Aust Ch Giltedge Looking Fine N.SPRD
Information
Carrie is our resident goofball, always up to something that makes us laugh. Whether she’s doing her signature post-meal roll-around or smothering everyone she meets with love, her joyful presence is impossible to ignore.
She’s a confident yet calm girl who takes the world in her stride, tail wagging and heart wide open. Carrie especially lights up when there’s an adventure on the cards if the car door is open, she’s in it, ready to go wherever the road leads.
Still young, she’s already travelled far and wide, confidently stepping into show rings and soaking up every bit of attention along the way. She brings enthusiasm, charm, and a bit of cheekiness to everything she does, and we’re so excited to see all that she’ll do in the future.
Carrie is bred by Kim Handley at Giltedge Golden Retrievers and I am forever grateful to her for her ongoing support through my journey.

Critiques
10/10/2026 - Golden Retriever Club of Vic - Ms Melissa Loverock (UK)
"Mid gold lady in lovely coat and condition, presented well to enhance her eye-catching outline. She caught my eye on my first look. She has lovely substance and is still so very feminine. She has super bone and lovely neat feet. I liked her good length of neck which flows into a well laid back shoulder with correct length of upper arm. Her topline is level and with a correct tailset. She is mature and deep through her chest, with short couplings and a
good spring of rib. Her hind quarters were strong and well bent and she has lovely neat short hocks which she used well to power round the ring covering the ground with ease."

"A lovely bitch. Lovely head. Kind expression. Neck flowing smoothly into correctly laid shoulders. Good topline. Level topline. Hindquarters muscular with good second thigh. Good tailset. Good catlike feet. Good specimen."
06/08/2026 - 13th Golden Retriever National - South Australia - Ms Marjo Jaakkola (FIN)
"Strong yet feminine bitch with a pleasing head and expression. Good neck and topline. Good forechest. Lovely bone. Good depth of body. Good second thigh. Well angulated quarters. Moved well around the ring. Clean coming and going with a lovely tail carriage."
08/06/2025 - The Golden Retriever Club of NSW Show 2 - Miss A Cooper (UK)
"Loved this young girl, feminine head with kind expression, good length of neck flowing into well laidback shoulders, good length of upper arm placing the nicely boned front legs well under her body, level topline with short couplings, good bend of stifle with good width of second thigh, neat feet, well presented showing a clean balanced outline. Best Minor Puppy in Show."
