 Quality Standard Poodles in Black, Blue, Apricot, Cream and Parti-colors
2012 will celebrate 14 years as owners/breeders/exhibitors of this unique and elegant breed, the Standard sized Poodle.......
We are two sisters whose association with Poodles began at a young age.
We grew up enjoying the companionship of Toy and Miniature poodles thanks to our grandmother.
Our parents also instilled in us a love for animals and because of that
we have spent most of our lives enjoying the rewards of owning
a menagerie of furry companions.
Our poodles enjoy the country life on 15 acres which is nestled
along a fast moving stream that winds through some of the state's beautiful National forests.
Like most people, we were frustrated of having to deal with years of pet hair
We began to recollect how "hairless" it was at grandma's house since she owned the poodles.
Being active and outdoorsy, a toy or miniature poodle was out of the question.....but what about one in
Our search was on as we began researching the Standard size Poodle.
We were intrigued with all the gorgeous colors that poodles came in.
But with no internet at our fingertips at that time, it seemed only reasonable to bring home our first Standard Poodle in a curly coat of black.
It didn't take long to become convinced that this was a special breed.
Smart, loyal and protective with a sense of humor....who could ask for more.
Some time later, we began to be amazed with the gorgeous shades of apricot.
And a few years after that the unique history and patterns of parti-colored poodles
We have since become determined to contribute to improving both colors to the best of our ability.
That means we won't always produce apricots or parti-colors
as we need to use other color lines to bring in different attributes from time to time.
We both work away from home and since this is a hobby not a business, we won't have a new litter of puppies continually throughout the year. We often times have puppies available spring and/or fall.
We enjoy getting to know our new puppy families while they wait for that special puppy from us.
Although we love the Apricots and Multicolors,
we believe we have more to offer you than a dog boasting a "certain" color or size.
We consider health, temperament, intelligence
and reaching the preferred standard to be the most important.
Nature doesn't always guarantee perfect health when breeding dogs but we guarantee that the dogs we do breed have been health tested themselves.
We wait until our dogs are of health-tested age
to introduce them into our breeding program
and at times have waited until age three or older.
Our poodle moms have on the average no more than 3 litters in their lifetime if even that.
We don't support mixing our Standard Poodles with other breeds
in following the latest trends.... so you will not find any "designer"
or "doodles" being offered on this site.
It makes no sense to charge families large sums of money for a mixed breed?
If that is what you prefer, then by all means,
please help those in a shelter needing a home.
We raise PUREBRED,
AKC registered , Standard Poodles ONLY!!
We double and at times triple register some of our dogs
with other clubs such as United Kennel Club(which is the 2nd oldest U.S. club) and Canada
to be able to participate in their events.
We research pedigrees and health data bases and seek advice
from other experienced Standard Poodle breeders when choosing
a new poodle whether it be for breeding
to one of our girls or adding a poodle to join our family.
We do not line breed or intentionally in-breed.
Our poodles have very low COI. which means low in-breeding.
We have found in our years with Standard poodles
that they are affectionate, intelligent,
and thrive on praise and attention.
They make excellent companions
for the family as well as
obedience, therapy, and hunting dogs.
At the same time Standard Poodles have been described as
cautious or aloof with those they do not know,
but display an extra-ordinary sense of loyalty
to their own family members and those they are familiar with.
It is commonly thought that the standard poodle
was originally bred as a duck retriever
and for this reason many of the breed
are keen and eager to participate in water dog sports.
Today they remain
an active and hardy outdoor dog
but can adapt well to indoor living if their human family
provides adequate exercise.
Whether it be in the city or the country,
the Standard Poodle is at home.
It is our desire, that by visiting our site,
you will not only get to know us and our dogs a bit better
but come to appreciate all of the hard work, time and effort
that goes into maintaining a high standard when it comes to
raising quality standard poodles.
We always welcome phone conversations and visits by appointment after
initial contact via our puppy application.
Please Enjoy our website!!
