Black Jack Daniels of Poodle Mania
Croatia Import
This is exciting news, the corroboration of Harpers Mini Poodles and Winters Wind Poodles. Destiney Brown of Harpers Mini Poodles is bringing a youthful zest and social media experience to our program. I am always excited to see a younger generation get involved in the sport of Dog Showing and Performance. Destiney is also owns a grooming business.
Rob and I traveled to Croatia last fall and brought home 4 miniature poodles. We are starting off a program with a proven show dog, Black Jack Daniels of Poodle Mania. He had an impressive showing career in Eastern Europe.
Destiney and I are focusing on Blacks and Reds to start off. We have started all OFA Testing on all four mini’s. When all results are in we will do a breeding, so keep checking back to see exciting updates!
AKC Inspected & Compliant Breeding Facility
Conformation
We are committed to breeding a Standard Poodle that is as close to correct structure according to the breed standard. We believe this creates the overall picture of a poodle that glides down the sidewalk, makes heads turn in the show ring, leaps in the fields and creates the wonderful silhouette seen around the world in the Poodle. In breeding we have a high standard for temperament, performance and structure in every Poodle we breed.
Performance
We have Total Dog Awards to show our Poodles are the complete package. Beauty with Brains. To this end our dogs participate in Performance events. It shows that a Winters Wind Poodle is structurally sound and that they can perform tasks. Our dogs are titled in or working on titles in: Lure Coursing, Obedience, Agility, Nose Work, Dock Jumping, Fly Disc and even that of Service Dog!
Health
Winters Wind will not breed any animal until 2 years of age and only after Health Testing is complete and listed on OFA. We utilize Better Bred, UC Davis VGL genetic testing and Embark on our breeding dogs. Our dogs have OFA health certificates; this certification give Puppy buyers the knowledge that the parents of the their puppy has passed important health testing standards. Upon request we will provide copies of all health testing.
We also believe in Dr. Jean Dodds low vaccine protocol.
