Meet Our Newest Bred-By Puppies

In Partnership with Lakeridge Standard Poodles

We are thrilled to introduce our latest bred-by stars: Simone, Tessa, Tonks, and Jaina. This special litter was co-bred with our wonderful friends at Lakeridge Standard Poodles, combining the best of both programs. These four cream beauties were thoughtfully evaluated and have all been placed in co-ownerships where they will shine in the conformation ring and beyond.

The Puppies

Simone
Co-owned with Lakeridge Standard Poodles, Simone is a standout with elegance and presence. She carries the strength of her pedigree and has already demonstrated her potential winning breed multiple times over other standard poodle pups!

Tessa
Co-owned with Mikinzi, Tessa wasted no time making an impression—winning a Best Puppy in Show on her very first day out! She’s as sweet as she is showy, and we can’t wait to see what she and Mikinzi accomplish together.

Tonks
Co-owned with Sam, Tonks has a fun-loving, outgoing personality that’s sure to charm both judges and crowds alike. With her confident carriage and stunning structure, she’s a bright prospect for AKC and UKC competition.

Jaina
Co-owned with Chelsa, who also co-owns our lovely Keishi. Jaina is smart, athletic, and beautifully balanced—everything we hoped for in this cross. She’s already showing tremendous potential.

About the Parents

These puppies are sired by the incredible Kingston, known for his many qualities especially his fabulous rear structure, and out of our amazing Katie, whose temperament and elegance need no introduction. Together, they’ve produced a litter that represents the very best of both lines: sound movement, beautiful heads, correct structure, and wonderful temperaments.

We’re so excited to watch Simone, Tessa, Tonks, and Jaina grow and shine in their new partnerships!
