Defined Elegance Poodles

This girl is so amazing and such a fun baby! I have loved training and working with this girl. 🥰

We make it look easy 👏😁

I look so forward to a year of getting out and exploring with my dogs. Being more active is a big goal of mine this year.

She's one gorgeous little girl, love getting to work with not just a Dragon puppy but the lines in general. She's such a smart, good girl and picks up so easily on what I'm asking of her. Emily you bred one heck of a puppy! Can't wait to get in the ring with her next month! First Class Poodles

My first groom with North, I need to correct some areas and let other areas grow out but I'm happy with how she came out and have areas to tweak still. I feel like every groom is a constant work in progress haha. @firstclassstandardpoodles

Palace struggled a lot with a chain as a younger girl. She'd put her head down and practically hang herself. Over the last few weeks I've been desensitizing her to the feel and sound of a chain. She's been doing so well! As for the mail lady, we were several feet away from my mailbox as reference. I didn't pay any attention to the loud vehicle sound as 1 I was focusing on Palace's training, 2 I'm several feet into my driveway and 3 there is construction happening less than 20 feet from my home with diesels and heavy machinery driving back and forth. Not once did the mail lady say anything to notify me she was driving up, just drove up and came pretty close to us. No apology, just threw (literally) the mail in the box and drove away without shutting the box. It definitely bothered me since we were a few feet away from the street and very much not in the way.

I have loved getting to start her on the right foot at a young age with training. Something I wish I could do with Palace. I can't wait for North to make her debut in June! @firstclassstandardpoodles

Palace and North have definitely made fast friends haha!

Always a bunch of fun happening with these four cuties. 🥰

This girl, can you believe she's just over 2 now? If you would have told me when she was a baby that I'd show her to champion in just 2½ weekends, I never would have believed you. I was told by everyone she'd be hard to finish, she wouldn't be competitive because she's only 21 inches tall. But here we are, working on our free stacking and lead training, building confidence and training for dog sports, aiming for her grand next year! I really never would have thought I'd even show this girl when she was a pup. Truly if it wasn't for Emily pushing me and supporting me, keeping me going when I wanted to give up, I truly never would have reached this goal and started down this journey. I'm so excited for the future with Palace and now miss North and seeing how far they can go in the ring, then seeing future generations and what they do and accomplish!

I'm so excited to embark on this show journey with North and can't thank Emily with @firstclasspoodles for the opportunity and entrusting me with this gorgeous girl. I've learned so much with Palace and plan on using that knowledge to do my very best with Northie!

I'm so excited to start this next chapter. I won't be going back into the ring with Palace and Merlin until next June so while Palace grows back out (cause she is still going through coat change) we're gonna be starting agility, obedience and maybe dock diving and/or barn hunt, gundog, who knows! For now we are going to be diving in to agility and obedience. 🥰

The boots are to protect her paws, the few sidewalks out here are covered in bullhead thorns, so when we aren't dodging glass on the side of the road, we're having to stop and pick thorns out of her paws every few seconds! We stopped going for walks all together as it just wasn't safe for her. So these boots with a thicker rubber sole will allow us to go for safe walks again!

Something I feel gets over looked so often when raising puppies is momma getting that break from puppies and mental stimulation. Gwen has been so very attached to this litter, wanting to only leave them long enough to go potty then right back to them. So I have been making a point for her to get out at night when everyone else is asleep and giving her some type of mental stimulation. She gets so excited now for puzzle toys and to have that break but the freedom to get back to her babies whenever she wants. She'll often play with the toy and take a moment to check on her little ones before resuming her play. She truly is the best momma and so very doting. I adore this girl beyond words. • • • • #poodlesofinstagram #poodlesofutah #poodle #poodlepuppies #standardpoodle #standardpoodlesofinstagram #standardpoodlesarethebest #standardpoodlelife #standardpoodlepuppies #moyenpoodles #moyenpoodlesofinstagram #moyenpoodle #moyenpoodlepuppies #partipoodle #partipoodlesofinstagram #phantompoodlesofinstagram #phantompoodlepuppies #phantompoodle #sablepoodlesofinstagram #sablepoodlepuppies #sablepoodle #redpoodle #redpoodlesofinstagram #redpoodlepuppies #apricotpoodle #apricotpoodlesofinstagram #apricotpartipoodle #apricotpoodlepuppy

One day that baby will mature and I'll be able to see her eyes for the whole day. 🙄🥺😩

Their first time going outside! I can't believe these babies are 5 weeks old already, where has the time gone?! They are growing so quickly and doing so well. Please excuse the messy patio, we had snow and it melted causing minor flooding in the brick and causing a lot of dirt and clay to deposit.

Guinevere Babies

A very short video of the babies in a big ol pile. 🥰 They are actually very mobile and whenever I feed mommy I have to put her food bowl in a container that puppies can't climb over as they are already trying to get into her food! You can also see their potty spots on the potty pad side where they will crawl over the blanket and use the bathroom then crawl back to the other side. These kids aren't even 3 weeks old yet! I have a feeling these pups are going to be phenomenal!
