THE PROCESS

We are located in Perry, Georgia and we are a small breeding program. We have focused more on AKC performance sports and have begun to switch our focus to the show ring. We participate in AKC sports such as FastCat, Lure Coursing (CAT), Dock Diving, Rally, and Barnhunt.

Our Standard Poodles are raised in our home and we provide as much exposure and environmental stimuli as possible. We enjoy leisure activities with our dogs outside of competing and showing. We also own horses and the dogs accompany us at the farm and on trail rides. We also enjoy other outdoor activities like camping, hiking and traveling. We love to have our dogs join us on all of our adventures.

When it comes to our breeding program, all dogs wait until they are 2 years old prior to breeding and all dogs must pass their health testing, OFA testing and acquire their OFA CHIC number. We acquire above OFA CHIC requirements with all of our Standard Poodles.

We have each dog get their hips, elbows, eyes and heart scored via OFA. We do Embark health testing to be sure all dogs are genetically clear. We also get their Thyroid evaluation and Sebaceous Adenitis evaluation approved through OFA. Once testing is complete, we upload everything to OFA.org and post that link for each dog.

Our puppies are raised with Puppy Culture, Avidog Early Neurological Stimulation and Early Scent Introduction. They get hands-on grooming done weekly including brushing, dremeled nails, clipper exposure, trims and being handled for bathing and blow drying.

For our Whelping box, we use traction mats that help develop healthy joints and hips and prevent slipping, sliding and tearing of any ligaments.

We do temperament testing at 7 weeks for each puppy by a professional trainer. We also do structural evaluations at 8 weeks of age. Once testing is done, we notify each family and require a deposit to move forward. Puppies go to their new homes at 10 weeks old, at which the remaining balance is due. We do reserve the right for the first pick of every litter. Puppies will be matched to every family based on their temperament testing results for the most success for both the puppies and their new owners. Every puppy is seen by our local vet for a clean bill of health prior to leaving and for each puppy to receive their first set of age appropriate vaccines and deworming.

Each puppy is started on crate training prior to leaving and are set on a routine to begin proper potty training. Puppies are started in crates as a group and steadily switched to individual time in the crate at night prior to leaving.

Puppies go home microchipped with the Nano Microchip through FI, prepaid AKC limited registration, and other goodies to help each puppy adjust to their new homes.

Each new family will be added to our private group for continued help, guidance, and education. We are always a phone call away to help each of our new families.
