Skylon HistoryI purchased my first purebred dog in 1963, a Collie. I had one litter of Collies in 1965 and in the same year I bred my first litter of Golden Retrievers. I began breeding Golden Retrievers under the Chrys-haefen prefix (now owned and used by my twin sister, Jennifer McAuley)and after four litters and 3 years, purchased "Skylon" from John McNicol. John McNicol was one of my mentors. It was from him that I first really appreciated "English" Golden Retrievers and I purchased my first English imports. From that day forth, I have imported and attempted to produce Golden Retrievers that conform to the standard set forth by the Kennel Club and the Canadian Kennel Club. Joan Gill and Daphne Philpot of the Westley prefix, are two people that I also consider my mentors, whom I could not fail to mention. They directed me in the path of ideal Golden Retriever specimens. I have had a great deal of success, and after thirty years of showing dogs professionally, for many different breeds, including a number of top Golden Retriever Breeders in the United States and Canada, I look forward in the near future in promoting my own Goldens and perhaps starting a judging career Skylon promotes soundness of mind and body without ever losing the true Golden Retriever temperament. I have just included a new home page on Testimonials.
