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 blue AKC Standard Poodle with the unmistakable gunmetal-gray coat and a personality far larger than her forty-two pounds.
Fiona is exceptionally intelligent, endlessly observant, and deeply connected to her people — especially Kate, whom she considers both best friend and full-time responsibility. Wherever Kate goes, Fiona is rarely far behind, always watching, always thinking, and always ready for whatever comes next.
Driven, loyal, and surprisingly fearless for her smaller stature, Fiona carries herself with a presence that naturally commands respect within the pack. She is the kind of dog who notices everything, misses very little, and approaches life with both intensity and purpose.
While undeniably beautiful, it is Fiona’s mind and devotion that make her truly unforgettable. She embodies the athleticism, intelligence, loyalty, and human connection we value so deeply in the Standard Poodle breed.
We are incredibly excited to watch her legacy continue through the next generation.
COSETTE
Standard Poodle
Some dogs demand the spotlight. Cosette has never needed to.
Affectionately known as “Coco,” our black phantom abstract AKC Standard Poodle carries herself with a calm confidence and understated beauty that naturally captures attention wherever she goes.
Coco moves through life with an effortless steadiness. She is thoughtful, gentle, and deeply easygoing, preferring peace over chaos and quiet observation over demanding the spotlight. While others may compete for attention, Coco is content simply being near her people and moving comfortably within the rhythm of the home.
With her larger frame, graceful movement, and composed temperament, Coco brings a sense of balance wherever she goes. She possesses a softness that feels grounding — the kind of dog who settles naturally beside you and makes everything around her feel calmer.
Her beauty is undeniable, but it is her peaceful nature and quiet confidence that make her so special to us.
​Coco reminds us daily that strength does not always need to be loud, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have her as part of our program.

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.
GENEVA
Standard Poodle
Meet Geneva.
Every once in a while, a puppy comes along who simply feels like she was always meant to stay.
Born right here at Pickerel Pups, Geneva is the daughter of Fiona and Claude and one of our very first homegrown girls. From the moment she opened her eyes, there was something undeniably special about her. With her rich apricot coat, beautiful white abstract markings, and expressive eyes, Geneva has captivated us from the very beginning.
While she'll likely mature on the smaller side for a Standard Poodle, Geneva has a presence that's impossible to ignore. She carries herself with a confidence well beyond her age, approaching each new adventure with curiosity, courage, and a bright little mind that's always working. She has an uncanny way of figuring things out, often surprising us with just how quickly she learns.
Like her mother, Geneva has a natural elegance that draws people in. But where Fiona leaves you standing back in admiration, Geneva makes you want to walk right over and scoop her into your arms. There's something about her that almost doesn't seem real. She has a way of stopping people in their tracks with one look, only to melt their hearts the moment they meet her.
We have dreamed of raising beautiful, healthy, and exceptional dogs that represent everything Pickerel Pups stands for, and Geneva feels like a glimpse of that dream coming to life. We couldn't be more excited to watch her grow, complete her health testing, and, one day, help shape the next generation of our program.
For now, we're simply enjoying every stage of watching this remarkable little girl grow. If her first few months are any indication, we have a feeling Geneva is already proving herself to be a true contender for the crown.
Thank You For Your Interest in a Pickerel Pup!
