Here are just a few of the wonderful puppies that Tad has produced:

Tad's first Champion son Tooly  --  Ch. Belle's Black And Ducker.  Tooly is shown at left winning Best Puppy and Reserve Winners Dog (age 9 months) at the Golden Gate Labrador Retriever Club specialty under British breeder-judge Penny Carpaninni.  Below Tooly is winning a California major at 17 months.

At left John shows Belle High Expectation (major pointed) to a nice placement in the 9-12 AOC Puppy Bitch class at the GGLRC specialty.  Below is Belle Rose, one of our all-time favorite girls.

At right is Canadian Ch. Nyroca's Water Witch (Cheddar) shown taking a class first at the Labrador Retriever Club of the Potomac.  Cheddar has 9 points toward her AKC championship.  She was bred by Angela Terrell.

Derby is a very special Tad daughter.  Ch. Carenna's Amazing Race finished her championship by taking Winners Bitch in five consecutive majors -- one specialty win and four under breeder-judges.  She is shown at left winning Best Puppy In Sweepstakes.  Derby was bred by Carol Quaif.

At left is a recent photo of Tad with three daughters -- the Rhumbline girls.  Schooner (Rhumbline Topsail Schooner, M.H.) is Tad's first Master Hunter get.  Rhumbline Tugboat will be running Master Hunter tests in the fall of '05.  And Docker is a working retriever.  At right is Rhumbline's Twist In The wind.  Twister is about half way to her Agility Championship, and working on her Senior Hunter title.  Tad has sired three litters for Rhumbline.  Breeder:  Sue Carpenter.
