I don't know about breeding poodles but I do know that developing an "eye" for what you do is important to be "good" at anything. I guess ribbons and titles are the concrete symbols.

Gracefrog,

In one of your other posts where you asked about how to register him with the AKC you said you had bred Jinx, the male spoo you currently own, and that the bitch was expecting puppies in the near future. If you are looking for a puppy, is there a reason you would not consider one of Jinx's puppies?

Sorry I've been gone so long! The holidays have kept me super busy! Thanks for all the input! Dana's website was kinda freaky lol! So def think ill pass on her! Yes, we did breed Jinx. I was just keeping an eye out in case it didn't take because Im getting Jinx fixed next month. Don't want to put it off because when I put things off it tends to back fire on me somehow! But, she is showing the symptoms, but the vet said he won't be able to tell for sure until close to the end of January. So, if she is preggo, yes, I will be keeping a baby! if not, Im looking at 2 breeders in east and south Texas with parti's

I wouldn't base an opinion entirely on a website, but there are what I would consider some very funny-looking dogs on there. If you look at the 'dogs' page and scroll down to 'Rags 2 Riches', I would say this is either a combination of an unfortunate photograph and very unflattering clip, or a dog with very peculiar structure. The muzzle is snipey and doesn't have a proper chin, the tail and head carriage are both wrong, the back is too long, and her front/hind legs are not in proportion, with the back legs being too long. I suppose the coat looks quite nice and the colour is pretty, but I'd consider the structural things more important. There may or may not be more health testing results (these I would consider to be the most important of all) but you would have to get in touch with the breeder to find out. Most of the dogs on the page look to have strange legs (feet turning out and odd angles at the joints) and cat backs probably resulting from this.

Good luck with the pregnancy and fingers crossed there's a puppy for you. :-)

I can't add anything else about this breeder or her dogs seeing as I don't know them...but I'll add to the not judging a breeder by their website...I've seen some pretty terrible ones and those are PCA board members >.> not to mention the amazing breeders that do not have websites like Dassin. Some people just aren't tech savvy or they feel they do not need a website/to keep said website updated.

I will add that if I were in the market for a dog of a specific colour I'd go to a breeder that knows what they're doing, someone that has been involved with the breed for some time and they have proven themselves in some capacity. Consider shipping there are some great red and apricot breeders in this country (well...literally the best and first to do something with their line, thats unquestioning :] )

Check out the Apricot and Red Poodle Club and email the breeder referral, they'll DEFINITELY have someone with puppies (actually I know Terry Farley has a litter of puppies right now and a few looking for a good home, he breeds under Farleys D)
