STRUCTURE
Bentley was a light golden color. His coat was very dense with a slight wave and thick undercoat. He carried lots of coat. He had very dark pigment; nose, eyes, etc. and never had a “snow nose.” He had a beautiful headpiece with a nice stop and a strong muzzle resulting in a very soft expression. He was prepotent to producing his headtype.
He was a moderate size dog, balanced front & rear, very muscular and in good condition. He had good length of neck and great topline that holds on the move, with a tail carriage that is off the topline.
Bentley had full dentition with the correct scissor bite. Bentley’s movement was powerful and fluid displaying nice side gate. He moved straight as an arrow coming and going away.
Montair Goldens carries on the tradition of producing quality Goldens from a line of Champions with an impressive history and great heritage. As you look at the pedigree of our foundation dogs, you will see many Champions and prestigious dogs in every generation.
All of our Goldens are exceptional representatives of the breed whether they are destined for show or companion. Over the years we have also carefully introduced other lines that are complimentary to ours from other highly respected and high-quality breeders.

Then he won Best in Show Veterans Dixon Kennel Club Veterans Extravaganza October 2002 and took Best of Breed in regular competition over the many top specials. Both of these shows had very large entries.
