CURRENT PUPDATES
From our home to yours
Our puppies are raised with structure, affection, and consistency. We work closely with each family to help ensure the right fit — not just for now, but for years to come.
We’re here to answer questions, offer guidance, and remain a resource long after puppies go home.
Confirmed Litters – Spring 2026
Both of our planned Standard Poodle pairings have been confirmed pregnant, and we’re looking forward to what these thoughtfully planned litters will bring.
What to Expect
Each litter develops in its own way, and while early confirmation is promising, additional details will follow after our scheduled puppy counts.
Timeline
• X-ray counts: May 12, 2026
• Estimated arrivals: May 19–24, 2026
🐩 Claude + Fiona: Confirmed Pregnancy!!
Fiona × Claude
A pairing known for balance, structure, and deeply loyal, human-focused temperaments. Expected to produce smaller Standard Poodles in solid colors including cream, apricot, blue, black, and possibly silver.
🌟 Pecco + Cosette: Quiet Confidence and also... confirmed pregnancy!
A pairing anticipated to produce larger Standard Poodles with calm, easygoing temperaments and striking coat patterns, including phantoms (both black and brown), partis, and possibly even tri colored puppies.
🐾 Program Notes
Rooney and Jane continue to mature, and we are thoughtfully observing their development as future prospects within our program. All decisions remain guided by health testing, temperament, and long-term goals.
Polly, in the meantime, has made a noticeable shift in behavior and seems quite committed to staying on everyone’s good side.
Agnes continues to grow into a beautiful young female, quietly taking it all in.
💛 What’s Next
We’re excited to share that both planned pairings have been confirmed pregnant.
At this stage, everything is progressing right on track, and we’re looking forward to learning more at our upcoming puppy counts.
