Tara is our foundation bitch, bred the first time with our male, Jake. Although having a singleton puppy her first litter (GG) in January 2003, she did present us with a gem! GG has begun (though not seriously) her show career. On November 16, 2003, Tara again presented us with puppies, this time 13 (10 boys, 3 girls)! She was bred to Jake's littermate's son to continue the same line, which we favor. (See Riker's page for pedigree.) We promised Tara after this trying ordeal that she did not have to do this again. We hope we can keep that promise!
