💛 Every Golden Fest starts with a Golden named Zeke.

Zeke (FC/AFC Mioak's Smoke'n Zeke) was a field trial Golden owned by Bill and Mary Glenn. While still a young dog, he qualified for six National Championships and was a finalist at the 1994 National Amateur. That August, he was diagnosed with lymphoma. He was only 5½. He hunted the high plains with Bill and Mary one last autumn, and by December he was gone.

In 1999, Bill and Mary started a cancer research fund at the Golden Retriever Foundation in Zeke's memory and asked others to join them. Many have. On November 14, Golden Fest joins them too. 🐾

💛 For the Goldens We Love.
Golden Fest is more than a day full of Goldens, family, and fun. It’s a day to celebrate the breed that has given so many of us some of the best memories of our lives — and to give back to them.
Cancer has touched far too many Golden families, and this year, we’re coming together to help make a difference. 🐾
Through Golden Giving, donations from Golden Fest will benefit Project Retrieving Hope for a grant to the Golden Retriever Foundation’s Zeke Cancer Research Fund.
Come celebrate with us. Bring your Golden, come as a spectator, leave a tribute on the Golden Giving Wall, donate an item, or become a Golden Fest partner.
Because these dogs give us a lifetime of love. This day is for them. 💛
📅 November 14 | 12–3 PM
📍 Belle Shain Kennels
For the Goldens we love. For the ones we’ve lost. And for the ones still to come. 🐶💛

🐾 Beau’s Law is now in effect in Alabama. 🐾

As of October 1, 2026, Beau’s Law sets statewide requirements for how dogs kept outdoors must be cared for, including tethering, shelter, food, water, and space.

Here’s what dog owners should know:

🐶 Tethering
• Dogs cannot be tethered to a tree, pole, or other stationary object.
• Tethering must use a proper trolley system with swivels at both ends.
• Logging chains, choke collars, and pinch collars cannot be used.
• The setup must prevent entanglement, injury, or strangulation.

🏠 Shelter
• Dogs must have access to proper shelter at all times.
• Shelter must have a solid floor, be durable and ventilated, and protect from weather and heat.
• It must be large enough for the dog to stand, turn around, lie down, and stretch out.
• Clean water and appropriate bedding when needed are also required.

💧 Food & Water
Dogs kept outdoors must have continuous access to adequate food and potable water.

⚠️ Penalties
Violations can result in misdemeanor charges, with penalties increasing for repeat offenses. In certain circumstances, law enforcement may also order care or remove a dog if its life is believed to be in danger.

Beau’s Law does not ban outdoor dogs or all tethering. It sets minimum standards to help make sure dogs kept outside have proper care, protection, and safe living conditions.
