Accomplished Agility, Obedience, Tracking, Carting, and Potential Conformation Dogs
We ( Bruce + Pamela Rodger) have been involved with Poodles for 37 years. Our lines have come from out crossings of 4 very strong kennel lines from Canada, USA, and Great Britain including Belcourt, Tees, and Pinafore. Our intent has been to solidify sturdy, handsome, healthy dogs for family companions with steady personalities and loving and loyal dispositions. Although sold mainly as pets and great companions, they are conformed to succeed at conformation shows and perform at obedience, agility, tracking, field work, and more.
To accomplish that, our breeding dogs have long lived healthy parents and grandparents reaching ages of 15 years with good quality of life. The parents and grandparents are all screened for potential inherited diseases of purebred dogs in general and poodles in particular. Hip Dysplasia, Elbow Dysplasia, Von Willebrand’s Disease (an inherited clotting disorder like hemophilia), Sebaceous Adenitis (a poodle skin disorder), Neonatal Encephalopathy (a brain disorder in pups). There is no history of epilepsy or Gastric Torsion (stomach twisting) in our lines (this occurs in many dogs with narrow deep chests such as Great Danes, German Shepherds, Dobermans, and Poodles to name a few).

We handle our pups from the moment they are born, and the mom remains part of the family group and are not isolated. Because we weight the pups twice daily in the first 7-10 days to ensure growth, they get used to having things done. Those that are not gaining as much, we supplement with a milk replacement for pups – another human bonding. Their grandmother, Polly is watchful over the pups and then as they grow she teaches and guards when they are outside. Lilly welcomes the assistance. Our cats are checking the pups out as they grow. Our grandchildren visit and handle them as well.
At 4 weeks, we move them to our breezeway where we set up a large pen with blankets at one end and paper at the other. The door opens directly to the outside. Within days, they are chasing the adults outside and peeing and pooping outside. Because we give them a routine that allows them to produce at the reflex time, we rarely have poops in their area after 4.5-5 weeks. It is a lot of work, but worth it. We allow people to visit at 4 weeks, but the visits at 6 weeks are usually more productive for seeing individual behavior and personalities. Because of our years of experience, we are daily temperament testing + assessing their response to strangers, sudden noises (do they shy or investigate), problem solving (simple maze), and confidence and submission (held just off ground for 30 seconds, held upside down on floor etc.)
We also appreciate our friend + show judge, Murray Eason's advice.
He and Michael own Belcourt Grooming and Spa, Bragg Creek.

What makes a RESPONSIBLE breeder? ( picture is Zar's grandpa, Patrick Rooney with one of pups.)
• Allows you to visit and willingly shows you all areas where puppies and breeding dogs spend their time.Those areas are clean, spacious, and well-maintained.
• Has dogs who appear lively, clean, and healthy, and don’t shy away from visitors.
• Keeps their breeding dogs as their pets: not overpopulated, crowded, dirty, or continually confined to cages.
• Keeps their dogs in roomy spaces that meet the needs of their particular breed.
• Breeds only one or a few types of dogs and is knowledgeable about the breeds and their special requirements.

• Meets psychological, as well as physical, needs of their dogs by providing toys, socialization, exercise, and enrichment as befits the specific breed.
• Encourages you to spend time with the puppy’s parents—at a minimum, the pup’s mother—when you visit
• Has a strong relationship with one or more local veterinarians and shows you individual records of veterinary visits for your puppy.
• Is often actively involved with local, state, and national clubs that specialize in the specific breed; responsible breeders may also compete with the dogs in conformation events, obedience trials, tracking and agility trials, or other performance events.
• Explains in detail the potential genetic and developmental problems inherent to the breed and provides documentation that the puppy’s parents and grandparents have been professionally evaluated in an effort to breed those problems out of their puppies.

• To explain why you want a dog.
• To explain who in your family will be responsible for the pup’s daily care and training; where the dog will spend most of his or her time; and what “rules” have been decided upon for the puppy—for example, whether the dog will be allowed on furniture.
• Provide proof from your landlord or condominium board (if you rent or live in a condominium complex) that you are allowed to have a dog.
• Provide a veterinary reference if you have had other pets.
• Sign a contract that you will spay or neuter the dog unless you will be actively showing him or her.
