Ladybug
Goldstrike’s Big Sky Ladybug
Born January 31, 2022
Ladybug is a beautiful dark red golden that we got in the state of Montana! She is out of Skyriver's Semper Chance of Wildhorn, who belongs to Keith and Kathy Winch. He has a MH (Master Hunter) title and an Upland Hunter and HRCH (Hunting Retriever Champion) titles. He is a well-rounded sire for this little lady. Her dam is Stoneflys Madison River.
We have done preliminary clearances on hips and elbows, with the hips being Excellent, and now we have done the finals, in which hips are Good and Elbows are still normal.
She has lots of drive and is a quick learner. Ladybug has done amazing at learning to walk well on a leash, learning basic commands quickly, and even figuring out how the world around her works. She is super creative and intelligent and is fascinated by her feline companions, who she cares for deeply. One time, she dropped her treat on the floor as the cat was nearby. She then used her paw to swat the treat under her dog panel wall so the cat could have it. It was legitimately intentional, as she had to move the treat with multiple pushes from her paw. How sweet of Ladybug!
She enjoyed camping with us a lot when she was younger. She belongs to my daughter, April, and was raised at her place along with Zubee and even with Mollee for a little while. As you can see, she was sitting on the couch with Mollee up at a cabin in the mountains. She was an excellent outdoor dog who listened extremely well.
Ladybug is full of love that she always wants to give. She will try to be as close to you as possible and is always down to snuggle! She is a dog that does great with her doggy friends and loves to run around with them. She is very quick and always gets a lot of exercise, where she is able to play for a long time. However, at any point, she can easily wind down and just hang out near you or on your lap.
