Jake was the firstborn, a strapping big puppy who from the time he opened his eyes would sit and STARE at things -- very bright, very thoughtful, very active. Very smart boy! We were delighted that he went home with the Koguts of New York, who were the co-breeders with Adirondac Kennels of our foundation dam Hilfy all those years ago. His name "Legacy" acknowledges the connection back to Joan's old girl Marcy, Hilfy's dam; Meadowbrae is the Kogut's current kennel name. Jake loves life on the Kogut's upstate farm with his great-aunt Brandi, his cousin Bonnie, and his little brother Fern Hill Meadowbrae Full Circle ("Jesse"). Jake loves training and is an amazingly quick and enthusiastic learner. He made his competition debut at the 2015 Golden Retriever National Specialty in Ohio, JAMMing in the Puppy Stakes field event at a few months of age. In 2016, he earned his Junior Hunter title in four straight tests at 15 months old, and passed three Senior Hunter tests before turning 18 months old. He finished his Senior title in 2017 as a two year old (in addition to his CD, Trick Dog Novice and WC) and his Trick Dog Intermediate and Master titles in 2018 at age 3. He passed the first 14 AKC tests he entered, with both Ken and Joan handling, and passed 5 out of 6 Master tests, only time not passing when he couldn't retrieve a sunken duck. During 2019, he earned his Certificate of Conformation Assessment (CCA) title from the GRCA; his Companion Dog Excellent (CDX) title in a 24 hour period, with placements in each of three legs; his Versatility title (VC); his Trick Dog Advanced title (TKA); and qualified for the aster Amateur. He is still competing successfully in Master tests, and will be coming out for Utility obedience next spring. What a guy!
