On this site you will meet four main characters - Gary, Beau, Scout, and Callie.   

We are tied together by our love of being somewhere out in the fields either training or hunting. 

Before continuing there's a short history lesson on the page--Predecessors --about how Poodles have become almost an obsession for the Scovel family . 

It's still hard for me to believe I went from our first three poodles, Nikki, Loki, and Nero, none of whom I seriously considered using as a hunting dog until my last lab Ole died.   That's when I decided to give Nero a shot. 

He did well enough starting at five years old to convince me he would replace labs as my first choice to hunt over.   I now own three and am hooked on training for UKC and AKC advanced level hunt testing with our poodles.  See for yourself as you look further about how well they have done.  

Their success has convinced me to do an occasional breeding using only a sire and dam health tested for hips, eyes, thyroid, and SA.  And with a proven back ground of hunting/retrieving ability backed by pictures and hunt test titles.
