Cain
arrived as an early Christmas present and hit the
ground running! Cain was owned in partnership with
his breeder, Iain Hinde (Disque Poodles, Victoria)
and Matthew and I are forever thankful to Iain for
giving us our "Tiger".
Cain
had a limited show career, but was successful during
his time in the ring. In 1998 he was awarded: Best
Puppy of Breed - Adelaide Royal Show
Best
Puppy of Breed - Melbourne Royal show was in the
final cut of 4 for Best Puppy in Group
Best
Poodle Puppy of the Year (all varieties) - Poodle
Club of SA Inc.
In 1999
he was awarded:
Best of
Breed and Junior in Group at the Canberra Royal
Show.
Cain
was a multiple Best Exhibit in Group and Best Puppy
in Group winner. He gained his show title in style
with a Best Exhibit in Group under respected All
Breeds judge, the late Mrs. Val Sass.
Due to
work commitments I was not able to show Cain much
into Junior and he was clipped off to become
Matthew's tuff dog!?
Cain
was tragically taken from us by a heart attack after
bloat. What a shock, Saturday he was helping us
garden - and Sunday he was in heaven.
Matthew
misses his "Tiger" terribly and I miss my 'little
man'.
RIP

Thanks
to Jacqui McLeay (Kirada Poodles) for all of her
help and guidance when I was starting out with Cain.
Elaine Wallis, your advice and knowledge is still
put to use today and I thank you for that. Special
thanks must go to Margie Nottle-Justice (Remkyn
Poodles) for everything! Your advice, help and
support has been invaluable. You have become a great
friend not only to myself, but to Matthew as well.
