NEWS FLASH!!!!!

      One of my closest friends Deonna Moore just finished up her boy, now Champion TAGGART AIN'T MISBEHAVIN, "ZIGGY" CONGRATULATIONS Dee Dee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     Let me tell you, no one could deserve it more. Dee works hard on her breeding program and she must have been putting in overtime when she created this masterpiece of a dog. Folks this is one heck of a dog and I can't sing his praises loud or long enough. Dee finished him up in Bred By Class with 2 Five point  Majors.

     I've loved this dog almost from the time he took his first breath. Dee started working with him not long after he opened his eyes and had him ready for the ring long before he was old enough to be entered in a show. Ziggy is the picture of health, strength, and stamina. From the top of his massive head to his toes, this dog is a must see. He looks good in pictures but they don't really do him justice. When I see this dog in person I know I'm in the presence of greatness, but when I put my hands on him it's dang near a religious experience! He is so solid and muscular. His jaw turns up perfect and when you open his mouth the space between his canines is just as wide as I've ever seen with nice straight teeth. He has good length of skull and a ruler would rest perfectly from his jaw to nose to forehead. He's about as square as anyone could ask for. He's got a wide deep chest, heavy bone, straight front and short back with a correct top line. He is put together clean and healthy not at all over done but very well balanced and that shows in his movement. Standing over him looking down on his back you will find a perfect outline of a pear. He tucks up smooth and tight underneath. His eyes are clear with a zesty spark that seems to speak to you. He is marked so flashy with a smooth coat that shines like pure silk. This dog is just plain overwhelmingly beautiful in my eyes and I think anyone that will give this dog a good looking over would have to agree with me.

     I've always admired Ziggy's sire Ch. Adamant Warlock and many of his offspring. I've been up close and personal with his mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and great great grandmother. I've always believed in their great producing potential that has been proven time and again. I've heard breeders speak of others being jealous of certain breeders and a dog they have. I can say I've never been the jealous type but if I were, this would be the breeder and the dog. In a very positive way I do envy Dee Dee and this dog. I'm so happy that I was around to watch it all unfold. I'm very proud of my friend for her hard work and dedication to this wonderful breed. I can't wait to get puppies out of Ziggy and I hope to show up in the ring in the next few years with some of his sons and daughters. I hope Dee can find the time to show Ziggy as a special because special he certainly is........
