Q. & A. with Geneva
Why did you start breeding?
It is amazing how much breeders can affect puppies and set them up for success before they go home. They can build confident dogs who love to be with their owners by carefully raising the puppies, and I just love it. Furthermore, there are not enough breeders working to preserve brown in standard poodles, and I want to ensure our breed doesn't loose the color.What makes your program special?
Avidog, ENS, ESI, puppy culture are a few of the foundational techniques that will be used. Puppies will be litterbox trained, clicker trained. If you are looking for an SDIT, we can do ESI with any scent-based tasks needed to predispose the puppies to the task. The goal is well rounded dogs who can be excellent pets and excellent sport and show dogs if the owner wants it.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, blue, brown, cafe au lait, silver, and silver-beige. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Ripley, mom
Poodle
About Ripley
Ripley is our foundation bitch. Brought in from Crystal Creek Poodles, she is a dream dog. Ripley has an amazing temperament and great drive. She has an incredibly goofy personality and is 100% the brown clown. Ripley is handler focused. She is neutral to friendly to strange people and is friendly to people she knows. She is dog friendly. Ripley is an amazing sport dog. She has very high prey drive and high toy drive. I have been able to use toys as a reward in training as equally as treats. Ripley is cruising along in her sport dog career. She is spending 2023 working on her RACH, prepping to start trialing in agility, and a variety of lure sports and canine powered sports. Ripley is excelling in her Service Dog training. She is task trained, and her public access skills are excellent. She is solid and steady at my side. Ripley is in the process of being corded. This can take 8 to 18 months to be show ready, and we hope to enter the AKC ring when it is. She will continue to work on her UKC conformation titles while in the process. Ripley is a multiple group placing dog in UKC
