I received my first apricot poodle in 1988, from Marlene Miller of "Kalista Poodle". The girl I bought was not show able but, I bred her and got my very first home breed champion. To date I have 5 champions bred by or carrying my kennel name. "Orangecrest PJ's Upsa Daisy" just received her Championship on 6/18/2009, taking my total to 6!
I test all of my girls and they are all "A"s for PRA and hips are good. I only breed to males that have also been tested. I only breed once a year. All puppies have championship behind them.
I feed my girls a raw diet and puppies will get a raw diet plus I also feed them dry. That way who ever buys a puppy can make up there own mind on what to feed them.
