Personalities are really starting to shine through, and they’re LOVING their toys and playtime. All of them did fabulous for their baths and the blow dryer intro this week!

The babies are growing up so fast 🥹
Almost 4 weeks old already and starting to really explore, play, and show their little personalities. They just got their tunnel added to the play yard and are having so much fun and building the confidence to figure it out! 🐾

Congratulations to our friends at Kvali Standard Poodles!

Kitty

Pending UKC, Kitty is officially our very first homebred UKC Ruby Grand Champion ❤️💎

To finish her Ruby with a Best in Show, is just a dream come true!

Watching Kitty earn this title has been so incredibly special, and I can’t thank the judges enough who have recognized what a beautiful representation of the breed she is, in a very nice line up of deserving Poodles we've shown with.

Every moment in the ring with her is a win, and I love sharing time with my poodle bestie.

Seeing “Ruby Grand Champion” attached to a girl we bred and raised ourselves means more than words can say!

So proud of our Kitty girl ✨

Thank you to my friends and those who have pushed me to keep going forward, I love you all!

Cece finally has decided to break her hiatus and come into heat! Fingers crossed for a straight forward cycle and for an easy breeding. She has pivoted to fill more of a companion/service role in my life with the sudden loss of my last dog a year ago, instead of the sport one we had planned but I cannot wait to see how her offspring carry on that devoted workability I adore from her lines. Her intended sire meanwhile has been continuing to collect titles on both ends, and I am sure these babies will be workaholics with amazing noses and solid brains.

3 week photos! The puppies are becoming more and more active every day. Starting to enjoy their toys, jungle gym, and allowing them to explore a little bit outside of their whelping box! They all did great for their first face, feet, and tail shaves too. 🥰 Who’s your favorite this week?
