She did well in the show ring winning 3 challenges and quite a number of reserve challenges before 2yrs of age. We began trialing in Obedience 2004 in which Ivy is showing a natural ability.  At her first trial she won the Most Willing Worker and her first leg towards her CD title.  Ivy also won 1st place  in Novice Obedience at Golden Retriever Club of SA Champ Show restricted  trial and  ***TOP OBEDIENCE BITCH 2004*** (GRCSA).  Ivy finished her **CD** title with a score of 187pts with 7wk old puppies at home. She gained her Endurance "ET" title at the (GCSA) in 2005. 

In May 2004 Ivy had her first litter to Danny (CH Montego Mity Classy CD ET QC). She was a very proud first time Mum of 8 beautiful pups and late 2005 Ivy went for a trip to NSW's Buffalo Knls to meet the handsome sire for her 2nd litter Rian (CH Lawnwoods Rustic Rian UD (Imp UK),  Christmas Eve  she had 9 beautiful pups.   [click here to see some of Ivy's pups]  Ivy's Final litter in 2008 was once again to Danny and she proudly produced eight lovely pups.

Ivy's children are proving to be very sound with lovely temperament and are showing promise in the show and obedience rings.  In Ivy's three litters all the pups that have had their hips tested so far have scored well under 10 and have been clear with their other hereditary tests for our breed.

Ivy will retire here to a life of luxury playing with her children and grand children, greeting visitors and keeping the lounge warm.  Ivy has been such a sound dog over the years and her beautiful temperament has come through in her progeny I am very proud to have bred her.
