Kentuckiana Poodles

THIS. ❤️
This is why I love what I do. Watching a puppy I produced grow into something this beautiful is rewarding enough, but knowing she’s equally loved, appreciated and believed in makes it even better.

Briar Rose, you are turning into one hell of a girl. 🔥 So much thought and intention behind what’s coming next, and I couldn’t be more excited for the future of Kentuckiana Poodles & Windy Creek Doodles.

We’re only getting started. ❤️

This one means a little extra.❤️
There are years and generations of work behind this boy from BOTH programs, and seeing it all come together in Empire is pretty incredible.

Pinewood Poodles has poured so much time, thought, heart and intention into building her program and preserving the generations behind her dogs, and I’m incredibly proud that generations of Kentuckiana could come together with generations of Pinewood to help create something we’re both so excited about. These dogs don’t happen overnight. They’re the result of years of planning, learning, heartbreak, accomplishments and constantly trying to make the next generation better than the last. Empire represents pieces of so many dogs that have meant the world to both of us.

I’m so proud of what we could have contributed to this boy, but equally excited to see Julia’s vision come to life and where she takes him from here. This is what working together and appreciating what each program brings to the table is all about. ❤️

And Julia, thank you for trusting me with so much and for helping make this opportunity a reality. But most of all, thank you for simply being YOU. For the countless sleepless nights staying up with me talking dogs, genetics, medications, breeding plans, life, kids and everything in between. 😂 Thank you for the knowledge we’ve shared, the ideas we’ve bounced off each other, and most importantly, the wonderful friendship we’ve built along the way.❤️

Happy National Dog day to all the most perfect four legged angels out there! Only going to post one photo because out of 20,000 photos of dogs I can’t pick a favorite so here’s a little happy from today ft. Takoda, Axle, and Zeke! 🥴😅

Put perfection in your own words, it’s her for me 🤩

Our sweet Mocha🤎
Looking at her laying here, I just keep thinking about how incredibly blessed I am that she is still with us. What happened happened so fast, and it’s scary knowing how differently this could have ended.
She’s sore, tired, and she definitely has some healing to do, but she’s HERE. That’s all I could ask for.
One day at a time, Mocha girl. We love you more than you’ll ever know. ♾️

Look at these unhealthy dogs in their filthy pens 😂 IYKYK
But on a serious note let’s have a discussion that’s not drama related.
Parasites:
Worms
Coccidia
Giardia

Quick Google search “How do dogs get parasites?”
Dogs get parasites by swallowing microscopic eggs or larvae from contaminated soil or f***s, contracting them from their mother before birth or through milk, eating infected fleas or wildlife, or through insect bites and skin pe*******on.

Read that again MICROSCOPIC.

You know what dogs do? They put EVERYTHING in their mouths. Sticks, rocks, bugs, dead animals, EVERYTHING.
Some and yes this is gross but needs to be said eat each others P**P!

Unless you are doing a monthly heartworm (I don’t really love those because chemicals every month isn’t my cup of tea)
OR doing fecals once a month honestly your dog probably has parasites and you don’t even know it. Again back to the MICROSCOPIC.

Friends, dogs are ANIMALS. And I’m really really tired of the taboo around talking about parasites. It HAPPENS, almost every puppy that goes to the vet is GOING TO COME BACK WITH SOMETHING.

It’s not anything anyone has done wrong, it’s not a big huge deal, it’s not even all that concerning.

It’s a part of owning an animal. I had some high horse breeders on here earlier saying they have never had any pups with parasites. Dude that’s a plain out lie, I mean it really really is.

Transparency is my thing, I have nothing to hide, I’m not ashamed because I shouldn’t be.

My dogs are happy, my dogs run around our acreage and eat whatever the hell they find.

More breeders need to be transparent so the general public understands this is okay, it’s part of dog ownership.
And that quite frankly dogs are GROSS 😆😆

Well, today definitely didn’t go as planned, Mocha gave us one hell of a scare this morning. She went outside to potty like normal, came back in, and I immediately knew something wasn’t right. She wouldn’t sit down, her entire body was stiff, and she was excessively drooling. I touched her stomach and it was rock hard. She screamed and peed all over herself. At that point, I knew we didn’t have time to wait around and see what happened. And of course, on a Sunday.. 🫠

Thankfully, my vet is absolutely amazing and came immediately. Mocha had bloated and needed emergency surgery. The craziest part is Mocha has already had a gastropexy, her stomach was already tacked. It’s a good reminder that a gastropexy can reduce the risk of the stomach twisting, but it doesn’t mean a dog can never bloat.

Bloat/GDV is one of those things where minutes matter. It can progress incredibly fast, and once blood flow is compromised, you’re working against the clock. Know your dogs and know what’s normal for them. I knew the second I looked at Mocha that something wasn’t right, and I’m so thankful I trusted my gut.
Today could have ended very differently. I’m just incredibly thankful that it didn’t. ❤️

There’s just something about this one. I’ve watched so many puppies grow, but every once in a while there’s one that pulls at you a little differently. She’s definitely one of those girls.
