Julia – Artistry’s Another Thing Coming, SWA, SCM, NW3 Elite, DDCN, EN

Sunrise - November 15, 2009 / Sunset – February 16, 2023

My beautiful Julia peacefully passed away in our home at the age of 13. My heart is broken to pieces. She was a once-in-a-lifetime dog and will never be replaced. She was so special and I’ll miss her every single day.

I met Julia at 5 weeks old and took her home at 8 weeks. We always had fun and spectacular adventures through the years. I will cherish those memories forever.

Some proud moments - Julia loved scent work! She started scent detection training under Penny Scott-Fox in Altadena, California at the age of 8 months old in 2010. Julia is the 10th Golden Retriever in the country to achieve the National Association of Canine Scent Work ORT Title at just over a year old. She is the 31st Golden Retriever in the country to earn a NACSW NW1 Title in 2011 and the 10th Golden Retriever in the country to receive her NACSW NW2 Title in 2012. Then, life events put trials on hold for a few years. When Logan (Artistry’s Long Time Coming) passed away in 2017, Julia continued trialing with NACSW and started with AKC, & USCSS. She captured her NACSW NW3 Elite Title in January 2022. Julia’s last trial was a NACSW Elite Trial in Tampa, Florida on November 19, 2022. Julia earned 28 overall scent work titles with NACSW, AKC, and USCSS. Lots of good fun times with my girl. That’s what it was all about!

Rest in peace, my baby girl. You taught me meaningful life lessons like living each day to the fullest, smiling, and never taking anything too seriously. It was an honor and privilege to be your companion and I thank you. I’ll miss everything about you. Run free until we meet again. Kisses!
