| Description: |
We are located in British
Columbia, Canada in the Metro Vancouver area, and the scenic,
waterfront city of Port Moody. We are not a kennel. Our puppies are
raised in our home with the adults sleeping in our beds and fully
participating in our everyday life.
As a breeder, our goal is to produce the ultimate Red and/or Apricot
Standard Poodle by carefully expanding the gene pool and proving our
sires and dams are worth of reproduction through Conformation
showing. We also have "champions" outside the show
ring in obedience, rally, agility and various health assisted areas
such as "seizure detection". By way of explanation,
the red and apricot are not two entirely different colours.
Rather they are shades of the same colour which drifts from a very
light apricot to a deep red and everything in between. Visit our
website
to visualize the variety of shadings.
Our Standards have competed in both the United States (AKC -- American
Kennel Club) and Canada (CKC -- Canadian Kennel Club), as puppies and
adults, and the puppies have gone to forever homes all over North
America, even Europe. We do not breed often, only when wanting
to move our line along. This is our 20th (2023) year at this endeavour!
From the beginning, we have been proud that our foundation "Scarlett"
was the first red female Champion in Canada, Owner Handled, and became
the top producing red in the world.
With respect to health, we test for:
-
vWD: Von Willebrand
Disease (the most common
inherited blood clotting disorder in dogs)
-
Hip Dysplasia (abnormally
developed hip joint)
-
CERF Exam (eye screening
exam carried out by
Veterinary Ophthalmologists)
-
Thyroid Level Test (blood
test evaluating the function
of the thyroid gland)
-
Sebaceous Adenitis (a
skin disease that leads to the
loss of hair)
All results can be verified for several generations by the OFA
(Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) at the following link: https://www.ofa.org/
