Future Hunting Standard Poodle Puppies For Sale |
|
When we first published our web site over 7 years ago we never planned to do any breeding until l realized after purchasing Callie, who will turn five 7/10/11, that Helen and I might enjoy raising and selling an occasional litter. What really changed my mind was the success I've had hunting Beau, Scout, and Callie in North and South Dakota as well as entering them in Hunt Test in several states. My goal is not to make a profit by becoming a breeder. That will never happen given the costs of health tests done prior to breeding (see Health Testing at VIP) and the thousands of dollars we've spent on Hunt Test entry fees earning hunt titles (both AKC and UKC) to say nothing about travel expenses, motels, food, etc. Our goal is to produce well bred poodles with both parents Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) certified numbers available to verify health tests at <offa.org>. Callie's CHIC # is 57439. You can verify health tests results for hips, eyes, SA, and Thyroid simply by typing in her CHIC number in the search box.
Callie and Beau had a litter of 7 pups, 4 female, 3 males, 10/10/09. It was Callie's first litter. All were spoken for with 10 deposits accepted prior to her whelping. Three deposits were returned. Three of the pups are in WI, two in MN, one in AL, and one in CA. All are doing great as companions and all except one are being trained for hunting, some by professionals. One male is going to be a therapy dog. Callie's second and last litter will be whelped end of July 2011. This time Beau will not be the sire. He's getting up in years, which may be pushing the envelope a bit too far. I have a really nice fully health tested male in mind (Woodie) that has proven himself in the field. He has hunt test titles, agility titles, and is also a conformation champion--(CH). Visit www.oakwind.org reference his pedigree, pictures, Utube videos, titles and OFA health test results. Callie's dam is brown. She is black. This breeding should produce black with possibility of brown. The COI (coefficient of inbreeding) is 10-generation 2.31%, 12-generation 3.56%. This match will produce high quality performance poodles with great temperament, health, conformation and with training a find hunter. That's only if the latter is one of many things the owner may choose to pursue with this very versatile breed. However, I don't require being a hunter in order to purchase a pup. All the pups will be well socialized, have dew claws removed, tails docked, be wormed, have first vaccinations, and be groomed prior to pickup, I also do neuro stimulation between days 3 and 16, expose them to various outside environments, swimming water and live birds starting at 6 weeks of age. If finding a standard poodle for field work (hunting) is your main priority look for (1) both sire and dam are proven hunters/retrievers on both land and water (2) posses hunt test titles or other performance titles. Both (1) and (2) will also provide a great pet companion. However, your first priority before deciding to purchase a poodle should always be as a companion, hunting depends a great deal on dedicated training. My goal is to breed Std. Poodles that will hunt. But our first priority is for good health, temperament, and sound structure. Normally breeders do not ask for deposits prior to having pups on the ground. I'm an exception. With that in mind let me know if you're interested enough to make a $300 deposit returnable for any reason prior to the pups being born. Once they are on the ground deposits are no longer refundable. The price will be $1500. Pups will be sold on a temporary limited registration basis until it is spayed/neuter OR after the age of two it is health tested OFA for hips, CERF for eyes, and Skin tested for Sabaceous Adenitis with test results posted on the OFA web site. Once one or the other is done papers will be signed back to full registration OR the dog is held in co-ownership by the breeder. I'll be glad to furnish references prior to making a deposit. Contact me by e-mail found on the contact page or our phone number on home page. |
