Zeus was born February 12, 2004 and was imported at 8 weeks old from Golden Rose Bay's in Belgium. He has an outstanding pedigree. Zeus is the son of Sh. Ch. Goldenquest Ambassador, Crufts 2004 Best of Breed Winner as well as Top Winning Golden Retriever in the U.K. for 2004. Crufts is the largest dog show in the world.
Zeus's maternal grandsire is the famous European Champion Standfast Angus.
Zeus is a moderate built male - just under 23" at the shoulder and weighing approx. 76 pounds. He has a beautiful head and nice expression. His coat is short and thick and cream in color. Zeus has black pigment year round. He has an outstanding disposition - perfect for the conformation show ring as well as obedience.
Zeus has been active in both obedience and conformation. We look forward to his debut in the show ring this winter and Spring.
We can not thank Golden Rose Bay's and Glitters enough for this amazing boy!!!
