Misfire Kennel
Meet the breeder
I'm Isabel M., the breeder behind Misfire Kennel located in Prosser, WA. Misfire Kennel was founded on the principle of owning practical hunting and performance dogs. We wanted our dogs to have the drive and instinct required in the fields well as thrive in a home environment.
Q. & A. with Isabel
Why did you start breeding?
Finding a breeder for the dog I wanted proved near impossible, so I spent years learning what I wanted and didn't want in a dog. Luckily it allowed me to connect and grow an understanding for the breeds I love, by showing in conformation and handling them in the field. The next step was to begin to develop my own line of dogs with the desired traits I adored.What makes your program special?
Sound dogs of mind and body, with the intelligence and bidability for success at whatever is asked of them.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Parent dogs
Savvy, mom
Poodle
About Savvy
Savvy is joyful and independent young lady who is quickly growing up to be a retrieving queen. We were so blessed to be allowed to take our pick on a litter of driven, birdy puppies, choosing this girl as a important cornerstone of our poodle program. She did amazing her first season in the upland at only 7 months of age! She is a natural retriever, with a fierce independent streak, but still highly handler oriented. She loves the water and birds.
Gus, dad
Poodle
About Gus
Gus is a very handler oriented, driven dog, who loves to work. He had a late start in the field but will tear ground up with the best of them. He is a clown at home and enjoys a snuggle from anyone. He is a very sensitive dog and can easily be overwhelmed in training if the handler let's their emotions get involved. He is a classic aloof poodle while still being engaged and friendly. He works well in a group or alone, he has a good nose and stays on task consistently.
Parent health testing
Excellent level
Misfire Kennel reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Standard Poodles.

A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
