River Ranch's Golden Boy, "River", owned by Sharon Harkrider, received his HRCH (a UKC title) on Sept. 22, 2002 at Colorado River Retriever Club.  He is 28 months old.  He may be the youngest Speaker pup to receive this title. Sharon writes "We have worked very, very, hard for this and WE are truly on "Cloud 9."  We are off to the GRAND in October.  I don't know about that accomplishment but we will give it our best shot.  We will now try to finish our Senior title and then on to Master.  I am soooo excited."  Congratulations and best wishes from the Speaker family!

right!  Click here to read his story.
