I had pick of her litter and was thought foolish when I left with this puppy, who was not particularly pretty and had a chest full of white fur. She was however captivating, bonding you with her eyes always focused. While she developed her white fur disappeared and she was toned and muscular with exceptional stamina.  Her movement was spectacular with reach and drive that made her appear to float around the show ring. Her temperament was gentle, laid back, her kisses slow and caressing. She became a Championship before a year of age. She effortlessly whelped four large litters, with eleven, ten, nine and eight puppies. She passed the best attributes of herself and those of the sire to the puppies. A breeder's dream improving on what was already a great dog. The result earned her an ROM (Registry of Merit) as these puppies excelled in all areas of competition. Tara was healthy until the week she passed at 16.
