Ciara or, as our family called her, "Classy" was as sweet as her name. She was our foundation bitch and had a beautiful deep bittersweet chocolate coat. She exhibited the many wonderful qualities required by the Labrador Standard. At full maturity she had wonderful coat, blocky head, warm expression, and powerful otter tail- all while standing at a beautiful 72 lbs.

Her goal in life was to please everyone she met. Therefore, she was an eager learner and a joy to train. From the time she was a very young puppy, she would sit patiently, paying close attention while waiting for her next command. She retrieved her first bird at 8 weeks old and continued, up to the day we lost her, to play fetch, ride in the pick-up or Gator, lay by your feet, go for walks, or most of all entertain the grandchildren. She had the refined show ring trot of proud elegance, mimicking her Champion sire Toby to a "T" . Ciara was everything we wanted in our foundation Bitch and was truly a lovely girl . She was always proud and positive; exhibiting that lovely Labrador temperament we have all fallen in love.

Ciara gave us so much in the short 4 years we had her, and I will forever have her girls here by my side.
