More: Best friend who illustrates all the wonderful characteristics of the Golden breed. Tail always is wagging and her smile is the best! She would be thrilled to be an Orvis cover dog and would be best friends to all…especially seniors and kids! Also…best hunting dog I’ve been around and that spans 60 years. I grew up hunting ducks and pheasant in Minnesota. Still go back every fall to continue that wonderful tradition. Kota also loves fall and hunting grouse on the mountain trails surrounding our home in the spectacular Rangeley Lakes area.
