Wink was born in
Somerset and came over to Ireland in 1999 with her mother, father
and sister.
Wink
had every reason not to be with us, because when she was born she
weighed only 185 grams (6½ ounces), but, typical of her spirit, she pulled
through and has rewarded us time and time again - she was a very,
very special dog. All of our kennel names have the first
letters of the dam and sire so in Wink's case this was S for Sassie and Q for Quillan her 'Semi Quaver' seemed so right for
her!
Wink 'bubbled' from waking to going to bed
and was the first to play and chase. She brought laughter into
our lives and we are going to miss her greatly. Wink only
grew to the bottom of the 'standard' height - however as a puppy
she won BP at the prestigious 'St Patrick's Day' show in Dublin
and has won two Reserve Green Stars at Championship shows. This is Wink photographed
at 10 days of age alongside her sister Sofie - Wink was only half
the size - but twice the character! She rests under the
apple trees alongside her mother, father and uncle Harry.
Sleep well lovely girl we will always miss you but never forget
you, you will always be our bright star!
