Ahsoka or "Soaks" as she's more affectionately known is the Finnish Lapphund that made Shell fall in love with Finnish Lapphunds. Soaks burst onto the scene in 2008, a gorgeous ball of energy and fun. Everything Ahsoka does is done at 100km an hour and although she does love a cuddle, she is up and ready for action at the slightest suggestion that we might be going somewhere or doing something. Because of this, she is jokingly nicknamed Extreme Soakie.
As she grew, Soaks started showing her aptitude for a large number of sports, competing in obedience, rally and flyball as well as training in agility and competing in the show ring. She absolutely lives for toys and her ball but is a huge foodie too which makes her an awesome dog to work with. She is handler focused and keen to please. Throughout her life, Soaks spent a lot of time with Shell - going to flyball competitions and rally trials while Nik was busy being a doctor! Soaks' favourite sport of all is flyball. She is the easiest dog to run, able to be handled by anyone, anywhere in the order and run onto any dog, a testament to Nik's amazing training methods. In Soaks, she has trained the ultimate flyball dog! There are very few handlers at our club who have not run her at some time or another! In early 2014, with Nik's work commitments taking her overseas and around Australia, it meant she was no longer going to have the time to dedicate to her dogs that they needed. Heartbreakingly, she decided to find them loving new homes. Shell jumped at the chance to have Soaks full time and did an amazing job at giving Soaks a home that she thrived in. She slotted into Shell's pack like she had always been there and loved sharing her days with Zero and Squiggle. Shell continued to train and compete with Soaks, starting her Agility trialling career and even taking her Lure Coursing! While Soaks has since returned "home" in 2016, she will always be a part of Shell's family and Nik will forever be indebted to her for not only caring for Soaks when she couldn't, but for allowing her to return back to her, to help heal her broken heart. Soaks is now living it up and is often found either asleep at Nik's feet until the jingle of leads or the suggestion of a trip in the car. Though Soaks has retired from what she would call the "boring" sports, she continues to compete in Flyball and Agility. |
