One single darling Groenendael girl puppy - Ch Mirribandi
Phoenix brings new and exciting
bloodlines to Australia, which benefits both our Tervueren and Groenendael
breeding programs.
Phoenix's outstanding character and
lovely nature are a joy to live with, and a joy to show. She is such a happy
girl!
Proving she is not just a pretty face,
Phoenix earned her CD (Companion Dog) Obedience title in three straight trials -
collecting a 5th placing, a 2nd placing and finally a 1st place and a special
trophy for Highest Score for Heel Off Lead.
We are proud to crown Phoenix is our best
brood bitch, with progeny who have gone on to dizzy heights with their
Specialty Show achievements and All Breeds Show achievements, as well as
obedience and agility achievements. This
has earned
30.07.09
We arrived at Cobbity, NSW, for the Specialty show, when the
phone call came through from Mum saying that Phoenix had passed away…… Many tears later, we are still coming to
terms with the loss of this great Belgian.
No autopsy was done.
The vet said she had hemophiliac anemia, which are auto immune symptoms,
of unknown causes. It was about a 2 week
turn around from when
She came into this world at the vets, and left this world at
the vets….
I hope she knew how much we all loved her, as we didn’t get a
chance to say our final goodbyes.
Phoenix was our best producer – and her sons did her proud
the next day at the Specialty show, with Tzar taking out Best of Breed
Groenendael, Best In Show, and Best Open In Show, and Bailey taking Tervueren
Dog Challenge, and Best Australian Bred in Show.
Our trip to the NSW Specialty was very bitter sweet. So many tears. Excellent wins in the ring, overshadowed by
our sense of grief and loss of a very special and very much loved Belgian.
We miss you
