Meet Della, a promising addition to our program who was bred by our associate, Kasey, of Meeker’s Ridge Standard Poodles. Co-owned with us, Della inherits a remarkable lineage, boasting the prestigious title of her parents:  GRCH Meeker’s Smoking Gun Silver Briar CGC and GRC RACEN Sapphire’s Hard to Get BCAT DASH CGCA TKN SPOT-ON ATD VCX. 

From the moment she entered the world, Della captured her mother’s heart, and it was clear she was destined for greatness. With a sweet disposition reminiscent of her father’s, Della exudes charm and potential.

Della’s potential to inherit her father’s renowned work ethic especially excites us. With such determination and drive, she is poised to become a formidable presence in whatever endeavors she pursues. We eagerly anticipate her journey in the show ring and performance sports, confident that she will continue to uphold the standard of excellence we strive for at SPFL and Meeker’s Ridge.
