We don't just "say" we have Total Dogs
We have the UKC "TOTAL DOG AWARDS" to prove it !!

Conformation indicates what the animal appears to be.
But performance indicates what the animal actually is."

Blossom took a Best Puppy In Show at her first dog show and appearance in Public
winning many hearts with her devilish antics and developed a ring side cheering section.
Judge's comments were: "I've shown Poodles before and wow, she has amazing shoulder lay back,
which is so hard to get, and is a nice square puppy. You should be pleased with your breeding"
Of course Blossom brings me back down to earth by promptly taring a huge hole in my nylons which I had to wear the rest of the show. (did I mention she is a bit of a "devil dog" ??LOL )
Dare's First Dog, shown in Breeder/Owner Class, she wins Best Female
AND Best of Breed over Champions !!

under respected Poodle Breeder and UKC, AKC Judge: J. Ray Johnson
Whose comments were: "she has an excellent front, good movement and great shoulder lay back
and is a square nice bitch that you should be proud of. She is going to go far"
Proud doesn't describe the exhilaration I felt winning with my puppy, over incredible competition. (special thanks to Billie M. who took these amazing photos and was as graceful a winner, as she was a
poodle cheerleader for me, when I won. Rare qualities that I pray I too possess and strive to foster if I don't.)
Dare has 80 points and 2 competition wins
Ula's first show as a Champion she won 1 Best of Champion Classes
Best of Breed and a Group 3rd !!! Not bad for a 7 month old puppy.
Ula needs 4 more wins to be a Grand Champion
Thankfully the judge was most understanding about her shaggy coat
from the rain storm that we had, which was quickly followed by brilliant sun and a heat wave
and no hydro to do any blow drying or styling before the shows.
Unfortunatly our Dream and Sultan felt more like sunbathing than doing any actual weight pulling....
but as Crystal is fond of saying, "they look pretty".LOL so I just had to include their photo here
