Taus was Tulle's son, he was a very loving boy and unfortunately he had problems with his thyroid production (which you see a lot in Golden Retrievers), it resulted in having seizures, and he had to take a daily supply of Thyroid medicine, which he took for the rest of his life.  He was so loving, that when a new program at the local hospital for Pet Assisted Therapy started, he was enrolled and did a wonderful job in making some sick people feel better.  He never gained any titles in any competition but has a big place in my heart.  He was neutered when he was 15 months old and lived to his 14 year. 

  Tobias was imported from Denmark and he was a fun dog.  He never gained any titles, he was too smart for that and my patience to train him was not there, so he ended up being our couch potato and escape artist.  He and Toy were related and they were always like Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum, getting into trouble. He was neutered, when he was 18 months old because he had Canine Hip Dysplasia,  Golden Retrievers are very often diagnosed with that terrible  inherited disease.  He did suffer from epileptic seizures once in a while, but lived to the ripe old age of 14.

 Toy was Taus' half sister. She was as loving as Taus and was enrolled in the same program as he for Pet Assisted Therapy at Hospitals and Nursing Homes. She did get titles in the Obedience and Field competition.  She was spayed, when she was  3 years old, since I didn't think, she could improve the breed if bred. She was diagnosed with lung cancer when she was 10 1/2 year old and we had to let her go, so she wouldn't suffer.  It was very difficult, because I loved her so much.
