Our next breeding is still in the planning stages for 2027. Looks like it will be in California with our co-breeder Kim. We have co-bred with Kim twice now and she does an excellent job raising the pups the Avidog way. We fly out there for whelping, to see the pups, then test them when ready for placements and going home.
Our previous California pups bred with Kim were the Double Litter (2019) and the Outlaw Litter (2023).
Topmast Outlaw Hunt’n Chedda SH WCX
Cheddar is from the Outlaw Litter and is working on her Master Hunter. She has one MH pass on her first try at just over two. She will continue to show this spring & summer after she finishes up this heat cycle.
She’s a smart girl who has been owner handler trained easily thru Master level. She is biddable and eager to please.
She has all her OFA clearances and her DNA testing is clear on everything.
We are planning on breeding her to Tycho from Texas in late summer of 2027.
He is eager to train every day in whatever venue I choose—be it tracking, obedience, or field. Tycho has become remarkably skilled in each venue. He earned his TDX (Tracking Dog Excellent) at just 18 months, his UDX (Utility Dog Excellent) and OBHF (Obedience Hall of Fame) at 3 years, and has since finished his OTCH (Obedience Trial Champion). He has now passed 50 Master Hunter tests, earning him a place in the HTHF (Golden Retriever Hunt Test Hall of Fame). There are only two Golden Retrievers who hold both an OTCH and an HTHF, and Tycho is one of them. With his additional TDX title, he joins an elite group of just 13 Golden Retrievers to hold an OTCH, TDX, and MH.
His enthusiasm, style, and ability have brought high praise and compliments from tracking judges, obedience judges, and hunt test judges alike.
Tycho is very fast and literally ran both his TD and TDX tests. In field work, he runs very hard both on marks and blinds and is always eager to “go” for the next bird. His marking is excellent, and he is a true team player on blinds. He has his own style of returning with the bird by backing up into heel position—a move that often brings chuckles from judges and gallery.
Just as importantly, Tycho has a wonderful temperament and gets along great with dogs and people. While we watch TV, he joins us on the couch for petting and snuggle time. He travels well, does not bark at other dogs or people, and is not crate possessive—all vital qualities since we drive to field or obedience training several days a week in addition to traveling to weekend events.

Contact Topmast Goldens if interested in this breeding.
We expect nice looking, working puppies that should be able to settle easily. They should be smart, biddable, and want to work when asked. Both dogs have great temperaments and get along with other dogs easily.
Goose’s owner says that Goose settles easily in the house with her two young children, but he is ready to train at a moments notice. He is eager to learn new things once he understands what is needed from him. He is devoted to her. He will continue on towards his SH next summer and just finished his NA NAJ agility titles.

Lexi is the dam of our Rock & Roll Litter born in 2023. They are in great homes with several being first time owners and doing so well with their families. Lexi is a talented girl who just finished her HRCH, a first for Laura. She also has her SH and loves dock diving the best of all. She was a great mother with her last litter and we hope to repeat another great litter with her. She’s a beautiful girl who is also very sweet.
All our girls are Topmast Goldens and follow the Avidog breeding program with their breedings.
When we have a litter, it may be raised with Pat Swallows at Topmast Goldens in Michigan or with our co-owners. We have entered into co-ownerships with some of our puppy owners who share the same dream for the ideal hunting , performance, companion, and healthy Golden Retrievers. We do not believe any Golden should live in a kennel environment, we believe in the same breeding philosophy, and share the same dream for healthy, sound, athletic representatives of the breed.
