Desert Reef Poodles

WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!!!

So proud to announce that our fabulous girl, Grace,
is now both 
AKC and U-CH Desert Reef's Day Of Grace!

 

Introducing our first Home Bred AKC Champion
Ch Desert Reef's Once In A Blue Moon
'Ava'

Very proudly, Ava, 'Desert Reef's Once In A Blue Moon' is now both an AKC Ch and UKC Ch!  She first recieved her UKC title, with co-owner, Erica Muno... to include a Best In Show!  
Erica put her first 2 AKC points on her before she was sent to the wonderful handler, Lacy Williams.  With Lacy, Ava finished in fine style, taking her last major, for 4 points with the very respected judge, Doris Cozart!  
Besides her beauty, Ava has the most loving and happy temperament. She brings joy to all around her!
 

From our Desert Reef's She's So Fine x Kallita's Taken For Granite litter, silver puppy Desert Reef's Let's Be Bad Guys CGC ... (aka Malcolm)  went into the ring at 6 months old with Heather Collins. His second time showing, at the AKC show in Pomona, he took Reserve!  A star is born!  We are really happy for them and wish more nice wins, but most importantly, to have a great time!
**Malcolm recieved Best Puppy at a recent International show in Southern CA! **
**Malcolm also recieved another Best Of Breed win with IAPCA!**

Just starting her 'show career' is the pretty Cephira, out of Kallista's Myles Of Desert Reef and Mysticwinz Desert Reef's Call Me Cloe.  She has earned her title of a UKC Ch, before a year old AND she did it in grand style as she took Best Of Show, in Farmington at just 11 months old!  (Over strong competition to include the #1 2010 Mulit Colored standard poodle!)  Way to go, Cephira and her co-owner/handler Bruce Swift!!!
We will now be cheering her on as she goes for her AKC Ch title.  She is pure delight in white!

Excitement is in the air! 
We'll post pictures from time to time....

Updates....

Grace has finished her AKC Ch! 

Cephira went out with Daniel Chavez, for the winter, receiving some nice wins and points before going back to her co-owner, Bruce Swift.  Bruce continues taking great care of her coat and has pointed her out!  She now just needs her majors... big congrats to Bruce and Cephira!  They are a fabulous team!


Geni, Grace and Sterling puppy, recieved her first points while out with her co-owner, Sarah Haftman.  She will start showing in Southern California this winter, with Leslie Simis, being cared and conditioned by Chris Bailey of Jaset Poodles.  We are excited to see her go in the ring again! 


Geni's brother Frederick, owned by Carmen Sifontes, is showing in Puerto Rico and has received his PR Ch title!  Richard Pagan has been wonderfully caring for his coat and handling for Carmen.  He competed in an International Show at 5 months old and took Best Puppy In Show!!!! 
Congratulations Carmen and Richard!

and also positioned so she didn't see me!
