About Devin
URO1 UGRCH Apricity's Rhythmical Creation CGC TKI FTI SPOT-ON Moderate energy, moderate working drive, moderate prey drive. Some food and toy motivation. Praise motivated. Our first bred-by UKC GRCH! She earned her GRCH title quickly in the Winter/Spring of 2024 with multiple CH class wins, 4 Best of Breed wins and a Gun Dog Group 2. In the Summer of 2024, she qualified for her Fetch Novice and Intermediate titles in 1 day. Devin picked up her URO1 Rally title in 1 weekend with scores of 98, 100, and 100 at the UKC Eastern Classic in the Fall of 2024. Outside of the ring, she is an easy girl to live with. Well-behaved in all situations on and off lead, non-destructive, strives to please, and generally people and dog neutral. Poodles are historically water retrievers. She has also shown her ability and willingness to complete retrieves in the local Susquehanna River. We are currently expecting her first litter! Devin is a black brindle point phantom parti/tuxedo with some creeping tan carrying for brown.

Dear Christina, Once again, many thanks for all you did to make dealing with you such a great experience. I am thrilled with my new puppy, whom I have named Nico. His temperment is great and he is super smart. His training is coming along well, as is socialization. He is attending puppy socialization classes once a week. Many people have already asked me where I got him from, and I have been happy to tell them about you. I shall keep you informed of Nico’s progress. Once again, thanks a million!!! Jim Green

Our little guy is the sweetest and great with the kiddos. We got him at 16 weeks which I found nice since he was quick to potty train and already knows basic commands. Thank you for everything and breeding an amazing pup!

Christina was so helpful in suggesting which pup would work well with my lifestyle, and more importantly what kind of human she would want for her pups! She was patient with all of my questions and had a real understanding of what kind of home her pups need for them to thrive. I feel so lucky to have found her on good dog and Hope is adjusting so well. My trip home with Hope was four hours and she was a champ- was asleep nearly the whole ride. As soon as she met the cats I could tell she wanted to play with them but she was super patient and didn’t chase 🥹. The cats are still observing her from afar, but I know they’ll be best friends soon enough 🤞🏽🤞🏽. Thank you, Christina!
