About
Here at Obsidian HillTop Standard Poodles we work towards producing sound, healthy puppies, both mentally and physically. Our dogs are DNA health tested for Poodle specific disease before they are bred, and some are shown in UKC conformation only. We prefer showing UKC and support UKC breed standard for the poodle breed although our pups will be AKC registered. All Obsidian HillTop Standard pups will be eligible for UKC registration for showing. Our mission to improve the quality, health and temperament of Multicolored Poodles is heavily valued in our breeding program.
We run a fairly small breeding program, currently with only one breeding female, and our only male has been retired. All of our dogs live inside and are members of the family. The pack sleeps with each other or with us, which ever they prefer, every night. Our dogs join us for everything except grocery shopping and doctors appointments. Our dogs are family above anything else. Many of our pups go to Guardian homes and Co-owners to assure they receive plenty of individual care and attention. We want the absolute best for our dogs so if you think you can provide a outstanding home don't hesitate to contact us.
*We WILL NOT sell to commercial breeding facilities, USDA licensed breeders with an abundance of dogs already, puppy mills, backyard breeders and we do not sell our dogs to breeders who do not health test their breeding dogs.
*We support and encourage responsible, ethical breeding and research is the beginning of that. Everyone starts somewhere so don't be discouraged. Keep researching and learning if you have the goal of becoming a breeder. We need more responsible breeders to preserve our beloved breed. If you are new we are happy to help you get started on this wonderful, rewarding journey to becoming a reputable breeder and/or exhibitor. Please Don't be afraid to ask us about getting started as a breeder.
Our purpose for breeding is to produce excellent quality, well rounded dogs suitable for a variety of households. Some of our dogs (every dog is different) used in our breeding program will be shown in UKC conformation and will title as a champion before being bred. We also work our dogs in the field, some agility and other performance events along with Nosework. We want our dogs to be more than just "show dogs" or "pets" we want dogs that have drive but not too much drive, and we want to assure all our dogs are suitable companions with sought-after personalities, temperaments and train-ability.
We expect Obsidian HillTop Standard puppies to be placed in show homes, performance homes, companion homes and we hope selective puppies could be placed as service and therapy dogs as well. We don't breed bad temperaments or aggression, we breed for calm and cool temperaments with gentle nature. Real people pleasers. Puppies who want to be your best friend thru every part of your life.
