Over the rainbow bridge

Special dogs over the years that appear in the pedigrees of our current stars.

Dogs of our past: Team

BISS CH Topaz Ride The Rage

Tanner

CH Kountry Klassic's Double Jeopardy x CH Topaz French Toast
Tanner was my veteran for many years. It was such a thrill winning at the SHCGP show and going Best in Specialty at 12.5 years old (from the veteran class). He had numerous specialty selects also all from veterans. Tanner was 1 point shy of his Grand Championship when we lost him at near 14. He was still strutting around the show ring up until only a few months before he passed. Tanner had beautiful, effortless side gate. He was so light on his feet and just floated around the ring. Tanner is the sire of Cody, GH Topaz Policy Of Truth.

CH Topaz Gray Summit

Gracie

CH Topaz Like a Rock x Innisfree's Sea Hawk II
Gracie was one of my first few conformation show dogs. It was a learning curve for us both. Grace was so naughty in the ring... I have many fond memories of us falling overtop of each other while trying to move together! She taught me a lot about a Siberian's conformation and what to look for in future show dogs. I miss her and her special sense of humor.

CH Topaz Run For The Roses

Rosie

CH Topaz Gunslinger x CH Topaz Savannah
Rosie was my first show girl. She was adorable. She was a CH Mal Pal's Bart Simpson granddaughter. Rosie had that trademark Bart head and type. Rosie was a small, cute girl with correct movement.

CH Topaz Redd Hott

Jura

CH Topaz Sam I Am At Trillium Blue x CH Topaz Touch Of Bling
JuJu to her friends, Jura was a beautiful girl taken away too young. Jura's short show career included going WB at the SHCGP specialty, and a BOB over specials at an all breed show. She was a sweetheart.

CH Topaz This Is Our Dance

Ceilidh

CH Topaz Naked Gun x CH Topaz Unleashed
Ceilidh was a beautiful girl in type and movement. Ceilidh finished her Championship with a specialty major. She was never shown as a special. She enjoyed being a sled dog, and trained for a bit in the early season with the racing dogs until the trail would become too fast. Ceilidh came during a transition time in life and really didn't get the ring time she deserved. She had a best friend our pet Lucy, who we jokingly called together Lucyceilidh as they were inseparable.

Tugline's Tiger Lily and Tugline's Gracenote

Lily and Islay

BISS CH Topaz Ride The Rage x CH Topaz Gray Summit
These two pretty sisters were each just short of finishing their Championship. Both were major pointed. Like Ceilidh, it was a transition time in life and we showed on a limited basis. I miss them both. Espically our former queen, Islay. It's not the same without her.
