My love for
poodles started at birth when my mother bought a poodle. It was a white miniature named GIGI from the
Champion Bloodline Blanche Chartier.
She lived 15 years.
Our second
poodle a blue miniature named
GUCCHI. He was from the Champion
Bloodline Tippiton. He lived to the
respectable age of 18.
When I
moved out from my parents, I acquired an apricot poodle named Casey from the
bloodline De La Bayonne.
Then a
friend, Mrs. Andrée Éthier, poodle breeder for 30 years (Ace Passion
Bloodline) introduced me to Mrs. Dawn Cullen breeder of the Champion bloodline
Bonvivant perm’reg. Mrs. Cullen
encouraged me to breed Casey since she was a beautiful dog but just missing
that little something for show. The
first breeding with Casey was with Mrs. Cullen’s dog Bonvivant Red
Rooster. Casey produced 4 gorgeous red
puppies. That got me hooked and I
started showing.
I’ve been
raising Poodles for over 15 years now.
I’m occasionally on the show circuit when I have a prospect to
show.
My husband
is also a canine lover. He prefers big
dogs but has grown very fond of our little ones.
