Porsche' moved in late in 1994 and we formed an
instant bond. What was meant to be a 2-year
lease turned into a life long friendship. Iain
Hinde (Disque Poodles - Victoria) gave Porsche
to me and I can never thank him enough to giving
me such a special girl.
Before moving to SA, Porsche won Best Poodle Puppy
of the year 1993 from the Poodle Club
of Victoria. Once here, she began to teach me a
thing or two about Poodles.
Porsche
was a
successful
showgirl winning multiple Best Exhibit in Group
awards and was a finalist in the Foundation Cup
Challenge. She was a favorite with the Junior
Handlers and partnered Clair Richter (Waldwiese Wiemaraners)
to a second place in 1994.
Porsche's show career was cut short by illness. She
ate a fruit stone that bought about Pancreatitis and
this had a devastating effect on her coat. We did
not care though, as long as she was going to be OK.
With a special diet and the care of a great
veterinarian, she pulled through. She became the
lady of the house and spent most of her time with
her special friend, our Boxer, Charlotte.
Her
last 12 months were spent fighting the effects of a
White Tail Spider bite. This same bite would
eventually take my girl away from me.
Porsche's temperament and lust for life will never
be forgotten. Both Matthew and myself sadly miss
her.
