While we had hopes of Dah reamining symptom
free, it has
returned, as it so often does. However
we hope that those of
you who see this, and perhaps have a dog
with SA, will recognize that
it is, for the most part, only cosmetic
and can be dealt with, treated and
we can love and enjoy them for many years.
For those of with you with Standard Poodles
who are Affected
with this disease, we STRONGLY encourage
you to post the
information on the Poodle Health Registry
so that, in the future,
others may avoid this sad event.

It is with great sadness that I retire my
"Bunny" from the future
of Highfalutin' Poodles. Dah has been
diagnosed with SA...Sebaceous
Adenitis, a hereditary skin disease.
It is not fatal, and she will live
a long and wonderful life, but we will never
see the next generation.
I had such high hopes for what she would
contribute to the future
generations of the Partis. I am now
left to wonder what
might have been.

Dah was a force to be reckoned with, starting
her show career
at just 4 months old as a Novice Puppy,
winning 2 Reserve Best
Puppy In Show. Quickly moving on to
a Best In show win in her first
day of competitive shows and attaining her
UKC Champion title in just
4 shows at 6 months and 1 day old.
Over a short period of a few weekends, Dah
amassed a impressive
record of multiple BIS and RBIS wins and
always a Group placement.
Finishing out the 2008 year with a
Best In Show at the California
Classic and ranked as the #2 Multi colored
Standard Poodle in the
country for 2008. Not bad for a 13
month old Poodle girl who had
just barely gotten started!
She has been everything I had ever hoped
for... a happy, loving,
gentle girl who is my best buddy, makes
me smile no matter what,
and has made me so very proud with all of
her amazing accomplishments.
She will now live the life of a spoiled
pet, with no concerns about
dating, having babies or raising a passel
of unruly babies. She is a
champion in every sense of the word.
