Kalin was from my first litter of Goldens. He was my 'Once in a lifetime' dog. He excelled in the conformation and obedience rings and was very competitive in the non slip retrieving arena. He won multi Gundog obedience tests, Working Dog classes and was unbeaten in the Field class.

Kalin was one of the first Goldens to earn his Grand Championship obtaining 1000 points in March 1994 and coming out of "retirement" to finish his "Grand" in February 1998.
Kalin was the "star" of numerous advertising campaigns for Australia and overseas including the "Good-O" ad. He was often selected over other dogs by "working the producers", and his temperament in this special field was impeccable.

Kalin was a Best In Show winner including the Golden Retriever specialty in 1995. He is the sire of numerous champions and the Grand Sire of four Grand Champion offspring.
Kalin was a truly versatile Golden and will always hold a very special place at Dykinta.
