Moria has been killing it in conformation, she attended both her first AKC and first UKC shows over the last couple of weeks. In AKC she won her class 2/4 shows, including a poodle specialty, defeating 4 other 6-9 month old puppies. We then took her to her first UKC show as a licensed competitor and she took breed over 3 grand champions and went on to win a group 2! Looking forward to this girl’s bright future!

Last Monday, Miya, one of the puppies from my Avatar litter (2017), bloated. Her family was quick to react and were able to get her to the Emergency vet in time for her to get the treatment she needed.

Bloat is an absolute emergency. Standard Poodles are predisposed to this condition due to being a deep chested breed. Environmental conditions can also be a factor (stress, excessive drinking, sudden change in diet, etc). Unfortunately there is no health test that can be sent into the lab to determine if a dog will bloat in its lifetime.

Because of this, all I can recommend as a breeder and owner of this beloved breed, is to be proactive. Know the signs and symptoms so intervention can begin as early as possible.
-distended abdomen
-vomiting or retching
-excessive drooling
-pacing
-unable to defecate
-excessive panting
-pale gums
-weakness/collapse

I would also highly recommend a surgical procedure called a gastropexy. In this procedure, the stomach is tacked to the wall of the abdomen to prevent it from flipping in the event that a dog begins to bloat, which can give owners extra time to get their dog to the vet. This procedure can be done during the dog’s neuter/spay, generally for a decreased price of what it would cost to do seperately.

Any future puppies coming from my program will leave with an information sheet on bloat and what to watch out for. I will also offer a small compensation for any future puppy owners who are able to provide me with receipt of a gastropexy procedure (generally done when sexually altered).

This being said, as a breeder I can only test for so much, and there is still a possibility of bloat in my dogs/this breed. I still share in concern, anxiously await updates, and am here for moral support.

Link is on the job! While we worked we had opportunities to also practice some of the requirements for a farm dog certification, which we are working towards titling in over the summer.
