We are quite excited about Max, he is shaping up into our ideal type of Golden.  He loves the show ring and has, had an impressive debut in the ring where he 'shows his socks off'!  He already has won at Group level at Championship shows and followed his Great Grandmother and Great Great Grandfather by winning the Group at Maudie Burke's 'Guide Dog Show'.  At the Newtownards Championship Show in Feb 2010, Glynis Massey (Seamourne) gave Max Green Star Dog and BOB he was only 16 months old.  He achieved his Junior Champion title under Frank Kane at the Combined International Show in April 2010 having won five firsts with 'excellent' grades in junior classes at IKC Championship Shows. In April Max entered the UGRC Championship Show and under Mr Everett Massey won the Junior Class and as a result qualified for Crufts 2011.  Max also competed with the Junior Bitch winner and was awarded the Avoncraig Cup for Best Junior in Show.

In early July Max took his third and fourth Green stars at the Bray Championship Show and the next day at the Irish Ladies Kennel Association.  In early June 2010 Max again shone in the ring, at the Munster Championship Show under judge Colette Muldoon he won his Intermediate Dog class, the Dog Green Star and Best of Breed.  We were then delighted when he went reserve (G2) in Group 8 gundog, losing to the eventual BIS winner the American Cocker champion San Jo's Born to Party.  The following day at the Cork and District Championship Show he took the Reserve Green Star, his uncle Charlie winning the Green Star.
We entered Max in the Golden Retriever Club (England) Championship Show on the 24th July 2010.  In a class of 12 dogs Max won the Yearling class under judge Mrs Val Tregaskis (Steval) we were delighted that he was able to 'shine' and hold his own amongst his peers in the UK.

We are grateful to Margaret and Stephen Joy for allowing GB Sh Ch Shardanell all that Jazz to give our Delia such quality puppies, thank you Murphy.  In February 2010 we had Max's hips scored and were delighted that they came back 4:3 the same as Delia his mother we are fortunate that Riverdance dogs have always had better than the breed average hip scores.  Max has BVA/KC Clear Eye Certificate dated May 2010 and is available at stud to suitable bitches.
