Our sires and dams are Conformation Champions proving they look like Poodles should look. They also more importantly, have performance titles proving their great temperaments and willingness to work. Dogs owned by others are chosen based on the same merit, but it is a challenge finding suitable dogs that meet all of our criteria. We have previously shipped semen in from out west and drove to Northern Ontario to complete a breeding with the right dog not just the most convenient or the local "super star". Our breeding pairs are carefully chosen to complement each other in health, temperament, conformation and structure with the goal of happy, healthy, well adjusted, puppies that make the most discriminating proud.
