Four goldens live here with us. Below them are the dogs behind our litters, with every health result and pedigree you can look up yourself.
We didn't pick these four to breed. We picked them because they're special to us. Tally, Shony, Bree and Angus live in the house with us.
Tally Dega · born Nov 2018
Our foundation dam. Retired, and mom to Bree and Shony.
Tally × Blaze · born Apr 2024
Mom of our December 2026 litter with Angus.
Maynard × Tally · born Jun 2022
Dad's constant copilot. If the truck is going anywhere, she's already in the passenger seat, and she's a total ham the whole way there.
Maynard's son
Lisa's little man and the heart of the house. Couch hog, snow lover, and the neighborhood's most efficient toy thief.
Every badge is an OFA result. Click OFA record to check it on ofa.org, or Pedigree for three generations.

Brassfire Prairie Fire's Light 'Em Up JH
Stands at Prairie Fire Goldens. Sired Tally’s April 2024 litter of thirteen, which gave us Shony.
What the letters mean: JH Junior Hunter · MH Master Hunter (MH30: 30 Master Hunter passes) · QA2 Qualified All-Age, twice · WCX Working Certificate Excellent · OS Outstanding Sire · ** placed in a field-trial Derby or Qualifying stake · *** reached Qualified All-Age status. GRCA's guide to field titles. CHIC means a dog's required health tests are all done and published, whatever the results; the results are the badges.
Shony was born right here on April 12, 2024, out of our foundation dam Tally Dega and Brassfire Prairie Fire's Light 'Em Up ("Blaze"). Blaze's sire is FC AFC OTCH TNT's Stanley Steamer, a field and obedience champion, and Tally brings the clean health and the steady, easy-going temperament we've built this whole thing around.
She loves the water, and she's just as happy sacked out on the couch after. Registered as Tally's Fools Gold, The Language of Love (AKC SS46691008). Her OFA results: hips Good, elbows Normal, eyes Normal, advanced cardiac (echo) Normal, and clear on all 11 DNA tests (CHIC #222819). Shony is paired with Angus for our litter expected December 2026.

Angus stands at Granite Rock Retrievers in St. Cloud, Minnesota. He's a Qualified All-Age field trial dog, an AKC Master Hunter, and a GRCA Outstanding Sire. Paired with Shony for our litter expected December 2026.
Yes, Angus and Shony share a grandfather. TNT's Stanley Steamer sired Angus's father and Shony's father, Blaze. We knew that going in. That one shared ancestor adds about 3% to the puppies' inbreeding coefficient (COI).
