SwaY Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Trish Goertz passed away yesterday morning after a 17 year battle, Trish had German Spitz Mittel. We (friends of Trish's) titled her dog for her at the Lancefield weekend. He turned 12 months on the 27/12 and fortunately there were the 4 shows in which we could title him for her. It was Trish's little dog who recently took the group at Kilmore Agi. Trish had a passion for her breed and tried to promote it where ever she could and she liked to help the trainee judges also. Our hearts go out to her family and friends and her husband Ian. Edited January 29, 2011 by SwaY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadora Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Extremely sad news to hear of Trish's passing... I had always admired her fighting spirit and her ability to continue exhibiting and promoting the Breed despite her illness. She was and always will be much loved by those that knew her in the dog fraternity. Trish was a wonderful ambassador for the Breed, and was always very willing to share her in depth knowledge about her beloved Breed. A great loss for the Breed and the extended dog world. She will be sadly missed, and the Breed will not be the same without her. Her dogs were always given the greatest of love and the very best of care by herself and her husband, and always were in immaculate condition, and always looked beautiful in the ring. Deepest Condolences to Ian and his extended Family on their very sad loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very diificult time. Rest In Peace Trish... Janelle.

nynka Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 yes, Trish and Ian used to live in Tassie, I believe they moved to Melbourne so that Trish could have the best possible treatment available to her. Ian was very devoted and caring for Trish who was a treasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadora Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Please find following a note from Ian Goetze : To each and every dog exhibitor that offered their condolences on Trish's passing, we would like to express our sincere gratitude. Combined with the 100 person attendance at her life's celebration, these good wishes made it all that more special. We want you all to know that Trish's love and fighting spirit to the bitter end, starting in 1993 will never be forgotten. Her genuine love for and knowledge of the breed was outstanding, and the good company of her special friends at the shows eased her heavy burdens considerably. Again, many thanks, Ian Goetze and family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
