors of at least three points each to earn the title of Champion.  (This is his second major.)  Points are assigned based on the number of dogs competing and five point majors are really really rare -- just like our friend Lynne!  To win a five point major is TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!

Go to this link to see a picture of Beckham.  He is truly a beautiful boy.

MIDAS
Update

Midas has been in his foster home for several weeks and this boy is doing great.  He has settled in nicely with his Golden step-siblings.  He has lots of energy and his medication is absolutely no problem.  He doesn't mind the shots and they are very easily given.  His glucose seems to be regulated and he is just a fabulous boy.

This boy is truly a jewel!!!
