Good morning. Thank you for featuring Birdie. I am his breeder and am very proud of him. (And Annika)
I would like to make a small correction , if I may, though in your text. Birdie is a golden retriever. His shade of gold is cream. He is not an “English cream golden retriever” 😉 This is a misnomer. There is only one golden retriever breed. But the breed comes in a rainbow of shades of gold. Birdie’s shade is at the lighter end of this spectrum. 😀
Thank you again for finding Birdie.
