Our Mission
Our mission is to share with others the joy of owning,
hunting, and competing (in any venue) with one of the
most versatile and intelligent of dogs. To accomplish this,
we are committed to doing our best to breed poodles (aka
"pudels") with the genetic health, physical strength,
structure, and mental soundness necessary to avoid a
complete loss of the very characteristics that have made
them popular in the field, water, other competitive and
fun venues, and as companions.
We have carefully selected our
breeding stock to blend dogs
with retrieve drives, proper
temperament, health (our
breeding dogs are health
tested according to CHIC guidelines), and those with
structural qualities which enable them to work without
undue injury.
While approximately 60% of our puppies' purchasers buy
them solely as companions, we take our goals seriously
and have immersed ourselves in the training (ours and
the dogs) that will prove to a world where survival hunting
has nearly vanished, that retrievers' instincts haven't
(even those of the forgotten retrievers). We are
committed to this effort and to continuing to learn new
methods of training our dogs.
We enjoy (really revel) in working with retrievers. This love
has resulted in multiple Master Hunter poodles for our
kennel.

We have put 39 titles on our poodles. They are highly intelligent, capable dogs who love their people.
Poodles vs. Others
The main reason we chose a poodle was
to alleviate allergies in our severely-
asthmatic daughter.
We owned a pair of Labrador Retrievers
when she was young who had to be
confined to one room in our home or
outside--not the life we wanted for our
furry family members.
Upon their passings, our research into
hypo-allergenic dogs led us to the
standard poodle. We are just sorry that
we missed years of poodle joy by
believing they were anything but
sporting dogs. Each one has been
everything we hoped for in a retriever
and family member.
And, they come with the added bonus of
no shedding.
Owning a poodle will change your
opinion too.
