Can.Int'l.Ch.Violet Sky Silver Angel TP RN CGN/CGC HIT​
​

​​Monday August 7th, 2017
One of the most saddest days today as for I made the most heart wrenching decision to release my Matriarch and Queen ... my dearest Shiraz.

I sadly released my Silver Angel into the Violet Sky. Tonight was the first time I have been able to see the ✨stars ✨as I looked into the smokey night sky, one star seems to shine brightly. I had read something about when you lose a loved one and finding a star ... ✨ Oh how it hurt gazing at that star thinking of Shiraz the Matriarch of my Poodle Pack and how I miss her regal presence ... I know it will take time for the pain of her loss to soften.

Shiraz was my first homebred of Violet Standard Poodles.
A week ago we celebrated her 16th Birthday!
​Sweet dreams my Queen 💔 sweet dreams ...💔

 She is my Queen and the Matriarch which I highly doubt any other
​poodle I have
​ will be able live up to!

♥ ​♥ ♥ ​
Huge thank you to Bonnie Judd for putting together this most thoughtful and appreciated video of my dear girl!  We have celebrated three birthdays for

​Shiraz is our first silver in our first homebred litter of
Standard Poodles and is my 2nd Homebred Canadian Champion.

♥ To date Shiraz has produced for the conformation ring,
7 Canadian Champions, 3 silver American Champions and 
1 silver Australian Champion who is very possibly the youngest and quickest finishing silver American Champion puppy in the U.S.A. and the 
first ever silver Standard to achieve a 
Best in Show, Best in Specialty Show 
and on to
Multiple Best in Shows in Australia!!! ♥

What an ​exciting invitation for our Standard Poodles at PCA
including myself with Shiraz for this photo shoot with a
Fashion Model for the New York Times!
I was shopping on the upper levels as this show is the best place to shop
for all things POODLE!!!
When I looked down to the show rings I saw it already taking place!
Thankfully Terri was able to take Shiraz in for me which I am
again thankful for!  

Beside Shiraz ♥ Violet Sky Silver Angel ♥ and Terri Meyers (on the right)
are Rachel Corbin with I am suspecting to be Staci ♥ Ch.Litilann's Siren and the
Fashion Model with an all time favourite Rosie ♥ Ch.Litilann's Absotivly Rosie! ♥

Shiraz and I did the big entrance ourselves in the
Senior Puppy Bitches
 (9 to 12 month) Class that had a total of 22 bitches!  
Like I said before however it's for the Pros! 

Thank you Terri for being able to make it out of the Toy Poodle Ring just in time to present Shiraz to Judge Jack MacGillivray and then taking her onto a
4th place out of 22 bitches!!!

A fun time for us judged by Tina Yuhl.  I later on enjoyed shopping at the beautiful raffle tables set up!  Thank you to everyone that participates and
volunteers at this most beautiful show!

​Needing 1 point now to finish her Canadian Championship,
off Shiraz and I went with all of her big puppy hair for Terri to do her
absolutely beautiful scissoring magic on her.  
After two airplane rides, we caught up with Terri Meyers for our
road trip to Poodle Club of America 70th National Specialty and
my third time at PCA (2002).   

First is a small road trip (compared to Maryland that is) to West Fargo,
North Dakota where Shiraz and I took Reserve Winners Bitch twice to a major out of three days then back to Terri's to get ready and off to the
Greatest Show on Earth!!!

What a thrill it was to compete and place over 10 Standard Poodles
for a 4 point win (including a ​
Best In Show Special) ... Breeder/Owner/Handled & Groomed by myself from my first litter!
We continued on to compete in the 
Non Sporting Group where we received a Group 4th & Best Puppy in Group!! 
Picture
An exquisite win from Judge Maxine Beam! ♥
This was a very prestigious win with the total of 5 points (the most you can get at one show) for a silver puppy now putting Shiraz on 9 points
towards her Canadian Championship title!!!  
♥
​
Thank you Judge Maxine Beam for finding the quality in my Shiraz.​​
​
I had purposely left extra hair on Shiraz as for this was the weekend before
​ I was to take her to Terri Meyers of 
Swag Poodles in Minnesota, U.S.A. hence the reason I have a lot of hair on her in this photo above is for Terri to put
her very special Puppy Trim on Shiraz for PCA!!!

​We made do with what we could get however you know what went shopping for later on back at home! LOL​
