When my mom graduated from college, her father gave her a Lalique Puppy Crystal named Sugar. She LOVED it and said the next dog she’ll have will definitely a Golden Retriever named Sugar. Her wish came true.

 

I was the smallest of my litter. 

“So Sweet” were the first words of my family uttered when they saw me.
 My sire (doggy dad) is Wherley’s Sour Mash who was a champion retriever in many field trials. The last accomplishment Mash achieved was 2nd place at the Great Outdoor Games. Sadly, Mash passed away September 2002.


My dam (doggy mom) is Sierra Red River Magic on the Water. Sierra past away two years ago. 
I’m a doggy female look-alike Sierra. 
Can you see the similarities?


My family decided to commemorate my 
doggy parents, Sierra and Mash.
Si is from Sierra and Ma is from Mash = SIMA

Why a Golden Retriever?


Starting in the early 1800, the Golden Retriever breed was appreciated for their rugged, mid-size stature, and athleticism. Originally admired as a hunting breed, a Golden’s trainability allows them be great service, guide, therapy and family dogs. 

Enough of that…:-) We wanted a breed that could be a great companion. The kind of companion that we can bring to places that we go. People say dogs teach us and help us in life’s journey……we believe it! Sugar is that special companion for us in our lives.

Sugar was the smallest in her litter but has the heart to explore and face challenges head on. We confirmed this by seeing her conquer her fear of water. Sugar was only 10 weeks when her curiosity first introduced her to water in a kiddy pool.  She wade in the shallow and ventured to stick her head under water. She LOVED it!  By 8 months, we took her to the lake. The waves were cresting at 3ft and we could not believe what we about to see. Sugar backs up on beach, gathers herself and launches towards the wave. She dives right into the wave and swims back.

We were at awe! Getting water in her nose causing her to choke, she surprised herself. After shaking it off and clearing her nose, her tail started wagging and looked to at us to take another shot at the waves.
