PUK QUALIFIED FOR THE 2018 MASTER NATIONAL
AND FOR THE MASTER AMATEUR INVITATIONAL
The first thing to say about field is that in December, 2011, when he was only a year and a half old Puk earned his first field title, the WC, which is a GRCA title. Also on that day he was awarded the Faye Simpson Award, of the Mid-Florida Golden Retriever Club, for the dog who most exemplifies the attributes of a Golden Retriever: a keen ability to work in the field and a loyal attachment to his/her owner. This award was given to Puk by Judge Macy Swift who was the first person to recognize Puk’s skills in the field. The award is given each year in memory of Faye Simpson who was an active and loyal member of the club for decades. Also notable about this award is that Judge Swift chose Puk for this award over all the more-advanced dogs who had qualified for the WCX on that day. The website showing Puk’s accomplishment of the title and his earning the award is here:

Puk earned his JH in 2012, his WCX and SH in 2013 and his MH in 2014. Between his first and last (fifth) leg, Puk finished the MH title in 10 months, before the age of 5.
