Team Winters Wind

Our story began with one red standard poodle puppy named Sienna. Rob and I believe when we first held her, that the seed for Winters Wind was planted. It is fascinating how the human heart beat can connect with the heart of our canine family. Parents can understand, as it is similar to the bond that happens when you first hold your newborn.

Often we hear from people who do not own a Standard Poodle, that they are fru fru dogs. Far from it! Here at Winters Wind we believe that the Standard Poodle has the capability to perform at any task. We see this in our poodles. Our dogs and dogs from our lines have titles in: Conformation, Service & Therapy Work (certified), Weight Pulling, Dog Sledding, Obedience, Rally, Lure Coursing, Dock Jumping, Agility, Fly Disc, Nose Work, Barn Hunt, Field Trials, and one is working on a herding title! We hope to add search and rescue and cadaver work to this list in the future.

Winters Wind has health tested poodles because our mission is to improve this amazing and versatile breed. We also are working toward having all our dogs VGL tested for diversity through UC Davis University. Diversity is needed within the breed. By using the VGL testing and matching our Poodles to Poodles of out laying genetics, we can strength the immune system of our dogs.

Not all Poodles are created equal. Winters Wind strives to give each puppy born here an edge or a jump start. Beginning with Momma getting excellent nutrition, supplements, exercise and health checks. Puppies are born in a whelping room right off our bedroom. We have invested in a state of art neonatal unit which includes an special incubator (Puppy Warmer), oxygen bubblier, uniquely designed whelping box and our vet makes house calls. We begin ENS (good information here: http://breedingbetterdogs.com/article/early-neurological-stimulation ) at day 3 - 16, puppies are exposed to the Rule of Seven (https://www.thewholedog.org/ruleof7.html ), side note that Dr. Jeannie mentioned in the article owns a Winters Wind Poodle. Our puppies are given toddler interactive toys for increased cognitive skills, we have a puppy play gym (concept is similar to the play sets for infants and toddlers), we host puppy play days; we invite friends and families to come and socialize with our puppies. Puppies when older are exposed to kittens, cats, and other small dogs (Pomeranian's and Yorkies). Puppies are beginning house training at 4 weeks (special whelping box design) and begin crate training before leaving our home. Puppies move from their whelping room around the age of 4 weeks to the puppy bedroom, located near our kitchen; from here they can romp freely around our home. This is what we believe sets, a Winters Wind Poodle apart. Like children they say the most informative years are up to age 8. Our philosophy is the first 10 weeks of a puppies life are critical for cognitive, social, emotional and physical development. This is why we keep our pups until at least 10 weeks of age.
