On January 12, 2008 Carrie, Wanda, and I drove down to Leander, Texas to pick up Teddy. I purchased “Teddy,” Am CH. Ducat Watermark Thnkful 4 Teddy Bear, from Helen Dorrance of Ducat Golden Retrievers and Mary Tatum D.V.M. of Watermark Retrievers.

Helen took a chance on a newbie and I am forever grateful to her! Teddy took a while to mature, but when he did he turned into a beautiful boy! Janice Hayes beautifully showed Teddy to his AKC Championship. Teddy and Janice quickly picked up all his points and 1 major within 3 months. Then Teddy held out for 6 more months to get that last major. He is my first Champion and I love my big Bear to pieces.

Teddy most importantly displays an easy and loving temperament, a true Golden Retriever temperament. His name truly fits his personality, as he is a Big Teddy Bear.

Standing 24 inches at the shoulder, his length from prosternum to ischium is 26 1/4 inches, and he weighs around 75 lbs. Teddy is an elegant blonde dog. Teddy has many correct features. He has a magnificent head with a correct broad flat backskull. A wonderful stop leading to a thick square muzzle and a strong underjaw. Teddy has a perfect scissor bite, with full dentition and no dropped incisors. Teddy has a kind and gentle expression with soft dark brown eyes.

He has a solid topline standing and on the move, good angulation in the rear and an outstanding front assembly, correct length of upper arm, good prosternum, and well-laid-back shoulder. A nice short loin. He has ample bone and a correct coat. Wonderful reach and drive and is clean coming and going. There is no wasted movement with this boy. He just keeps getting better with age!

Teddy is retired from breeding. Frozen semen is available to approved bitches. Please contact me for a stud contract.
