Rits "Crarae Descending Like a Dove on Perfect Peace"(Int Ch Xanthose Mondriaan SGWC CCA x Am Ch Crarae 4U2NV)Rits (aka Spirit) joined us here at High Country Critters in late Sept. 2021 as a 7.5 yr. old (intact) male. We acquired him from Angela Alberts with Perfect Peace Goldens in SD. Angela, and I have been long time friends in the world of breeding English Type Goldens and have similar tastes in what we like! As usual she hit the nail on the head with Rits. Angela is retiring from breeding which made Rits available, and I am sooooo glad she gave us first dibs on him. Rits is a gorgeous well- put- together boy, and his temperament is to die for! Angela did a great job with his training, he is so kind, calm, respectful and well behaved. He fit in here on the ranch as soon as he arrived... undeniable the most polite dog I have ever had, just an amazing boy all around. His breeder Carlo Nolte with Crarae Goldens aimed for perfection and got it. His English lines will blend well with my English girls, he goes back to my all time favorite English males that are already in the pedigrees of my females. We are talking Xanthos Apple Jack, Golmas Govenor, Standfast Angus, etc... I am thrilled to be able to keep those lines going for 20 yrs. already. Rits has all his breeding clearances, has 6 litters under his belt and the 7th is expected here with us and our 'mama Raylyn' any day now 1/25/22. Sure hope there is a little girl in there for us to keep!
