OUR MOMMAS
OUR MOMMAS
At Pickerel Pups, we truly believe our breeding and rearing methods are second-to-none. Our selection of AKC female mommas are unrivaled, with a variety of pedigrees, ages and dispositions. From calm and cuddly to energized and playful, we have it all. We hand-select each and every mom for our program based on healthy bloodlines, personality traits that we desire as family companions and for their beautiful coloring.
FIONA
Standard Poodle
Meet Fiona, our petite AKC Standard Poodle carries a striking blue coat with a beautiful gun-metal gray sheen, giving her an elegance that is impossible to miss.
Exceptionally intelligent and deeply devoted, Fiona is closely bonded to Kate and prefers to be wherever Kate is. Though smaller in stature (42 pounds), she carries herself with quiet confidence and natural authority, effortlessly holding her place at the heart of the pack.
Balanced, perceptive, and wonderfully focused, Fiona embodies everything we love about the Standard Poodle — beauty, brains, and unwavering loyalty. We are so excited to watch the legacy of this remarkable girl continue through the puppies she will one day raise.
COSETTE
Standard Poodle
Say hello to Cosette, lovingly known as "Coco".
This beautiful AKC Standard Poodle displays striking black phantom abstract coloring, paired with an elegance that feels both timeless and calm.
Intelligent yet independent, Coco carries herself with quiet confidence and an easy, laid-back nature. She is never demanding or overly vocal — simply steady, observant, and content to move gently within the rhythm of the pack. Her peaceful presence brings a sense of balance wherever she goes.
With lovely conformation and a larger frame expected to mature near sixty pounds, Coco blends strength with softness in the most natural way. She is a thoughtful, grounded girl whose calm spirit makes her truly special.
We look forward to watching her gentle story continue to unfold.
Our up and comings...
Agnes
Standard Poodle
Oh Agnes, our beloved cream-colored AKC Standard Poodle, affectionately known as the family’s “cream puff.”
Now grown into our biggest girl, Aggie carries both impressive size and an equally bright personality.
Confident, friendly, and impossible not to love, Aggie greets everyone as if they already belong. She shares the same remarkable sire as Fiona, the beautiful brown Standard Poodle Remy of Cajun Kennels, and that quiet confidence and natural leadership seem to run strong in her lines. Lately, she’s even begun gently challenging her big sister for the crown.
Despite her blossoming beauty and growing stature, Agnes is still very much a puppy at heart — silly, playful, and always certain she deserves to be the center of attention. Her joyful spirit and affectionate nature make her truly unforgettable.
We can’t wait to watch this stunning cream girl continue to mature into all she’s meant to be.
Rooney
Golden Retriever
Rooney! Our AKC Golden Retriever and a relative of our beloved Olive, Rooney comes from exceptional hunting lineage as the daughter of the renowned Venom of Iron Range Goldens. Her rich, deep red coat is something we simply couldn’t resist — and she truly is a stunner.
Spirited, intelligent, and incredibly agile, Rooney approaches life around the lake with endless curiosity and drive. She’s still very much in her learning season — occasionally attempting to find her people or sneak out of the kennel whenever the opportunity presents itself — but beneath that busy energy is a girl who genuinely wants to do the right thing.
Rooney is a thoughtful listener with a bright mind, and her potential is already beginning to shine through. As she continues to mature, we expect her to grow into a capable, balanced, and deeply loyal Golden Retriever who reflects both her strong heritage and her gentle heart.
We’re so excited to watch her story unfold.
Jane
Bernese Mountain Dog
Meet Jane.
We couldn’t resist welcoming another Bernese Mountain Dog into our family — there’s just something about that gentle, devoted temperament that captures your heart all over again.
Jane came to us from Pleasant Lake Bernese Mountain Dogs already beautifully socialized and thoughtfully raised. While she began as a soft, easy-going girl, she has grown into a confident, active, and wonderfully opinionated young Berner. These days, she and her best friend Rooney can usually be found digging up a little mischief together.
Despite her growing size, Jane remains deeply affectionate and closely bonded to Kate, carrying that classic Bernese sweetness we love so much. She is no longer our shy wallflower — and we have a feeling her story is only just beginning.
