Interested in joining our reservation list?
Please note: We are an intimately sized breeding program; we prioritize the welfare and quality-of-life of our parent dogs. Abby, our Standard Poodle dam, resides with our family in WI and is the self-proclaimed queen of our home. We gladly grant her that crown. The stud for this litter, Griffin, resides in Fargo, ND where he is lovingly spoiled by his world-class Standard Poodle groomer and show-sport-hobbyist mama, Sara.
The Pairing
This litter has been a sparkle in my eye for the last 2 yrs. We were able to vet Griffin, a UKC Champion, in person in Fargo, ND in 2020. Instantly both ABBY and I fell in LOVE. You should have seen her strut her little tush around! He has such a presence to him and a wonderfully calm demeanor. Prior to our trip across the Midwest, I explained the premise of a "daddy dog" to our kids and my son confused this to mean Griffin would be coming home with us and be "Daddy's dog". When we pulled away, he couldn't believe we were leaving big, sweet Griffin behind, the poor little guy left our visit in tears. We still talk about him in that manner to this day 😅.

Litter Timeline & Insight
Griffin is an impressive 7 yrs old, it's clear his health testing stands behind his proven longevity of good health. Abby and Griffin have no known history of bloat or compulsive ingesting behaviors (YAY! I highly recommend looking into this even if you do go in another direction). Both CHIC Certified, their phenomenal temperaments are doubled down with complimentary Standard Poodle conformations. Of note, Griffin has a great front end which can be hard to come by. His build is substantial and square. Abby's facial structure, ear setting, tail setting and topline look to be right out of the Standards guideline. Both have a springy step and beautiful necks. Offspring in this litter should be excellent companions for most family or individual dynamics, therapy, sports dogs, and/or hobby/performance dogs. We will reserve a keeper spot from this litter that we deem to be some of the most pertinent and desirable characteristics of a dog for our client populations.

We send our puppies home with AKC Limited Registration, their 7 wk Vaccinations, a free 30 Day Insurance policy through Trupanion, and identification Microchip.
Throughout their time with us they are raising with a curriculum (ENS, ESI, Temperament Evaluations, Behavioral Training) that sets them on the right path to be an intuitive, mentally sound, adaptable adult dog. Our puppies leave understanding what a crate is and are started on potty training.
We begin grooming Kettle Cove poodles puppies at the age of 3 weeks to create a positive association with them and the bathing/blowdrying, grooming/trimming process. Additionally, we offer longterm grooming services to our local KCSP owners!
