Upcoming Litters
Is Your New Pup About to be Born?
The best way to start the process of getting a puppy is by filling out a puppy application, it helps us understand your needs so we can align you with the perfect puppy for you.
Below are our upcoming litters and their approximate timeframes.
Daphne & Marshall’s Litter
Expected due date will be September, 2025
We are currently taking deposits!
“When I needed a hand, I found your paw.”
Tamarack’s Daphne
Silver Standard Poodle
21″ at the shoulder, approximately 45 lbs.
Doe Valley’s Marshall
Blue Moyen Poodle
18″ at the shoulder, 23 lbs.
Size & Color
We’re eagerly anticipating black puppies, silver and blue poodle puppies. We expect these puppies to range from 25-40 lbs. about 18-21 inches at the shoulder. They are the perfect size dog, not so little they are delicate, but not so big that they require other accommodations. The perfect size for therapy, service, and to wrestle with kids.
Temperament & Personality
These pups will be confident and calm, like their parents. Temperament is surprisingly genetic and these parents are passing on the best genes for the job. They will be low in reactivity and emotionally stable. Of course all puppies have their own personalities, but that’s why we do temperament testing.
Activity & Lifestyle
These pups will thrive in homes where they are involved in the day-to-day activities of the family, whether that’s therapy work, service work, or as the perfect, make-your-friends-jealous companions. They will do well with kids, but will also thrive in a home where the family is gone to work during the day. They want to be with you and involved in your day.
We’re Excited for this Litter!
We are so excited to announce the breeding of Marshall and Daphne.
Marshall has a wonderful temperament and spends his day greeting families at his families business. He is sweet and attentive. He tends to be on the lower-energy side of Poodles, which is more accommodating for therapy work, but also benefits busy families.
Daphne is a full sister to Primrose. She has the same gentle demeanor that we love so much about Prim. She is confident when out in public and loves everyone she meets.
Together we expect to have a litter of amazing therapy-quality puppies. We were able to place five puppies out of Primrose’s last litter into either therapy or service work. We expect similar results with this litter and we’d love to help you get the perfect dog for your family.
Did you know poodles can fade?
This makes it hard to predict final colors, let me share all the details in this quick blog article.
Primrose & Kindle’s Litter
Expected due date will be September, 2025
We are currently taking deposits!
“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.”
Tamarack’s Primrose
Silver Standard Poodle
21″ at the shoulder, approximately 45 lbs.
APAW’s Rising Sun FDC, CGC, TKN “Kindle”
Cream Poodle
22″ at the shoulder, 36 lbs.
Size & Color
We’re eagerly anticipating black, blue, silver, or apricot (which will fade to cream) in this litter. We expect these puppies to range from 35-45 lbs. about 18-23 inches at the shoulder. They are a little bit of an outcross, which may lead to a variation in sizes, but not so much it’ll change what the dogs can do.
Temperament & Personality
These pups should be quite calm and will be very invested in their relationship with their human. Both parents adore their people and are very emotionally attuned to you. Further, they’ll take that confidence anywhere you want to take them, making them the ultimate in-the-world pups.
Activity & Lifestyle
These pups should thrive in a home environment where they can be with you, whether you’re at home at your desk, at the coffee shop with friends, or looking for a therapy potential.
We’re Excited for this Litter!
We are very excited about this breeding! We love Primrose as she’s so calm and well-adjusted. She’s the easy, go-anywhere dog. She doesn’t get flustered about anything and calmly takes on new environments, I can always trust her to be calm and relaxed wherever I take her.
We want to keep this going which is why we selected Kindle to complement these traits. Kindle is a low-drive, emotionally attuned male with a gentle nature and a calming presence. He is calm and his emotional responses are endearing and reliable, making him an excellent choice for therapy and service work, which has always been our goal with our lines.
We are looking forward to the smaller standard build without sacrificing durability.
