Genetic Profile

  • Embark & UC Davis VGL Genetic Diversity tested

  • Internal Relatedness (IR): -0.04 - excellent genetic diversity

  • Outlier Index (OI): 0.33 - above breed average, a strong outcross candidate

Akari is fun-loving, eager, and thrives on new challenges. She excels in scentwork, rally, agility, and FastCat with the focus and drive of a working golden. At the same time, she is gentle, affectionate, and easy to live with, the kind of dual-purpose Golden we strive to produce.

​

She has earned:

  • AKC Best of Breed (4–6 months) Beginner Puppy

  • IABCA International Champion

  • World of Cynosport Rally Level 1​

Chrysus Spirit Alita in Total Eclips

"Alita"

DOB: 06/15/2026

Future Hopeful
UC Davis/VGL Genetic Diversity Tested
IR: 0.15
DLA: 1014/2050 & 1062/2021

Embark: Pending
OFA: Pending age
K9 Data: Pending
C-BARQ: Future

Alita is our keeper girl from the 2026 Coach × Akari “Gold in the Night” litter. Known as Eclipse in the whelping box, she stood out early as a puppy with balance, confidence, structure, and presence.

​

She represents the direction I hope to continue with Chrysus Spirit Goldens: moderate, athletic, people-oriented Goldens with sound structure, trainability, confidence, sweetness, and natural biddability.

​

Alita is still very young and is considered a future hopeful for our program. As she grows, I will continue evaluating her temperament, movement, structure, trainability, health, and maturity. No breeding decisions will be made until she is mature and has completed appropriate health clearances.

Planned testing includes Embark, annual eye exams, cardiac evaluation, and OFA hips and elbows when age appropriate. Her UC Davis/VGL Genetic Diversity test has been completed.
