Hip clearance:OFA GR-120307F24F-VPI Eye clearance:OFA GR-EYE13325/24F-VPI Heart clearance:OFA GR-ACA1532/24F-VPI Elbow clearance:OFA GR-EL40007F24-VPI Olive was born in September 2015. She is a fantastic family dog, as well as a performance dog. Our son Aiden began training her as a puppy. Picture a 50-pound 8-year-old training a six-month old puppy that weighed more than he did. Sound like a recipe for disaster? Nope. Olive and Aiden completed their first training class and Olive became certified as an American Kennel Club All Star Puppy. In 2017, Aiden began training Olive to compete in AKC rally obedience and obedience trials. Among a variety of first place ribbons, the pair won Junior Champion Rally Obedience at the Maryland State Fair.
Olive is impeccably housebroken, quiet as a mouse around the home, and gentle with every person and creature she meets. She loves our kids, chickens, pigs, and goats. She received her OFA clearances for her hips, heart, eyes, and heart in October 2017. More information about Olive, including her OFA registry information and pedigree, can be found here.

Happenstance’s Lemon Caper
”Caper”
Caper is Olive’s daughter from our December 2017 litter, and bred/owned by us at Happenstance.
She is a delightful and beautiful girl who loves kids and is doing quite well in the show ring with our children. She has shown in rally, obedience, and junior showmanship.
Caper is the best snuggler of a dog that we’ve ever had, and nothing makes her happier than being with her people. She is friendly yet obedient, and her favorite pastime is stealing and carrying shoes around the house (although she doesn’t chew them).
Caper will be bred in 2020, after she turns two in December 2019 and then gets all OFA clearances recommended by the Golden Retriever Club of America (eyes, heart, hips and elbows).
