Standard Poodle Puppy Testimonial: Yzzie

Hi Jacki ..

Just thought I’d send a note and tell you how wonderful my little fairy princess is .. she’s just a tad over 19″ at the shoulder and 33 pounds at almost 11 months. Her vet called her perfect and she is.

She’s just graduating her first obedience class – at the top – and is heading into agility classes next. She’s smart and wants to please. Most importantly, though, she is the sweetest little girl you would ever hope to meet. She loves to sit with you, whether at home, at work or at Starbucks (one of her favorite places!). She cuddles with you on the couch, sits in your lap and loves to be held. She’s quite the little charmer and has family and friends eating out of her paws. And she loves dogs as much as she loves people.

She’s quite the little athlete, too. I see her competing in agility and especially in jumpers.

She still puppy-silly, and has the hairdo to go with it. She’ll get her first “adult” look in a few months, but for now she’s floppy and funny and my only worry with her is that someone will steal her. I’ve had a number of people as for her breeder and lots more just ask if I want to sell her.

Here’s a picture of her and her silly do ..

Many thanks,
Laura Rooney

Happy Home Testimonial: Wilson

Wilson art 2Wilson is a wonderful guy.  He never marks or potties in the house, doesn’t chew or dig…he’s just always well behaved.  When I leave him home alone, he just sits on the sofa and looks out the front window until I get home.

Strangers always stop and tell me what a beautiful dog he is.  He’s more than I ever hoped for.  And he seems very happy too!

Valri’ and Mimi are Top at UKC

Admiration Charmed I’m Sure (Valri’) obtained her UKC Grand Championship status and is now holding steady at #2 UKC Standard Poodle in the world. Her sister, Admiration Come Fly with Me (Mimi) just took Breed (Best Standard Poodle) in a recent UKC dog show over 11 other females.

The United Kennel Club (UKC) classifies the Standard Poodle in their Gun Dog group. Showing a Poodle at UKC shows differs from showing a Poodle in AKC shows in that Poodles don’t have to have the “fancy hair cut”, known as a Continental, and one cannot be a professional Handler. UKC recognizes many unusual breeds that are not recognized by the AKC. Shows are lots of fun and is a good family activity to get involved in.

Congratulations Valri’ and Mimi!

Valri’s First Championship

We’re so thrilled! Lovely Valri got her first title as Show Champion with the United Kennel Club. Here’s the wonderful email her mommy had sent to us along with her certificate. Mimi’s next…

“Hi.  The first of the girls’ official UKC Championship certificates arrived
in the mail today.  It is attached.  Mimi’s won’t be far behind.  She
finished her Championship with 300 points (!) at the shows in Manassas, VA.
As I think I told you, Valri’ already has 4 of the 5 requisite Champion wins
towards her Grand Championship.  She’s actually won Champion of Champions 6 shows in a row, but 2 of them were 1 Champion short for points.  We’re doing a cluster of UKC shows in April and/or May.  That should seal the deal for Valri’s Grand C’ship and Mimi is bound to leap forward as a Champion, too.

“We have 2 AKC shows this week-Thursday 3/19 and Friday 3/20 in Edison, NJ at the Raritan Center.  Historically, the entries haven’t been very high at
these shows but this year they are both majors.  There are 15 open bitches
and 2 Special bitches entered each day.  In NJ, it only takes 11 bitches for
a 3 point major.  Both of these girls are in heat.  It is the 3rd time for
each of them-they are overachievers.  At least it will be out of the way in
time for PCA.

“Hope things are good at Admiration Ranch!
Love, Lucy”
