Coco was my second German Shorthair and the foundation for Liverpoint.  She came from Heiderst Kennels in South Australia.  Her accolades include 2 Baby Puppy In Group, 2 Puppy In Group, 3 Minor Puppy in Group, 2 Junior in Group and a Parent & Progeny with her father at the GSP Club of South Australia Show in 2007.   She had a beautiful, sweet temperament which she passed onto her progeny.  Never the centre of attention but always standing to the side wagging her tail.  She was so very maternal with her own babies, but even more evident with her grandchildren.  When her daughter Lola came home at 2am with a litter of 8 puppies via cesarian section, Lola slept off the anaesthetic whilst Coco laid in the whelping box all night meticulously cleaning and tending to her new grandchildren.  Lola was more than obliging in allowing her mum Coco to help out over the following 8 weeks.  I would regularly see Coco shaking toys in her grandkids' faces - teaching them to play.

Unfortunately, Coco passed away on 17th October 2015 at the young age of 8.  She developed a pancreatic tumour resulting in seizures.  The tumour was removed however, she died several hours after surgery from a blood clot.  She is missed terribly and has left a gaping hole in my heart.

Rest In Peace darling Coco.  30/01/07 - 17/10/15
