Billy is our big pup. He is litteraly a big strong dog, but with the most kind and enthousiastic temperament. For me, he represents everything a Golden Retriever should be: a perfect example of the breed. He's an extremely calm dog at home, who loves to be cuddled, a perfect babysitter for both children and puppies; but at the same time, he's a tireless force when we're out working. He is out of our beloved Reema (Int & IT FT Ch. Think Twice Go Get It) and half brother to Chance (GB FT Ch. Think Twice Zero To Hero). He showed having great genetics when he was just 2,5 : he won his first trial, a novice breed stake in the UK and just a few days later became 2nd in a 2 day open breed stake behind his half brother Chance. Continuing his first season on the continent he managed a 2nd and a win in international field trials. Qualifying him for the Hungarian-Austrian Championship were he finished his season with a consistent 4th place. This was just the beginning of a brilliant career in both FT and WT. Billy is such a motivated and eager-to-work dog that he's one of the few exceptions to the rule, switching handlers without any problems; in fact, he was trained and handled by Pieter for the first three years of his career, and subsequently by me, Laura, winning with the both of us. What makes me happiest is seeing how he passes these tremendous qualities on to his offspring, leaving puppies who are super keen to work, excellent companions for their families, and balancing and strengthening perhaps slightly too soft characters from mother's side, not only in our discipline, but in others as well (retrieving, search and rescue, obedience, agility, etc...)
