OK -- thought so, but wanted to be sure.

I LOVE Breathtaking -- look at that beard!!!!!

Someone needs to duplicate that in a TB!!

YES!!!! That beard is AMAZING. It is interesting that a good many SDB's have wonderful blue beards but the TB's don't seem to have the same nice coloration.

Genetics (to be a smart a$$). Are there not some TB's with blue beards? Like, say, Alien Mist?

Peach Pearl is really nice too!!!

Since Tobacco Chew is known primarily for its beard, it would be an exception -- right? I have never seen a beard on a TB that size -- and in blue!! There are lots of TB's with blue beards -- Alien Mist comes to mind -- but the size of Breathtaking's beard relative to the fall, and COLOR -- oh, mannnnnnnnnn............!!!

Alien Mist:
Actually, Alien Mist does a pretty good job, doesn't it???

B you toot

Here is a note from Rick & Roger about "Signal Butte"

"Signal Butte is named after a small mountain near our old home in the Apache Junction area of Arizona

Butte is pronounced just like the first part of “beauty”, leaving out the y sound at the end, so it is “beaut”"

that looks better than my "toot" at the end of my phonetic structure
