In any litter of puppies there are generally two populations of dogs. Puppies that will be suitable for the show ring will have certain characteristics such as pretty faces and uniform conformation. Skilled breeders will be able to identify potential show dogs by these characteristics at about 8–16 weeks of age. Pet quality puppies are from the same champion lineage; however, they may have characteristics that will make it difficult for them to be successful in the show ring. Features that may disqualify puppies from the show ring do not affect their ability to work for hunt, therapy and other titles other than conformation.
All puppies are sold with limited registration*. The poodle pups are competively priced, especially given their champion lineage. All pups will have a clean bill of health and their vaccinations before delivery.
A litter of 4 pups from Carrie was born on November 3, 2010 (1 white female, 1 silver female, 2 silver males).
* Chapter 3 Section A of the AKC’s Rules Applying to Registration and Discipline states the following: “Limited registration may be requested for a dog when application of individual registration of the dog is submitted, provided the application, together with a request for such limitation, is filed by the owner(s) of the litter at birth.
No offspring of a dog for which Limited Registration has been granted is eligible for registration. Each registration certificate for such dog shall carry notice of the limitation and the limitation shall continue regardless of any change of ownership unless and until the owner(s) of the litter at birth shall apply to AKC for removal of the limitation.”
