Hi everyone - while we’ve loved producing beautiful poodle puppies, we’ve come to difficult decision to take a break from planned litters after this one.
At this time, all puppies have found homes but we are taking a waiting list for a litter approximately a year or 18 months from now ❤️

03/18/2024

Lark, Falcon, Robin and Raven (now Angus) have been selected ❤️
All pups now have amazing homes!

First puppy has arrived 🥳

Happy to announce Xena had six beautiful pupppies last night. Four girls, two boys and they are all so beautiful. Stay tuned for pics in the next couple days.

Puppies had a puppy party to celebrate going to their new homes!

06/25/2023

Seven weeks old now!

06/24/2023

We hope to complete all testing on Saturday, do our scoring on Sunday, and hopefully get the reports out Sunday night!
Puppy picks will start 24 hours after reports are released.
Why the loosy-goosy timing? Because it’s important that puppies receive very little stimulation on testing day. If they are tired, revved up, overstimulated, too hungry, too full, too sleepy … then this influences the results.
So stay tuned while we find the perfect time!

Our babies are FIVE weeks old! Almost peak cuteness ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

06/05/2023

The puppies are over four weeks old and doing so well. Using the litter trays, pads and going outside almost every time! They are getting exposed to small challenges, meeting new people and animals, and generally having a great time ❤️

Photos from this week!
Puppies turned four weeks old today and it’s time for new, safe, happy exposures.
Tune into Instagram for more, FB is not quite as user-friendly :)

Todays pictures!

Puppy curriculum has begun!
You can see here a screenshot of our software program where we track their weights, their Early Scent Introduction (ESI) and Early Neural Stimulation (ENS).
We use the Empowered Breeder program.
ENS and ESI are believed to encourage neurological development and increase resilience in newborn puppies.
You can also see how much weight they’re gaining - holy crow!!
Xena continues to do well though she is very picky about what she will and won’t eat. Today it was ‘no’ to raw chicken but ‘yes’ to organ meats.
And Dogfather is up all night, waiting on her hand and foot (or paw?) 😆

This year’s project was building an accessible whelping box.

As many of you know, Dogfather lives with cerebral palsy, a physical disability that limits his mobility and results in chronic pain. Kneeling and bending can be very challenging, so we built a raised box with stairs.

This is where the puppies will be born and spend their first two to three weeks ❤️

And no, they can’t fall out! The beauty of custom builds is you can do it all to your own high standards!
