Generational Statistics

First let's look at how many unbroken generations of specific major AKC titles exist for Golden Retrievers.
Consider the following pedigree. There are 2 sets of at least 3 unbroken generations of OTCHs here. 1)
Sneakers, her sire, and his sire. 2) Sneakers, her sire and his dam. The grandparent OTCHs on the dams side
don't count because the fact that Sneaker's dam lacks an OTCH breaks the linkage.

Is there a major title holder living today whose sire or dam held that same title and
among whose grandparents there was at least one occurrence of that title and so on
back to the first Golden to hold that title?

Sadly, there is no direct link between the first to hold an AKC title to Goldens of today
except for the very recent agility and rally titles.
