It felt *so* good to get my handsome boy back into the show ring last weekend.

Reflecting this morning on these 4 generations of beautiful black Poodles. It all started with Sherry Stanley’s gorgeous boy Cosi, and currently stands at Abigail Kitchen’s stunning boy Enzo. I can’t wait to see what Link has in store for our own program in the coming years!

I've had multiple people ask about our website. We had some technical difficulties with it some time ago, but because I was not showing heavily last year and did not have any short-term breeding plans, it fell lower on my priority list. I have been working on our site since around the new year, and now that I have enough basic information added I feel like it can be published once again. We will be adding more information to it as time allows.

Element Standard Poodles has been showing, competing, breeding, researching, and learning with Standard Poodles since 2014.

I think we all can agree that a good job makes a man all the more handsome 😍

It’s been a long, hectic weekend. I got this photo once we were already home, but I wanted to give a shoutout to baby Dúri. She had her first ever AKC show this weekend, the Indy Winter Classic. It was a huge show with thousands of entries. She took it all in stride like a pro. Not only was she very well behaved at this show, but she was friendly to all the new people she met, good for the judges, and she even earned her CGCA and CGCU on site. I am so proud of her solid temperament at such a stressful show.

This was also my first time doing a spray up on Dúri/for a dog show. Even though I’ve shown Link in AKC, he was in a modified so I did not use hair spray on him. I’m not gonna lie, the first day was rough 😂 I was running way behind getting there because I’d been sick the day before so I got behind bathing dogs and getting everything ready to leave. Even though I’m sure I could have made a ton of improvements, today’s spray up was a huge improvement on yesterday’s so to me, that was a big win! I’m really looking forward to continue learning how to be a better handler with my girls.

Dúri also got a new “training” toy 😂

PS HUGE congrats to our friend Molli and Elliot at Indigo Standard Poodles for finishing his AKC CH in ONE weekend!!!

One of the best parts of showing dogs is making new friends 🥰

Our friends at Ivy Lane Poodles also had a great show weekend, nabbing up a Reserve Best in Show with their girl Prudence! For anyone looking, Ivy Lane is planning for their first litter this summer with their beautiful Pru!

So proud of my beautiful girls this weekend!!

Dúri won the champion class x3 putting her over half way to her grand championship! In addition, we tried weight pull for the first time ever and she qualified, giving her the first pass to her UWP title, and earning her a total dog award!

Moria was not going to be outdone by big sister, and won reserve best in show puppy x2 this weekend in a good sized puppy class! Then she blew me away at the very end of the show weekend taking our first Best Puppy In Show!!!

No shows until the new year means a few weeks to work on coat maintenance and growth. Dúri got a deep conditioning treatment tonight followed by a brush out and an application of keratin spray before wrapping her topknot and banding her ears. Then because she’s naughty she got a hefty dose of bitter spray on those ears and front legs to keep the chewing at bay 💪
