I bought Riptide when he was nine months old. He was being handled at a specialty by Tammie Gabrielson. When I saw him and heard that he was available I knew he had to come home with me. Riptide was known for his "Attitude" in the ring and for the pretty look and sound bodies he produced. What a wonderful dog and great producer Rip proved to be. Almost all of the Tara Hill "kids" of today are grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Rip's. Riptide produced very well for many other breeders as well and earned the ROM after his name. Rips' best know offspring is the beautiful Ch. Gemstone Sea of Love, a Century Club Member.
