I have owned Standard poodles since 2000 and participated in my first confomation show in 2002. In that time, I have handled 8 Standards and 1 Miniature to their Champion titles. Of these, three were my own prefix, one going on to his Grand Champion title. Capanash poodles also compete successfully in obedience (mostly with Marlene handling).I have been involved with Poodle Club Of Victoria commit

tee (Vice president, committee, puppy officer, webmaster, point score secretary). During the week, I am a secondary Science/Maths teacher. Having a Bachelor of Science degree has re-enforced the need for health testing when breeding, with health and good temperament being of the utmost importance.We believe in letting poodles be dogs so none of ours are kenneled and all sleep in the house. They are also allowed to run and play together (yes even the show dogs!). We have an 85 acre property that the poodles have a great time exploring.

Even though mum is away showing Stella, it was Vera who made the local paper in Condobolin.

Congratulations to Marlene Sharpe on gaining Stella's last few points so she will now be known as...
AUSTRALIAN CHAMPION Capanash Stars Dark Desire (pending paperwork)

Mum is ticking the Condobolin show circuit off her 'now I am retired' bucket list. Stella is handling the travel like a pro and making lots of new friends. They have also won 5 Puppy in Groups.

At just 10 months it is lovely to have titled the two siblings.

Announcing that baby Jarvis has gained enough points to be know as AUSTRALIAN CHAMPION Capanash Dark Starry Night (pending paperwork).

This is all the sweeter as he broke his leg 5.5 months ago and had a plate put in his elbow, so we were happy to have him walking again let alone being a show pony. At almost 10 months, he still has a lot of growing up to do... especially in the brain department. I do hope that one day he settles into being a sensible show boy.
Thank you to all his supporters who gave me hope of a full recovery. He just loves the attention of shows and has a knack of demanding people be his friend.

This makes Australian Champion #3 for his daddy Am Ch Aust Ch Targa All The Stars (Import USA).

Thankyou again to Coralie Moya Josephine Turnley Tom Mangan for making this litter possible.

Stella (Capanash Stars Dark Desire) had a wonderful 3 shows in Melbourne. She was awarded 3x Best of Breed, totalling 28 points and is now more than halfway to her title. Today she won a lovely PUPPY IN GROUP. At 9.5 months old she is coming together nicely and starting to think like a show dog instead of silly puppy.

A country trip away to Culcairn with the two babies for 3 shows. Lovely dog friendly accomodation. They are 7.5 months age and just want to play together- not ideal for the show ring :)

STELLA: 2X BCC, 2X RUBOB, 1X BOB, 1X MINOR IN GROUP, 1X PUPPY IN GROUP + 2nd place in 6-12 month Sweepstakes.
JARVIS: 3X DCC, 1X RUBOB, 1X BOB

Trying to get a nice photo of the puppies was hard work. Poor Marlene Sharpe having to hold them while they played and chomped at each other.

Jarvis (Capanash Dark Starry Night) at 7 months old.
This was his return to showing after 3 months off recovering from a broken leg. Still some shaved bits to finish growing back but huge improvement. He just needs to muscle up in his shoulders and learn show ring manners.
Thank you to Sam for the pretty photos.

18/05/2024

Super proud to post this Jarvis (Capanash Dark Starry Night) update...
Jarvis broke his leg at 4 months old and at 7 months old he has had his return to the show ring, gaining his first challenge points. Thank you to all his fan clubs for the support. He is the most joyful little dog and a delight to live with.

Baby Stella (Capanash Stars Dark Desire) had some more show ring practice this weekend and is slowly becoming a good girl. She gained 12 points towards her title plus a MINOR PUPPY IN GROUP. Owned and handled by Marlene Sharpe

21/04/2024

Baby Stella, at just 6 months old, was awarded her 1st points towards her title. She is not taking the show life too seriously and continues to entertain onlookers with her 'joie de vie' :)

More baby Jarvis (Capanash Dark Starry Night) photos.
He was so tired after being at the show.

27/01/2024

Baby Jarvis (Capanash Dark Starry Night) aka Mr Blue had his first show today. Let's just say he had lots of fun and made lots of new friends.
This is the good 3 seconds from the 1:40 video... the rest involved shenanigans.
It is very humbling showing a baby again... in the show ring they do want they want, when they want :)

11/01/2024

Stella & her litter mates are 3 months old today, how quickly has that time passed and how much have they grown.

08/01/2024

Hugh is starting to realise that a little brother isn't that bad. Baby Jarvis absolutely loves him and just wants to be his best friend.

Wishing all our Capanash family a Merry Christmas and safe holidays.
From Caroline, Marlene and our two little brats, Jarvis And Stella.

Beef brisket bones are a favourite for the pups. We buy a big piece from the butcher and cut it up into chomping sized pieces. They demolish a chicken wing in a minute so this gives them more chewing time.

Introducing the two ratbags we are keeping.

Last group puppy cuddles. Two fly off tomorrow.

A morning of bones for the gang. Chicken drumsticks and lamb. They are so lovely and quiet when eating :)

The chaos of loading 9 puppies into the van. They love exploring new places, life is just one big adventure :) 7.5 weeks old.

Can you get any happier than a Heather Blazko in a pile of puppies? Lovely having friends come to socialise the gang. 7 weeks and 3 days old... not long til they go to their new homes.

Chunks of lamb rib to share with the gang. Interesting to see who the winners are with chomping time. They trashed their bedroom because it was raining and they were locked up this afternoon. Miss Green was practising her manners by asking for a pat. 6 weeks and 2 days old... time flies.

Travelling in style on the way back to the car from their vet appointment. Great experience for them with road noise and an unfamiliar environment.

Big day out for the gang today for their 6 week check up. Vaccinated, microchipped and health checked. Everyone passed and enjoyed the cuddles :) Mum and dad joined their kids for the day out. Thank you to Dr Suki at Craigieburn Animal Hospital for being so kind for their first vet experience.

A $10 balance board from Kmart makes an excellent toy to get their little brains and bodies working. It had been down for about 30 seconds before I started filming. Very brave puppies.

They started on fresh meat this week and are loving it. They chomp it for a while then mumma gets to finish it off.

Lunchtime for the gang. 5.5 weeks old

Week 6- dad is hanging with his kids.

At 4.5 weeks old the puppies are a big black mass of cuteness.

Miss Yellow and Miss Purple were straight in to try their new toy as soon as they saw it... even though it was 9pm and they were meant to wait until daytime to explore it. The product description says "HELPS DEVELOP FINE MOTOR SKILLS - Incorporates a variety of stimulating colours, shapes, and textures; all-day play for children ages 6 months to 3 years". Over achievers at just 4 weeks :)

Al fresco dining in the beautiful weather. Puppies are almost 4 weeks.

Babies first haircut. Miss Purple was a good girl and didn't seem too bothered by the experience. It is so important to start grooming them young as grooming is such a big part of a poodles life. 3.5 weeks old.

Our Story

I have owned Standard poodles since 2000 and participated in my first confomation show in 2002. In that time, I have handled 10 Standards and 1 Miniature to their Champion titles. Of these, 4 were my own prefix, 3 going on to their Grand Champion title and our German Import Ahornstreets Vallimont RN gaining his Supreme title with multiple All breeds Best in Shows. Capanash poodles also compete successfully in obedience (mostly with Marlene handling). Capanash Poodles are very proud of Dual Ch(T) Capanash Dark Dawn Arising (Wynton) co-owned and handled by Denis Cody. I have been involved with Poodle Club Of Victoria committee (Vice president, committee, puppy officer, webmaster, point score secretary). During the week, I am a secondary Science/Maths teacher. Having a Bachelor of Science degree has re-enforced the need for health testing when breeding, with health and good temperament being of the utmost importance. We believe in letting poodles be dogs so none of ours are kenneled and all sleep in the house. They are also allowed to run and play together (yes even the show dogs!). We have an 85 acre property that the poodles have a great time exploring.
