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 ...💔

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

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!!! ♥

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!!!

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!!!
towards her Canadian Championship title!!! ♥
