Meet "Dixie": my new Golden Retriever puppy

Here she is: Dixie. She is an AKC registered Golden Retriever. She was given to me by one of my best friends whom I have known since I was in AmeriCorps during my college days back in 1996. Bryan raises them,and they compete nationally. Her parents, Shilo and Jessie, are of championship bloodlines out of Montana and North Carolina, respectively. She was born on October 25th, 2011.
