Woods Plenty O Patience C.D.X
1971-1982
Pat was the first dog I ever tried competing with. She was the top obedience dog in the sporting group for three years in a row...not bad for an English Pointer with a novice handler. Pat was a brilliant dog, and an excellent hunting partner! Pat was the beginning of a long going affair in the world of dogs.

Robra's Gemelli of Tolivar
1977-1990
Kikidee was looking for a new home when Ann Platt contacted us about her. Seems there was a misunderstanding about who was top dog, and Ann decided her senior bitch was top dog, so Kiki had to go. Being an Alpha, Kiki had to learn that I was the boss, it was not an easy task, but she learned quickly, accepted the rules of our household, and there were no more incidents. Kiki was a brilliant dog, a beautiful dog, and passed her best qualities to her progeny. She was the foundation of our kennel, and will never be forgotten.
Kiki was sired by Ch. Von Lieb's London and her dam was Tolivar's Abbey Road.

Wood's Blue Lavon, C.D. Kami Of Tattersall
1976-1989 1982-1997
Lavon was my first Blue/Rst Doberman. She was the perfect dog in all aspects accept for her coat. I absolutely love the Blue color, but we fought for 11 yrs to keep that coat looking decent. If I could have Lavon back, I'd go through it all over again, but because of the constant upkeep, I will never intentioally have another blue Doberman.
Kami didn't know she was a Toy Fox Terrier, she thought she was a Doberman and was always putting the big dogs in their place. She missed Lavon too!

Ch. Tattersall's Esquire
1982-1992
Quinn was a very special dog. He had a quality about him that demanded attention where ever he went. Quinn was co-owned by Faye Elkin who campaigned him to his championship. Quinn was a demmo dog at my obedience classes, and was quite the ambassador for the Doberman Pinscher. When I looked at Lincoln, I could see Quinn, and like his Dam, he is still very much with us today in our present dogs.
Quinn was sired by Ch. Tolivar's Country Roads and his dam was Robra's Gemelli of Tolivar.

Tattersall's Jardi Jardinere
1991-2000
Jardi was one of those dogs with the kindest of hearts. He loved everybody, he was a clown, he was a playmate for the puppies and was a buddy to all but his brother Cody (too much competition there!). He was a lovable teddy bear that you couldn't help but hug. He had many endearing qualities that I will never forget. Maybe we will get another little Jardi sometime in the future. Jardi was diagnosed with Fibrosarcoma at two years of age. His prognosis was poor, they gave him 6 mos to live. We thought that when the tumor was removed, they must have excised ALL of it! He lived a healthy, happy life until the cancer reared its ugly head again shortly before we lost him.
Jardi was sired by Ch. Sunburgs Ande Andrew and his dam was Tattersall's Kiki Dee.

Tattersall's Cecret Code Tattersall's Kalina Kay Tattersall's Veda Vedette
1991-2002 1991-2002 1992 - 2004
Cody and Kalina were littermates to Jardi. Veda was from a repeat breeding. Seems all the dogs from the Ande x Kiki breedings were exceptionally nice dogs, in all aspects. We kept three dogs from the first breeding and one, Veda, from the second. These dogs had it all, and will be impossible to replace. Cody and Kalina are pictured here at 11 months.
Cody, Kalina and Veda were sired by Ch. Sunburg's Ande Andrew and their dam was Tattersall's Kiki Dee.

Tattersall's Lincoln
1995-2002
Losing Lincoln was a real blow as it was completely unexpected...no time to prepare ones mind for the loss. 2002 was a bad year for me. Lincoln was lost from complications from Gastric Torsion.
Lincoln was sired by Ch. Foxhall's Alliance Dob Mann, and his Dam was Tattersall's Genny Genell.

Tattersall's Kyla Jasmine Du Canis Dirus
1993 - 2003 1994 - 2004
Kyla's Sire and Dam were bred by the late Margaret Bastible of Barrimilne Kennels in the UK. Most of her bloodlines were of European dogs little known here in America, Furstenfeld, Von Forell, and a bit of Pompie. My chances of finding another like her in the States or anywhere for that matter are slim. Kyla was a one of a kind, once in a lifetime dog. Kyla was my canine soulmate. When in my presence, she was constantly by my side, constantly watching over me. She and her friend Jasmine (one of our Beauceron) shared a knack for alerting me when my medical condition (Diabetes) was at dangerous levels. Jasmine misses her too. I was truly lucky to share my life with this wonderful, loyal canine. I cannot begin to express the loss felt for this dog. From the day I brought her home at 7 wks, if I looked in her direction, she was always looking back with the same intent expression as in all her pictures. If I even thought her name, she would wag her tail....we were that close.
I miss her so!
We lost Kyla in December, in May, Jasmine followed her to the bridge. I guess they will be keeping each other company.
Kyla was Sired by Shaka From Barrimilne and her Dam was Barrimilne Black Mink
Jasmine was sired by Filou Du Clos Des Hortioux and her dam was Feerique Des Fugues De Saint Alban
