I am saddened to share that one of our poodle families last their beautiful poodle Gracie way too soon. Gracie was from our Linq & Charlotte Litter 2020. Here is what Gracie’s owner
shared: Gracie...1-7-20 ~ 8-19-24. This a post I did not expect to make for years. I lost my beautiful Gracie on monday to aspirate pneumonia. I saw her go from healthy to gone in less then 30 hours. I’m as blindsided by this as I can possibly be. Saturday night she was running around chasing rabbits and now l’m sitting here without her.
I’m stil processing her loss and what happened. She was at the best possible vets. I don’t know if I can respond to messages yet. We do plan on being there tomorrow for the poodle walk and I will be releasing some balloons in honor of my incredible girl. If you can be there and want to attend see the prior post for details. I just don’t know what to say or do right now.... Im at a total and complete loss. Just hug your babies tonight. I miss my girl.

We currently have three poodle lamps!

Linq, Luffy and Jemma where not the only ones to see our veterinarian yesterday, all three girls did also.
We officially closed two chapters in our breeding program with yesterday's appointments.
If you saw my post yesterday then you know:

*Linq had his senior panel done and received an updated rabies vaccine. He also has been retired from our breeding program but we have chosen to keep him intact for now for his over all health. Linq contributed some amazing happy, healthy, beautiful poodles to the poodle community that have gone on to be UKC show dogs, sports dogs, therapy dogs, service dogs and loving family pets. We look forward to keeping what he contributed going with his daughter Jemma and our two co-owns, Luffy and Penelope.

*Luffy received is final DHPP & Bordetella, along with received his first rabies.
*Jemma also received her final DHPP & Bordetalla, along with receiving her first rabies.

*Jackie is also officially retired from our breeding program and was spayed yesterday along with having her teeth cleaned. She has contributed beautiful happy healthy puppies to the poodle community that have gone on to become show dogs, service dogs and wonderful family pets.
We look forward to the future of our program with her daughter Jemma, and our three co-owns Jupiter, Luffy and Penelope.

*Lily had a small umbilical hernia that we decided to have corrected. She will continue to show, if she finishes in AKC or UKC then she will be health tested and possibly be bred.
After speaking with her breeder and our veterinarian we do not believe her hernia to be genetic.

*We have also decided to retire Prim from her breeding career, this decision was due to many reasons, so Prim was also spayed and had to have both front declaws redone as who ever did them when she was a puppy did not do them correctly. Reasons why we decided to also retire Prim:
1) She was not in love with being a mom.
Yes motherly instinct kicked in and she fed them, cleaned them and protected them, but outside of that had no interest in her puppies.
2) About 8 months ago she had 3 Sebaceous cyst show up that needed to be removed.
3) Her size, prey/ work drive and energy level is more than what I prefer in my personal dogs and breeding program.
4) Her litter with Devin's Purple Poodles and with use where both a total of 13 puppies, doing that size litter multiple times is hard on their bodies.
5) Last but not least the amount of adult poodles needing homes, in rescues and shelters has skyrocketed this year. With my original start being in the rescue community I don't feel comfortable producing a litter at this time. The stud owner from our Draco/ Prim litter did keep a show prospect so we do have access to Prim's lines.

*Please note, both Prim and Jackie will remain with Watts Poodles and live out their days as loved members of our family.

Jemma and Luffy both received their final puppy vaccine, bordetella vaccine and first rabies vaccine. Linq had his yearly exam and had blood drawn for a senior panel.

Jemma chewing away on my empty water bottle. Teething has definitely started.

It was time to make food for the furry kids again. Thank goodness the food they had lasted till I was feeling better. In the mix is chicken, beef heart, liver, kidney, eggs with shell, cranberry, blueberries, kelp, spinach, kale, broccoli, ginger, butternut squash, mushrooms, bell pepper, and tripe.

Happy 6th Birthday to our Deacon and Charlotte litter. Hard to believe these babies are now 6 years old. This litter all has a special piece of my heart as they are all related to our first show poodle Jack-Jack that we lost to the dog flu/pneumonia back in 2016. Deacon is Jack-Jack’s grandfather and in remembrance to Jack-Jack this litter was our J litter.

All the humans have been sick with Covid the last 10 to 8 days and are finally just starting to feel well enough to get everyone out and about again for short outings. The dogs have been surprisingly very good with having to be couch potatoes for a little over a week.

Congratulations to The Redman family on their new addition to the family, Bunny who is now named Penelope. Penelope went to our friend Marissa as a show and service dog prospect. Penelope is being co-owned with myself, Stephanie from Coyote Den Standards (Linq’s breeder) and Marissa.

This was a great article on bloat that was shared and since poodles are prone to bloat I wanted to share.

https://www.vin.com/apputil/content/defaultadv1.aspx?pId=11165&meta=Generic&id=3848657&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2rjt-ulay--JTWDUtpgQW30abzzFU11XHP0aiMXWX2z5i00HP7qgHRa_k_aem_JdBdHqXNANSXeS1_WIv87A

Canine bloat, or gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV), is the number-one cause of death for several large and giant breeds. If this painful disorder is not treated within one to two hours, it is life-threatening.

These two campaigning hard for our dinner. 🤣
