What's New at Rose Tree Goldens?
2021 - Off to a GReat start with Ginny & Romeo! I was so excited to hand over Romeo's lead to the fabulous Ginny Kincer at the start of the year to see what these two could do together as a specials team. What a ride it's been so far! Grand Champion with 5 majors in just 6 weekends of showing, multiple Group placements, Best In Specialty Show at the Sandlapper Golden Retriever Club specialty, a Top 10 golden every month so far this year, all systems. Many Best of Breeds, JAMs, and Select Dog awards from very respected breeder and all breed judges alike. Many smiles and happy tears, and most importantly many new friendships earned along the way! Thank you to all of those who have encouraged me to go for my dreams and for cheering us on along this year. Next stop for Romeo: showing at the Westminster Kennel Club in June...a lifetime dream of mine that I am so grateful to be experiencing!
5.4.2020 - Sitting at home during COVID and missing our dog shows, so we decided to have some fun and earn Nala and Romeo's Trick Dog Novice titles this afternoon. They passed via video submission with flying colors and I got my title fix for the month LOL!

Nala is now IntJrCH NatJrCH Rose Tree's Circle of Life CGC TKN
2.15.20 - Tesla wins a 5 point major in West friendship, MD by going WB & BOW on the heels of Westminster! Wow, what an exciting feeling to be standing ringside for that one. Thank you to judge Elaine Lessig for finding Tesla in a gorgeous line up of almost 30 bitches, and to handler Lexie Ditlow who was piloting Tess for the very first time while her regular handler is out on maternity leave. Tesla is now sitting at 12 points and is major pointed. One more major to go and this pretty girl is a champion...so exciting!!
12.12.19 - Drum roll please...
Introducing: AmCH Dalane Rose Tree Whirlwind Romance RN CA CGC!
We have a new champion in the house! Romeo finished his AKC championship in high style during the Royal Canin cluster in Florida, going Best of Breed from the classes in an entry of 149 GORGEOUS goldens, including almost 50 specials with several of the nation's top ranked dogs. He finished up his remarkable day by making the cut in a phenomenal Sporting Group line up that boasted multiple #1 ranked dogs. What an exciting journey this young boy has taken us on in such a short time. We cannot wait to continue the fun with Romeo in 2020. Huge thank yous to handler Ginny Kincer for finishing our boy's championship and to judge Alessandra Folz for this honor!
12.4.19 - 12.6.19: Tesla had quite the three day run at the Winter Blast Cluster shows in Oaks, PA! All three days were in the 12-18 month class. Wednesday Tess went Winners Bitch, Best of Winners, and Best Opposite Sex to her Grandpa Tank! Thursday she again went Winners Bitch and onto Best Opposite Sex to Tank. Friday she ended her show cluster in style by going Winners Bitch, Best of Winners, and onto Best Of Breed over specials!! Just two dogs short of major...darn! She made it down to the final line up in Sporting Group against some VERY nice dogs and held her own in the big league. Not even 18 months old and the judges are consistently finding her. I just LOVE our spunky girl. She has so much ring presence and has that "look at me" factor. Go Tesla!
November was the month of AKC conformation placements and suffix titles here at Rose Tree! Tesla is sporting two new titles... CGCA and TKN (Community Canine & Trick Dog Novice) and won her huge 12-18 month class at the AKC National Dog Show in Oaks, PA. Romeo went big and earned his RN, CA, and CGC (Rally Novice, Course Ability, & Canine Good Citizen) titles in two days down in Perry, GA while also placing three days straight in the Open Dog conformation class! Thank you Ginny Kincer and Cindy Price for your help as always. Go #TeamRTG #TeamRomeo #TeamTesla
Someone pinch me!!! ROMEO...Dalane Rose Tree Whirlwind Romance...goes 3rd in Open Dog at the 2019 GRCA National Specialty! I am so beyond amazed at this boy and grateful for all the hard work that everyone has put in to get us here...Courtney for transforming Romeo into a show dog, Ginny for taking the lead and making his presence known to the world, Romeo's breeder Jane for having faith in me, and our friends who have supported me and my dog from the start. I knew there was something special about this boy when I laid eyes on him and I feel so blessed to call him mine. What a true underdog story for both of us and we just keep on keepin' on! So excited to get our names out there with this boy. He is so deserving and absolutely LOVES the attention. #TeamRomeo
9.10.19- Tesla says "I'm still doing the show dog thing, too!" ;) Miss Tess has been busy winning her class at almost every show she's been entered in, including the Garden State GR Club Specialty. She was also awarded a major RWB at Ludwig's Corner! My girl is coming into her own and catching the judges' eye consistenty from the puppy classes. Cannot wait to see how Tesla looks once she matures a bit!
Wow wow wow...Romeo continues to shine! WD & BOW in Morristown, NJ in three straight shows for 3 more points (9.1.19 & 9.2.19); WD in Macungie, PA for 1 point on 9.14.19 - officially singled out in just over a month of showing! Romeo then took a few weeks off to be a couch potato before heading off with Ginny Kincer in early October to prep for the GRCA National in California. In their first weekend out together, Romeo earned himself a 3 point major down in TN! He now just needs one 3pt major to finish his AKC championship with extremely limited showing. Good luck at the GRCA National Team Romeo!

12.1.18 / 12.2.18 - After taking November off to just enjoy being a puppy, Tesla was back with style & had a fabulous last weekend in AKC 4-6 Puppy at the West Friendship show cluster in Maryland.
