I second Rah Rah (Blackwaters Nipntuck Cheerleader)!! Also all the Tabatha girls. I haven't seen one that I didn't drowl over. Tabatha hasn't fallen into the fad styles - beautiful bitches that are not overdone or underdone - just right!
Thanks, gals, about your Rah Rah comments. She is by a Tabatha dog. And I must second the lists with Piper and the Tabatha girls on it. My eye was trained on the Tabatha girls very early, and that's a hard thing, because I found it hard to be satisfied with anything less. I can still picture that gorgeous picture of Tabatha's Tangle as like a five month old puppy, and another of Dazzle, that were just breathtaking. You see something like that just once and it spoils you FOREVER. Long necks, tons of leg bone, gorgeous angles, melting expression, but nothing overdone. If anyone can find pictures of those girls I'd love to feast my eyes again. There's also a lovely picture of Beechcroft's Clover O'Henry on the NLRC website, I always love looking at that, too. Then there's Linda Scheile's Farley, and the Innselheim bitch that won Potomac, OMG those were gorgeous girls.
I love the Tabatha girls and boys I also, remember Jill's, Wiscoy, from years ago, they were and are lovely. I was just starting in with confirmation and saw her girls and "loved them"!!! I thought Gracy was awesome!!!
I thought "Vicky" Bradking's Black Charm was lovley. Also the gorgeous Springharbor Silouette, and Signiture. Linda Schiele's girl Farrit, Finchingfield Indigo, Tabatha's Rainbow and the rest of the Tabatha girls, the lovely Mijan's girls. Beechcroft Tina was a sight to see too.
Cambremer Madonna, Bradking Black Charm, Lindall Rachelle.... and today... Ch. Fabracken Remember Me.
In the US, Beechcroft and Tabatha girls, from photos only with the exception of the lovely T. Pristine whom I had the pleasure of meeting in the flesh.
I think Ch.Kelleygreens Amazing Grace was not only stunning but one of the most an amazing producers I have seen. She was only bred three times and produced,

Not only was she a multible specialty winner, all of these kids were multible specialty winners. Now her grandchildren are doing the same thing. I think the proof is in the pudding!
Thanks Diane.....she has mellowed some with age, and now obeys commands to perfection, unlike her show days when she enjoyed pushing my buttons, LOL! she now will heel perfectly off lead when we go for a walk! she hasn't nipped me in the fanny for at least a year, LOL! We are excitedly awaiting a litter of her grandkids ( out of her gorgeous daughter "Wookie" )....hoping for another "little Tango"!
I agree about the "Graces". Kevin Henry's girls fron the Visions Kennel.
They are simply glorious. I even got to touch Little Grace.
What a thrill to see such quality before you.
