I have know Ruth Scheubler since 1991 and this was her first trip to the cabin. A friend of mine drove her in for a 2 day visit. I wanted Ruth to get a chance to see Margo as she continues on to her 16th birthday. We have not done photography together for a few years now but this week we took the time to do head studies of the old girl. She looks so good and so bright for her age. Margo's father in Fairway's in the Ruff and her mom is Izzy my very first German bred dog. Ruff is the litter brother to Best in Show Fairway's Show Time aka Tina. Ruth got a call from a client saying that her female from the Tina X Stratocaster litter was not doing to well. BUT She was the only female in that litter and she is 15 years old !!!! Amazing. Ruth is going to do some checking and see how many from the old breeding program are still with us. Hopefully she will be able to photograph them and put them on the Fairway website. I went into Portland and got a TC on Victor and while I was there got to photograph Fairway's Raika who is 13 years old and still moving well. She has her PAM and is still working as a therapy dog. Amazingly healthy dogs half Ammerican showline half German The Tina Stratocaster daughter is all American show lines. Tina's mother was 2-2 Up an Adam with a littel Mastercharge coming from Fly'n Jib Bodega.. I have loved breeding owning and training these dogs. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2014.
