Dawn Rose
(Gaytonwood Golden Retrievers) 19/04/59 - 01/10/2024
Dawn Judged Golden Retrievers at Championship show level in the Uk and Europe. She also judged other breeds in the Gundog group at Open level and Judged the BASC Working Gundog Classes at Crufts.
She was involved in the RKC JEP pilot scheme and was a mentor. She was a RKC Show Liaison council representative.
She had Show bred and Working bred Goldens. She competed in Rally Obedience, field trials and working test gaining stud book numbers for her show and working lines. Dogs she bred have also done well in all spheres including Obedience Champions competing at Crufts.
Dawn was first diagnosed with Breast cancer in 2006. We had gone to the Guisachan gathering together and once diagnosed and going through treatment Dawn had a list of "things to do". We went to the IGL retriever championships and were privileged to see a Golden Retriever win it (not often done). We went to New York for The Westminster Show during her chemo treatment, and to Seattle for the GRCA speciality. This was the start of many trips over the following years.
We have covered the Crufts Gundog Group and the IGL Retriever Championships for Our Dogs newspaper and at times worked on their Crufts stand, after meeting Vince Hogan at The Westminster Show whilst she was going through her first treatment, and until recently writing the Breed Notes for many years.
She had been working test secretary for MGRC and was a committee member on BD&CGRC to date. She had the week before her death taken a dog to the Group Breed Club Golden Retriever BAD hands on session and stewarded at the GRC Novice field trial.
In Dawn's younger days she had worked with horses working in top yards and during covid her love of horses came to the fore and she renewed her passion in race horses which she continued to the end, travelling the country and Europe to races with her horses. Again something we along with my partner Graham did together
Although her cancer came back and was spreading it did not stop her, she carried on a full life until taken ill 2 days before her death.
