Type, Quality and Temperament

We KNOW about Miniature Poodles . . . .  have bred, judged  at the highest levels around the world and exhibited them with huge success for over forty years.

We LOVE the breed . . . . they live in the house, are part of the family and have character and personality.  We live, breathe and sleep Poodles.

We are one of the Top Breeders in the U.K.  . . . . but we don’t keep large numbers, certainly no more than six and more usually only four or five.  Our successes in the show ring are world famous, but our dogs are not just Prize Winners. Our breeding lines have been selected and tested for good health and excellent temperament over four decades.  We were one of the first Poodle breeders in the U.K. to embrace the OptiGen DNA test.  Since 2001 all breeding stock have been tested and we have been diligent in our use of the new technology to help eradicate this problem from the breed  while keeping the essence and type of our line alive and successful.

Puppies for show and companions sometimes available

Retired show/breeding dogs and bitches, usually around 3 years of age are occasionally available to loving, permanent and approved homes.  Homes will be vetted.

No one can make 100% guarantees about the future, but you can rest assured that we have done our utmost to ensure you will have many years of problem free, happy companionship.  If things do go wrong we offer a lifetimes back-up, indeed we will always take any dog back in the event that you are ever unable to take care of the dog for whatever reason.

2008 - New Kids on the Block . . . .

Known as breeders of Black Miniatures, we have recently bred our first Brown for many years - ‘Biarritz’ - who made her show debut early in 2008.  Our last brown ‘Mahogany’ is behind the breed’s Bitch CC Record Holder Ch. Suraliam Putting On The Ritz.  We have been thrilled with ’Bea’ s successes with her new owner Ann Saunders. (See Latest News)

Hannah’s only puppy ‘Just The One’ is already showing huge personality and quality at just 3 months, we look forward to taking her out at the final shows of the year.

2007 Review  Following a meteoric rise to fame as a Minor Puppy in 2006 Hannah (Sixth Sense) won her first CC in February at 13 months and had gained her Champion title by May.  By September she had 5 CC’s, 2 BOBs and 6 RCC’s to her credit.   She is still very much a baby having been forced to move up into the Open class but continues to be successful, taking second in Open and the Reserve CC at Bournemouth, winning her first Open class with another CC at Welsh KC and a further RCC at South Western PC in November (beaten for the CC by her playmate Revelation!)

Our other bitch Becci (Revelation) has been little shown but had several class wins as a puppy, was Best Puppy at PC Scotland and has won both Junior classes she has contested to date.  She was brought back into the ring at SWPC to win CC, BOB and RBIS at 16 months, took her 2nd CC at Midland Cos PC in February  and gained her title in April at 21 months at WELKS, with a 4th CC won at SKC.
