Another cold fall morning. I was taking a picture of Rose, our matriarch, and Dahlia popped up and photo b*mbed me.

When the white Standard Poodle Ch. Puttencove Promise claimed Best in Show at Westminster in 1958, he was already a well-established star. Born on January 20, 1955, Promise began making waves early—earning his first two BIS wins in 1956 as a yearling. The following year, he added nine more BIS titles to his name, ranking him among the Top Ten all-breed winners of 1957.

By December 1957, Promise had been shown 38 times, securing Best of Variety in 37 of those appearances and 11 all-breed Best in Show wins. He continued his winning streak into 1958, with two more BIS titles—one of them being the prestigious Westminster victory that cemented his place in dog show history.🐾

Merle poodles are banned by AKC/UKC and various European registries. If your dog has 'papers' then your breeder lied about their true color/pattern in order to get that registration.

If your breeder lied to a reputable registry to get a false registration, then what else did they lie about?

I'm seeing people bragging that their merle poodle (doodle really) passed DNA testing but that means nothing. That is also easily faked (who submitted that DNA? Can you prove they submitted the right dog?)

The harsh truth is, merle poodles are NOT PUREBRED.

No matter what your "Oh but....." reasons are, your dog is not a purebred poodle.

Ghost Timber Poodles are 100% tested merle free. No dodgy or fake pedigrees here. Our dogs are exactly what we say they are.

We were out for 8 weeks post-surgical recovery this summer and have more PT in the future plus local events are kind of scarce this fall/winter in our area. Look for more next spring. ;-)
