OUR PACK

Meet the pack!

 

​ Olive is our Golden Retriever. Olive is the Alpha of our four-legged friends. She is smart, sweet, and dramatic all wrapped in a beautiful dark golden package. Olive is known for her eye rolls, sneaking out of their kennel to see what is happening around our property, or looking for her favorite human, Craig. Olive has had the most amazing litters of Goldendoodle puppies with her boyfriend, Claude.  Olive has proven herself to be a fantastic Momma.  

 

Speaking of Claude, he is our main man around here. Claude was our first AKC Standard Poodle and is from South Carolina. He is the sweetest ball of Apricot curls. Claude thinks he is Kate's tiny lap dog and tries to cuddle with her whenever he can. Claude also loves Olive and wants to spend most of his outside time with her. We can't get enough of this loving boy. His pups definitely got their sweet side from their Dad.

​

Not long after acquiring Claude, we decided to get another male AKC Standard Poodle- enter Valentino. Valentino is from Arkansas and Fun is his middle name! Playing, running, and jumping are all of Val's favorite things. Did we mention Val is 80 pounds?! He is our BIG Black and White Parti Poodle with amazing locks! He looks like a rocker dog, with his long crazy hair. Valentino also has some fantastic hops, and jumps fences, cars, trees... you name it! Val loves to play with Craig on the property or in the shop, or wrestle with Kate while she tries to straighten his top knot.  Update: Great news! Val's OFA's are Excellent!!

​

Once we had two male Standard's we knew we would be moving forward with Standard Poodles. We drove down to Tennessee to find Francesco, who is affectionately known as "Pecco".  Pec is our Tri colored AKC Standard Poodle boy, who is mostly black and white with a slight lining of brown.  Pecco has very tight, dense curls, and is happy just to be around the pack. He is not very demanding (like Val) or outspoken (like Claude)- Pecco is our calm and quiet guy that likes to observe before jumping in and playing. Pecco sired a litter of Bernedoodles with Dot in late spring of 2023. Their pups were the most adorable rollie-pollies we've ever seen. 

​

Next up, is our new AKC Standard Poodle female pup, Fiona. Fiona is from North Carolina and came from an amazing breeder at BOODLES POODLES. Fiona is a blackish brindle color- also known as a blue, and is honestly one of the smartest dogs we have ever owned. She loves to be anywhere with Kate and is very obedient and attentive.  Fiona has a clear Embark package, and has good PennHip scores.  We expect big things from this smarty pants little girl.  

​

We recently acquired a big phantom girl named Colette, affectionately known as "Coco".  Coco came from Angel Eyes Standards in Utah.  She is an AKC Standard poodle and is giving Fiona a run for her money in the brains department.  Coco is people focused and is also independent, an unusual combination.  We look forward to see how this youngster develops and paves her path at Pickerel Pups.   

 

We have two future Mom prospects at Guardian Homes- more information coming soon!
