Jim was directed to the Wettlauf- er's kennels through. a fellow •breeder, Vivian Muller, who has a site on the World Wide Web.

Seg -Mar is currently setting up its own Homepage and Melissa Wett- -laufer used E-mail to talk hack and forth with the Peys in California. A 10 --year veteran breeder, Me- lissa• took over the business from her father. who operated the ken- nels in the Stratford area for more than 30 .years. The bloodline has been proven both in field and obe- dience trials and the Golden's make excellent family pets as well as working dogs. Some have been selected to he trained as special needs dogs for the physically chal- lenged and the deaf. Melissa says her Goldens are well suited to family life because of their loyalty, adaptability and an eagerness to please. As a sensitive and social animal. Goldics find their place as genuine family mem- hers. "You just can't help it," says Me- lissa of the close relationship that develops. "They become part of the family." People with all types of lifestyles find Golden Retrievers to be good pets. The Peys were looking for an. intelligent dog that likes chil- dren and could keep up with their veru active lifestyle. With the adorable 12 -week old puppy in their arms, it was clear to see the California family had found their perfect match with Casper. ' Melissa: and husband Glen will , miss the pup and each of his eight - brothers and sisters as they do with each litter. Still, with eight adult dogs and four remaining puppies, they have their hands full.
