Poodles
We have perhaps one of the best tempermented purebred Miniature Poodles in our little 'Gracey'. She is one of our house dogs and is an absolute joy, though with her pure black coat, it's easy to trip over her in the dark! I've often thought of giving her a bright streak.

Holly is a purebred white Miniature Poodle, and is cute as can be. Gracey did not go through ANY unhappiness when we brought Holly home. The two get along famously! What did I say about that great temperament? ![]() Holly, my Min. Poodle love, December 14, 2005
Cocoa is a beautiful little chocolate toy poodle. She is a delicate young lady with an affectionate personality. Very friendly and sociable, she climbed her way into my heart right from day 1.
![]() Cocoa, my friendly little Chocolate Toy Poodle. Raven and Heart, are Black Miniatures, and are Gracey's daughters. They both is show a lot of Gracey's and their dad's (Nickels) friendliness and good temperament. Their breeding life will start in 2009, as Gracey's draws to a close.
My poodle studs are: Nickel, - he's a slight of build Apricot Miniature Poodle and is used as stud service for some of our females.
![]() Nickels, our toy Poodle stud, April 2007 Nickels is a real sweetheart of a dog. He's extremely affectionate and gets along with all the other dogs. He makes a lot of beautiful puppies!
And Poodle stud number 2: In December of 2006, we purchased Rudy - a purebred darker Apricot Miniature Poodle. Rudy has proven to be an excellent stud and has produced some fantastic puppies!

Maltese
Sasha is our Maltese momma. She is one of those worldy looking dogs - she looks very serious and wise. She is a great little mother and a friendly little dog - she loves to go for car rides.
Schnauzer
Farley and Sweetie are our Miniature Schnauzers. Both are very nice little dogs. Farley is black with a bit of white on his chest, and is extremely sociable and loving. He has produced some exceptional Schnoodles for us! Sweetie is a beautiful energetic female, who has become an amazingly loveable little dog. She spends a lot of time in the house with me at my feet, gazing up at me with those kind eyes for more pats please! Sweetie has been the mother of some extremely beautiful little puppies!
Cocker Spaniel
Then we have George our American Cocker Spaniel Stud. I've left the picture below of when he was 9 and a half weeks of pure soft puppy joy. Very gentle temperament and extremely smart - he came when called by name after only 2 days. George didn't have to be told twice that he was a stud dog. He is now well experienced at his job, and remains a really loveable dog.
These pictures were taken at playtime in the yard, in July, 2005.

Due to it's low-shedding quality and intelligence the Poodle has been used as the base of "hybrid" breeding stock for decades. Hybrids are the offspring of two recognized purebred dogs of different breeds. Unlike a mutt or mongrel, a hybrids lineage can be easily traced and it's characteristics and appearance are much more predictable.
Producing HYBRIDS in the agricultural and animal husbandry industries has been done for decades because of their high yields, genetic disease resistance and generally more robust individuals. In dogs, this Hybrid VIGOR (Heterosis) also carries through. When hybridizing with stable and well-tempered purebreds, litters are produced with all the above qualities and typically, a more mellow temperament. Genetic defects that may be common to some purebreds are not commonly seen in the HYBRID dogs (possible yes, but not common). For example, eye and epilepsy conditions are rarely seen in Cock-A-Poos; skin allergy conditions are rarely seen in Westie-Poos; and hip dysplasia conditions are rarely seen in the large-breed HYBRIDS. Since defects in different purebreds ARE different, they tend to neutralize negative things and compensate each other in the hybrid. In general, F1 crosses or the offspring of two purebred dogs of different breed are the most desirable. Multi-generational crossings are thought to dilute the hybrid vigor that was desired in the first place. For example, a puppy from a purebred Cocker Spaniel Dam and a purebred Poodle Sire is an F1 Cross known as a "CockaPoo". Mating a Cockapoo with another Cockapoo would result in multi-generational offspring. While the CockaPoo is the most popular and well known Poo Cross, others have been developed for very specific reasons. The Labradoodle (Labrador Retriever X Standard Poodle) and the Goldie Poo (Golden Retriever X Standard Poodle) were initially developed in Austrailia to produce a guide dog or seeing-eye dog with the keen and placid temperment of the Golden/Lab but with the Poodles lower propensity for shedding. The outcome of this experiment has been so successful that the demand for this hybrid has grown in leaps and bounds in North America. We strongly recommend that you spay or neuter your puppy by 6 months of age as this will help with the marking of territories and the females coming into heat. We do not recommend breeding any F1 crosses. WE DO NOT CROSS BREED OUR HERDING DOGS. OUR GUARDIANS ARE CROSS BRED - AKBASH/MAREMMA TO PRODUCE WHAT WE FEEL IS A BETTER GUARDIAN DOG.
