ROCKY 2 YEARS OLD

Rocky 13 months old. Caught ya!

Keeping up with Nigel
Full speed ahead to the bird!!

What a great asset Rocky was to the Wynwood family. He  turned into a handsome guy, with good structure and an outstanding Golden temperament. Rocky  exceeded all my expectations and he was always willing to play any ‘game’ I presented to him. His genetic background goes back to all the old Wynwood dogs on his fathers side of his pedigree.  It is with heartfelt sorrow that Rocky crossed the Rainbow Bridge on November 15, 2019
