This website is dedicated to the
Standard Poodles that have enriched my life. It
is also dedicated to the collaborative spirit of
the Poodle community that I rely on for
friendship, wisdom and advice.
My first Standard Poodle was purchased in 1997.
This Poodle, Freddy, became an AKC Champion in
2002 after a few short months of limited
showing, capably handled by Kathi Johnson of
Marquis Poodles. I learned the art of show coat
maintenance from Kathi and she became my mentor
in all things Poodle related. I soon put a
freelance design career on hold to immerse
myself in the business of creative pet styling.
This journey has evolved into a breeding program
dedicated to upholding the AKC Poodle Breed
Standard set forth by The Poodle Club of
America.
Possessing both beauty and brains, Standard
Poodles often excel as retrievers and are loyal
companions. A Poodle’s personality can be quite
clown-like and exuberant and yet one would be
hard pressed to find a dog more willing to
please. These personality traits make a Standard
Poodle a great choice for Obedience and Agility
work as well as faithful companionship. I breed
discriminately for stable temperament, health,
beauty, brains and structure. Structure is the
framework and foundation of a dog. Good
structure enables a Poodle to effortlessly cover
ground with proud head carriage and an upright
tail. It is my goal to combine the elements of
temperament, beauty, brains and structure along
with a history of good health into my breeding
program. The first generation of my endeavor is
on the ground. Browse my website for a peek into
the future of Adagio Standard Poodles
