Shae and Zoe are still looking for retirement homes to enjoy.

This is not an URGENT request. I won't place them unless I know the home is the best home for them. They will not be free.

Both dogs are fully crate trained, but currently get free roam of a dog room I have when I'm out of the house, and over night if they don't sleep in my bed. They are leash trained. They know sit, down, wait, etc. Both are rally champions (Zoe has done offleash). Both were raised around cats and do not care (however they both are litter box bandits and will eat cat food if they can get it). Both are awesome table dogs and are used to baths, grooming, etc.

They would be fantastic pets for someone wanting to get into UKC Veterans/Altered/Juniors and/or do Rally/Obedience with, if a family wanted to get their feet wet.

Shae - BIMBS GRCH URO1 Rose City's Scarlet Letter SPOT, Total Dog

Shae is 7 years old (Born in July of 2017) and spayed. She weighs around 42lbs and is about 24.5" at the withers. She does have moderate hip dysplasia which I give daily supplements for. Although she's 7, you can barely tell her age or her dysplasia. She is a high energy dog and loves playing fetch and with her toys. She is prone to heat stroke, as when she was about 3 years old, she had one, so any future owners need to be aware of that and watch her in the heat. She is trained to use stairs to get up on my bed, but still does fine jumping up on the couch and down. Her favorite thing to do is fetch. Any toy. Any time. Any day. She loves to play with the other dogs, as long as a toy is involved. She is a lovely girl who enjoys sleeping in bed with you. She is the perfect table dog and has amazing coat texture – would be awesome for anyone wanting to do grooming competitions.

Zoe - GRCH URO3 Rose City's Ask Her to Dance, SPOT, Total Dog

Zoe is also 7 years old (born June of 2017). She is about 38-40lbs and 23" at the withers. She is NOT SPAYED yet and she will need to be spayed before leaving here. She is the mother to both my litters and to my keepers: Zendaya, Envy and Alexander. She is a velcro dog and will love you to the moon and back. Her favorite thing to do is just be with and near you. She will follow you into the bathroom. She will want to sleep right beside you at your head. She will watch you cook. She will love you forever. She will do best in a home with one other dog, or no other dogs. She does get jealous, and it's a reason why I feel she'd do better in a new home. She is not really one to play often with the other dogs, she'd rather play with you. However sometimes she does get in moods to play with Alexander, but doesn’t like playing with Zendaya or Shae. She is a GREAT rally dog, and I had wanted to get her Rally Master, but haven't been able to yet. I think she'd also LOVE agility.

I am located in Central Virginia, about 35 minutes south of Richmond. Again, this is not urgent. They will not leave here without me knowing they have the perfect homes. I will be heading to Perry, GA at the end of this month.

I have opted to not put the two together and would prefer separate homes for them.

The official win photo is in!

Thank you so much to UKC Judge Stephanie Mueller for picking Alexander in your Champion class on Friday in Cynthiana, KY.

Alexander earned his Grand Champion title at 1 year and 3 months old.

We only have a few more shows lined up for this year, then Alex will be taking a break to sit out and mature and do some sports. We will be in Perry and doing some Rally as well with him (and hopefully Zendaya), then our UPA Poodle Specialty in October, and then Eastern Classic in November.

Alexander did very well at the show in Kentucky today. He did amazing in show one, but blew it out of the park for show two, winning the Champion class against four other lovely dogs!

I want to thank UKC Judge Stephanie Mueller for giving us his last leg today.

Alexander is my 3rd bred-by UKC Grand Champion, and I couldn't be more proud of him right now.

We want to thank everyone who has reached out about Zoe and Shae.

Zoe is currently on hold, pending a meet and greet with a potential adopter.

Shae is still looking for a retired home. I wanted to give some more information about her:

BIMBS GRCH URO1 Rose City's Scarlet Letter SPOT Total Dog

- Her favorite thing to do is run and fetch. Any toy, any ball, any time of the day.
- She has high energy levels. Would do great with a family/person that likes walks/hiking. She LOVES to go hiking. However, when she's inside with you, while she still will play fetch, she doesn't mind sleeping on her bed or on the couch.
- She loves the water and has been introduced to swimming.
- She has her Grand Champion title in UKC and even won a Best in Show. She also has her Rally title and could do Rally with her new owners. We never did go to off-leash Rally because she can be a little SQUIRREL and I have to admit I don't trust her completely off leash sometimes.
- She does have moderate hip dysplasia but it doesn't seem to get her down. I do give her one Cosequin tablet a day (Which she takes easily, don't even need to wrap it) to help and it seems to do well. I do have stairs for her to get on my bed however, since my bed is very high.
- She is spayed.
- She is crate trained, leash trained, knows most basic obedience but is sometimes very stubborn and won't listen to you at all. (Poodles, am I right?). She is great on the grooming table. She has great coat texture, if anyone is looking for a grooming competition dog. I have kept her short for a long while, but if you wanted a poodle in a great coat, she's for you.
- She is friendly with most dogs, but has met the occasional dog she hasn't liked (mostly ones that are very in her face, high energy). Will need to do a meet and greet with any new dogs she might be living with.
- While she is not as velcro as Zoe, she will still love you and sleep with you. She isn't the biggest fan of sleeping IN your lap, but is happy to lay at your feet and sometimes does sleep on you in bed.

Happy to answer any more questions you may have about her.

I have shared some pictures here of her to maybe show a little bit about her athleticism and energy level.

As much as I hate it, I have decided to try and find retirement homes for both Shae and Zoe. This is an extremely tough decision for me, but I think it is in the best interest for them.

This is a tough post for me to make, because when I got them, they were my pets first, and then I got into showing, and then breeding. However, I feel that it is time for both of them to find their own retirement, permanent homes with families that will spoil them immensely. Also, if I want to continue growing my program and if I plan to bring some outside lines in, unfortunately I can't just keep adding more and more dogs without finding amazing new homes for the ones that are retired.

This is not an URGENT request. I won't place them unless I know the home is the absolute correct home. They will not be free.

Both dogs are fully crate trained, but currently get free roam of a dog room I have when I'm out of the house, and over night if they don't sleep in my bed. They are leash trained. They know sit, down, wait, etc. Both are rally champions (Zoe has done offleash). Both were raised around cats and do not care (however they both are litter box bandits and will eat cat food if they can get it). Both are awesome table dogs and are used to baths, grooming, etc.

They would be fantastic pets for someone wanting to get into UKC Veterans/Altered/Juniors and/or do Rally/Obedience with, if a family wanted to get their feet wet.

She is prone to heat stroke, as when she was about 3 years old, she had one. She is trained to use stairs to get up on my bed, but still does fine jumping up on the couch and down.

Also, if a home wanted to take both of them, as long as they have no other dogs, I would be completely open to it. Both Shae and Zoe came here together, finding a home that would take both of them together would be amazing.

Happy Birthday to Shae! She is now officially 7 years old.

She's still spry, despite having hip dysplasia. Her favorite things to enjoy include: Running non stop after balls/toys and sleeping in bed with me.

Happy 7th Birthday my darling girl! Here's to 7 more!

Happy Birthday to our Matriarch, Zoe! She is turning the big SEVEN today! Making her officially a "veteran" for United Kennel Club. xD Zoe is mom to both of our litters here at Epic Quest.

She enjoyed the morning sleeping in with me while everyone else enjoyed the weather before it got too hot. Then she got some brushing out and extra treats and scratches. Then she got to go lay back down in bed while I brushed out the others.

Happy Birthday Zoe!

The dogs are having a good day celebrating their birthday! They got three new toys, and everyone got an extra special birthday dinner with a treat, chicken, some pasta, and an egg with their food.

Zendaya and Alex got to "unbox" their presents, but Daya did most of the work, so she got to choose the Best toy.

Today is the day that our Matriarch, Zoe, gave birth to not just one litter, but two litters, two years apart!

Happy Birthday to my babies, Zendaya (WoW Litter) and Alexander (Hamilton Litter) and the rest of their littermates!

The World of Warcraft litter is 3 years old today, and the Hamilton Litter is having their FIRST birthday!

Today she's just relaxing, but we are celebrating her today too. Everyone got some special treats this morning to celebrate!

13/05/2024

In just a few days, we'll be celebrating the birth of not just one litter here at Epic Quest, but two! Zoe blessed us with two litters being the matriarch of Epic Quest, both litters were born on May 16th, one in 2021 and the last in 2023.

If you have a EQ Puppy, post their pictures and an update below! Would love to see them so I can post them on the 16th!

Alex and I went to Courtland VA UKC show this weekend. While I was hoping to earn his last Grand Champion leg, we ended up with 4 reserve CH wins and 2 Champion class wins, but sadly needed to win breed and couldn't quite get there.

We do not have any more shows for the rest of the summer. We are hoping our next show will be Perry GA at the end of August. Alex is going to get the clippy shave down because he has started coat change and we will get him back into shape for the coming fall season.

Here is a picture of Alex and our friend Brian over at Conundrum's Poodles and Scottish Terriers from this weekend. Alex is truly a "never met a stranger" type of dog and loves everyone he meets.

As always, I am forever grateful to my breeder, Kathryn Zimmerman at Rose City Standard Poodles for allowing me to be owned by Zoe and Shae, and allowing me to breed Zoe. Without Kathy's support, I wouldn't be here, and neither would your Epic Quest babies!

Here's to National Purebred Dog Day!

Congratulations to Cadence and Envy, they make quite the agility team!!
