Likes:
Going to training class or over the parent's house so she can annoy and get Nalu (my sister's Chessie) in trouble.

Favorite Toy:
Arwen (Seal point ragdoll cat), she gets over excited however and ends up tackling the poor cat. (:)

Favorite Food:
She loves her daily orange flavor vitamins Cs; yes she is a bit odd.

Favorite Walk:
Running all over the Grandparent's (my folk's) farm with Frosty (rescue Akita) and Duncan (#2 Chow Chow in USA).

Arrival Story:
I grew up in a show dog/professional handler home, so I've shown, trained, a have lived with many different breeds however about two years ago I moved out on my own and thought it was about time to choose a breed right for me. The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog was just that, I contacted a WONDERFUL breeder in KY who I owe a lot too. I waited 2 years for the right one and drove from FL to KY in July to pick up my perfect girl Tabitha. Her offical name is CH. Derby's Simply Enchanting

Bio:
Tabitha is looking to start her show career this coming winter (Nov 2004). She has a lot to live up too as her mother and great grandmother are Swissies with great records. Her breeder and I however have no doubt she will follow the family tradition well. :) Right now at 4 month of age she weights 56lbs and growing! lol **edit - Well Tabitha is two now, a champion and looking forward to the future.

Tabitha's First Show

Tabitha had her first show this past weekend and following in the footsteps of her mother, grandmother and other Derby girls she caused quite a stir. She won Winners Bitch from the 6 to 9 Puppy class earning her first two points and nearly took breed the judge was so enamored with her, however she took Best of Winners and Best of Opposite sex instead. The judge made comments every time Tabitha was in the ring (puppy class, winners bitch, and best of breed), saying “You bred her right!” and “In my ten years of breeding working dogs this is what I like to see.” And “Your going to do lots of winning with this girl when she matures.”

Outside the ring everyone was asking her age, linage and other such various questions. A nice lady we met at the show went so far as to post the results on the Swissy-L list with the comment: "a drop dead gorgeous 6 month puppy bitch" next to her name. Kristen and Kim, Tabitha's breeders received emails from various people who read the list in regards to Tabitha's identity, all of us found it quite flattering.

Tabitha loved being in the ring and showed beautifully, no one would have guessed it was her first show. Her tail never stopped wagging in true swissie form. Our next show is in December in Miami, where there should be majors.

I put new pictures of her showing in her profile. Enjoy!
