Poodles

Cocoa is a beautiful little chocolate toy poodle. I really need to get a better picture of her when she has her hair done! 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.

Raven a black toy, and Heart a black miniature, are Gracey's daughters. They both is show a lot of Gracey's and their dad's (Nickels) friendliness and good temperament.

Poodle stud: 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!

Miniature Poodle Stud

Rudy is our miniature Poodle stud.
Rudy is a very loveable little dog, but is very shy, which, like shyness does in people, limits his ability to really show people what he has to offer. We purchased him at 5 months of age from a breeder who didn't give him the socialization he needed in those all important first few months.

Toy Poodle Stud

Poodle Stud Nickels - Nickels is the nuttiest of little dogs for sure! He is a loving happy go lucky little dog who loves to be with me in the yard, in the house, wherever I am!
He is a climber, and can scale any height of chain link fence - thus the need for a roof in any kennel he is in.

We do on occasion have Poodles for sale when we breed to increase our breeding stock.


Maltese

Sasha (or Shasta Daisy, as she is called by sister Ruth) 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.

Maltese

Sasha, is for sale as of May, 2010! She will be 7 years old, and finished with her breeding life here. Sasha loves people - all people. She will adapt quite well to living the life of a pampered little dog in someones home.

Schnauzer

Farley and Sweetie are our two original Miniature Schnauzers. Both are very nice friendly sociable 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!
Emma, and Maggie, are their daughters, both black Miniatures and just excellent personalities. They are now making us some lovely babies!
Jennie is a beautiful grey - salt and pepper blend Miniature Schnauzer. A very loving dog and a great momma to her babies.

Cocker Spaniel

I have one American Cocker stud dog, a beautiful red I called Adam. In the females, I have Bunny and Daisy, two very lovely Black with brown points, who are very soft in their temperament - always coming with a tail wagging, and very gentle dogs. Next I have Lady, a beautiful golden female out of a previous stud dog George. Just a beautiful dog as you can see in her pictures. She should throw the lighter blonds in the cockapoos.

Adam is a ball of energy, he rarely sits still long enough to get a good picture. He has made some beautiful babies for us.

Hard to get a good picture of adam! This was the best of about 10 I took!


Our American Cocker breeding females are sisters Bunny & Daisy and Lady, daughter of our beautifly past stud, George. All three are producing beautiful Cockapoos for us.

Miniature Poodle Cross Puppies
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.

These are the crosses we do:

CockaPoo - Cocker Spaniel X Poodle
Schnoodle - Schnauzer X Poodle
MaltePoo - Maltese X Poodle
ShihPoo - ShihTzu X Poodle
