RUBY & JEANNIE
These two are litter sisters by Ch Talraz Tamarisk ("Barney") ex Wellknowe Winter Winds. The litter of four were given "jewellery" names in honour of their late mother, whose pet name was "Silver".
The brown girl is Ruby (Talraz Golden Earring) and a sweeter-natured Beardie would be hard to find, her tail works overtime and she makes new friends everywhere she goes. Like a true blonde she can seem a little brainless at times, but she more than makes up for it by being so gentle, obedient and cuddly. Everyone loves her!
Jeannie (Talraz Siver Charm) is much deeper and can appear standoffish at first meeting, being very selective she prefers to choose her friends with care. She is a wise girl and never puts herself at risk, allowing Ruby to take the lead on most occasions.

 The sisters Jeannie and Ruby As youngsters they were always together, like little bookends, with the less confident Jeannie allowing Ruby to take the lead.
Now mature adults, they are seen in these poses much less often. |

 Jeannie due for a groom A nice natural pose of Jeannie in the garden. Even ungroomed she usually looks quite tidy, with nice white whiskers! |
|
 Ruby full of fun Here's a happy Ruby just having played a quick game of chase the ball.
Though she never has mastered retrieving she still thinks ball games are great fun! |
|
 A very serious Jeannie Jeannie having been groomed to show off the sweetness of her expression, and here looking very thoughtful - "oh no, I hope this doesn't mean a Dog Show coming up....."
Unfortunately showing is not her favourite pastime, she can think of lots of things she would rather do! |
|
 Ruby quite content to pose By way of contrast Ruby loves nothing more than a trip out, and being groomed is just one part of an activity she adores.
She really is a poser and will lie on the grooming table for ever! |

 A rare trip to a show Jeannie in show pose at NEWPB Open Show in June 2007 |

 Golden like her name Ruby in the garden at home showing off her latest coat colour - like so many browns even at age five she still hasn't fully decided what colour she wants to be! |
|
 Sitting for a photo Looking more relaxed here just before we all went for a good run on Newcastle racecourse - perhaps one day we will manage to persuade Jeannie that shows can be fun? |
