You'll see pictures of them throughout the site as well. Some of our poodles live with us
while others are enjoying a cozy home with friends and co-owners.

This lovely silver girl is Ari, from Aja's second and last litter of pups. Ari is loved by everyone.
Her excellent demeanor and sweet nature continues to be seen in her puppies,
especially the males who are such love bugs! Her two sets of 'grand kids' are quickly melting hearts too.
I didn't think any dog would be more obedient than Aja... but Ari is awfully close. She is also 'daddy's girl'.
Update: She was 'retired' a while ago... still healthy at 10 years old... and has become a great grandma!
She did enjoy her duties as grandma here, until she was called to bring joy to another.
Ari loves her new life as the 'one and only' with Sydney in Pasadena. She has been traveling with her,
getting to see lots of sites, as well as loads of human grandkids! She has a great purpose, and we are so proud of her never failing love and devotion to her new owner. Thank you too, Syd!

Myles... is such an awesome dog! He is a great ambassador for the breed
and has changed many a 'manly' mind about owning a poodle.
Most days he's greeting customers at Bone Appetit!
I'm asked, time and time again, how can I get my dog to be like him?
Honestly, first you need to start with a standard poodle!
Myles is 25 1/2" and 65# ... very male yet as sweet as they come!
Update: Myles is now 10 years old, has been neutered and is enjoying his retirement living in Colorado Springs with his fabulous new mommy, Wendy. He is actively training his new companion, one of Ava's little daughters... Dharma. Boy, he has his work cut out for him!

'Addie' Desert Reef's Argent Arianne x Lemerle LaMarka Silk Aztec
|
'Addie Girl', as she is known to most all. Right from the start, she was destined to 'do'...
starting with being the first to climb out of the whelping box.
She accomplished lots of 'firsts', and that also includes putting a Ch title on her, through United Kennel Club.
She's a 24" trim dynamo, and one I'm most proud of. She is sweet, like her mother Ari, yet bolder,
and has taken over the role of pack leader among the dogs.
She will play fetch till you tire, as all her puppies do as well. This is my heart dog. \'/
Update:
We tragically lost Addie ... by a sensless malicious act. The company has paid it's fine to the State of Utah, but that does nothing for the ache I'll always have in my heart.
It's still so difficult to write about, tears wash my face each time I think about it.
But in time I will. I'll have a full page dedicated to her, my much beloved favorite. Yes, I can say that!
I miss her everyday....

'Lailah' AKC CH Jaset's Cloak N Dagger x LaMarka Baroque XFile-Scully
|
Lailahmae is 'all that' in a perfect petite package! She's a girl of action,
and watch out if she sees water... she'll be in it! Her inky black coat, delicate features,
and spunky attitude show off superb breeding. Her breeder, Karen Kaempfee and I co-own her together
and yet she begged to live with Suzanne and Aja. They are a happy family, just blocks away.
Thanks Karen and Suzanne!
Update: After 2 wonderful litters, Lailah has been spayed and we couldn't be more pleased
with what she gave us to continue on with. Lucey and little Gabby can be seen below.

'Quintin' Desert Reef's Argent Arianne x Lemerle LaMarka Silk Aztec
|
Quintin loves loving... he's a real people dog and likes nothing better
than to be by your side or in your lap. As all his siblings, he has a lovely temperament,
very well mannered, and wants to please. He is a happy guy who will retrieve a ball
till you are tired of throwing! He is 25" tall, very square... and weighs in at 55lbs.
We are just thrilled with this boy. He lives in Las Vegas, being part of a wonderful home
where 3 young girls are doting on him. What a lucky guy!

'HiD' AM/CAN CH Kava's Hi Ho Silver x Saxony High Style Of Amandi
|
HiD is a special girl, very sweet and... a bit prissy! She's very well mannered
and goes with the flow but has her own mind as well.
She is 23 1/2" tall, cream ... however looking quite white now.
She has lovely dark pigment... helps that both parents are beautiful silvers.
She is excellent with children and enjoys the company of other dogs too.
She happily lives in Reno, enjoying Kia as her playmate.
Couldn't ask for a better home than with Cathleen
and her husband, who spoil them rotten! She has passed all her genetic tests
so we are looking forward to puppies with Quintin late Novermber 2009.
UPDATE: HiD had a fabulous litter with 6 silvers and 1 precious white female!
She is now spayed and 'retired'...we are thrilled to move on with her offspring.
(Rayla, silver female, seen below)

'Kia' Int Ch Calimero Mysi kozisek x Ch Alma z Hlubockeho dvora
|
Kia came to us as a young puppy, flying from Prague! From the moment she bounded out
of her crate, she has captured our hearts. She has the the best black coat we've ever seen,
thick and inky... you'd think it was dyed.
Kia is 22" tall, and a fit 40lbs. She is a girl who loves to 'do' for you...
very athletic, fast and precise in her quick movements.
She loves to fetch and will catch in mid air. Although she wants the object
she is smart enough to know when another wants it too and will let them take it
rather than fight for it. To make everyone happy, we have 2 games of fetch going on,
in different directions! She is also picky about which object she wants to play with
and it's always her decision to make.
(We now have seen this trait has been passed one to her siblings!)
She was an excellent mother that now she wants to be mommy to all!
We are honored to have her be part of Desert Reef poodles...
many thanks to her breeders in the Czech Republic
and for Cathleen who now provides her a fun loving home in Reno.
*Update: After two fantastic litters, Kia was spayed and enjoying retirement.
She and HiD are very happy girls, living together.
Kept from her first litter.... Mila and Cleo, and second litter ...
adorable Bella and her brother, Toby, both inky black too!
