Brotherly Love by bluemoon

Brotherly Love

Meet the boys, Rusty & Murphy! They are brothers, born on Christmas Eve in 1999 and we've had them since they were about 12 weeks old. We only intended to get one puppy but we just couldn't pick between the two of them so they both came home with us. They are the most loveable, sweet natured, loyal dogs ever and they are inseparable! The only downside to Golden Retrievers I can think of is that they've never met a person they didn't like so if a burglur ever shows up they'll probably lead them straight to the good stuff! :)
Thats a golden for ya! What about that hair??? We use to have one and they shed like crazy.. :) Lovely dogs though...inside and out!

Gorgeous dogs!

So glad you decided to take them both...they are obviously meant to be together as a matched set!! Wonderful portrait of Rusty and Murphy!

How did you get these great looking guys to pose so beautifully.

Beautiful dogs. Used to have one, also. Can't get better-natured. Our Snakey, who appears in my pics occasionally, has a pure-bred golden retriever for a mother. You can probably see the resemblance when you know that.

Oh, how sweet! They are so lovable.

Great looking kids. They look so well groomed.

@omabluebird That's easy, the boys are getting older and not nearly as active as they used to be so laying around is what they do best these days! :)

what a great portrait. they're beautiful.
January 18th, 2011  
They're beautiful, and you've captured them so well. I had a golden too- who taught me more about unconditional love than most humans could ever dream of. Thanks for sharing your handsome boys with us!
January 18th, 2011  
What sweet faces!
January 18th, 2011

Gorgeous dogs and shot.
January 18th, 2011  
They are a handsome pair. I love the way they have that greying face. Good old boys. My dog on the other hand ate almost an entire bag of peanut butter m&m's yesterday!
January 18th, 2011  
Wow, what a gorgeous pair! I absolutely love the white background. This is a perfect shot, Paula!

Beautiful portrait of your boys! We have had goldens for the past 30 years...never 2 at a time though. And you're right - not the best watch dogs!
January 18th, 2011  
What gorgeous dogs. Lovely picture of the "boys"
January 18th, 2011  
What a great pose! These dogs touch my heart. (I am a dog lover.)
January 18th, 2011  
Very cute!
January 18th, 2011  
Nice pic. Love how you softened it. Golden retrievers are very friendly, but they do bark(or at least the 2 next door do.)
January 18th, 2011  
I know what you mean, I have a Golden too and he runs to everyone and anyone he sees. Though he does have his defensive bark sometimes he quickly softens up when you give him a pet. Beautiful shot and beautiful dogs!
January 18th, 2011  
aww so cute Paula! So nice that you took them both home!
My brother just got a golden he's very cute. They are lovers just like labs!
January 18th, 2011  
Nice pups!
January 18th, 2011  
Beautiful portrait! Golden Retrievers are wonderful dogs.
January 18th, 2011  
oh just look at their sweet faces. they are beautiful....i love my dogs sooo much, and between Jenn and I, I bet we have a gazillion pix of them. I bet these guys do too!
January 18th, 2011  
Such a beautiful portrait. They make a great pair and the shot is (as always) perfectly presented.
January 18th, 2011  
What a sweet portrait of them!! I love Golden Retrievers, they are such nice dogs

I just love their white muzzles, they look so dignified!

Golden retrievers are my absolute favorite dog, and you have captured a beautiful portrait of them here!!! They are just precious, and I wish I could give them both big hugs!!!
