Quality Miniature Poodles, specializing in Kleinpudel/Moyens
|
Our specialty are over-size miniatures/small
standards, equal to the German Kleinpudel (also
referred to as Moyens). We have found them to be
the ideal family companions, smaller than a full
size standard, but large enough to "handle"
children. Consistent good drive, willing to please
and stable in temperament.
KARBIT POODLES
My poodles are primarily family companions, with sound
structure and people-orientated temperaments. Some of our
puppies have gone on to be successful in various
performance events, proving that you can have both - beauty
& brains. I also groom & handle my own poodles, showing in
the AKC & UKC conformation rings on a limited basis. Health
and soundness are my priority, all breeding stock is fully
health tested and extensive background research goes into
every planned breeding.
Puppies are raised in the home, with exposure to children,
early neurological stimulation exercises and daily handling.
Our yard features varied terrain, including a creek with
wooden bridges to cross. The puppies also have access to
agility equipment and love to play hide & seek in some
hollow logs. Their socialization program includes short
trips in the area for ample opportunity of meeting new
people and other pets.
All our puppies are left with natural tails and
dew-claws. I only raise a couple of litters annually,
reservations are recommended.

I first started with Great Danes, also lived on a large farm and raised purebred Arabian Horses. After my beloved
Dinah passed away - at the tender age of 6 1/2, I was looking for something more. Something that had similar
qualities to my Arabians. I wanted intelligence, health, versatility, people-orientated temperaments, soundness and
longevity. A friend recommended a Standard Poodle. I thought she was crazy, but decided to keep an open mind and
do a little research. Everything seemed to fit exactly what I was looking for, so I began my search for a Standard
Poodle puppy. As luck would have it, there was a litter advertised in the local paper and I went to see those puppies.
I was absolutely taken with the sire, Raven. A gorgeous, masculine black male, great substance, regal appearance
and wonderful temperament. I just had to have one of his puppies. That's how Windy - IntVetCh Friendships MKM
Ladywind Too - came into my life. Windy stole my heart, she was my constant companion, whether I was out
shoeing horses, riding in the Oregon Coast Range or traveling. She easily adapted to any given situation and took
everything in stride. Then the real work began. As with my horses, I dove into pedigree research, looking at lots of
litters and other poodles, learning about health issues, temperaments and structures. When I began looking for a
suitable mate for Windy, it was hard to find anything not too closely related in my area, and as a novice, I didn't feel
comfortable with line-breeding. So during a visit to my family in Germany, Mickey - IntCh Flash Of Lightning
Macintosh - was added to the family and my Standard Poodle breeding program began.

A couple of years ago, after having moved off the farm and finding
myself in smaller living quarters, I became intrigued with the
miniature variety. It was love at first sight with my first co-owned
Miniature Poodle - IntCh Orista Claire. She had the temperament
and demeanor of a standard, people-orientated and friendly,
elegant and charming. I look for the same qualities as in my
standards, as miniatures really should be just like them, in a
smaller package. My Miniature Poodles today are almost all of
German ancestry, consistently following the ideals for family
companions, attractive, with nice structure and substance.
