The ultimate non-shedding companion dog

Please note that we are in the process of documenting all of of the DNA and radiograph results on ALL of our breeding dogs. It is a very time consuming process. We do not breed any of our dogs without first determining DNA and orthopedic soundness. If results are not indicated here it is only because we have not had time to input the information.

Meet, “Martini” (“Teenie”)

(AKC “Powder Valley Solo’s Perfectly Dry Martini”)

AKC Female Tri-parti-color Miniature Poodle

Teenie is the beautiful daughter of Ziva (now retired) and Solo. She is a fourth generation Powder Valley Poodle. An unusual-colored tri-parti, she has a base of cream with black, brown and reddish markings. Teenie’s eyes are very dark and the color around her eyes and lips are black. Her nose is also black. So far   —   all of Teenie’s puppies all have had the desirable black lips, eyes and nose. Teenie weighs 13 lbs. and stands just under 13 inches at the shoulder. She is an excellent example of a miniature poodle in both looks and behavior.

Teenie is very sweet, extremely people oriented, and naturally well-behaved. She has not had any formal training —  I know this as a fact because she lives with me  —  but she acts like she has had some house manners training from the very beginning. She is quiet, gets along with everyone and behaves herself without having to be told. Although still very playful and animated, she is easy to be around and live with. A very sweet, beautiful young addition to our girls.  

Martini’s COI is 14%

Martini is clear of 234 genetic conditions (Embark), including: vWD, PRCD, HEXB, NEWS, and osteochondrodysplasia. 

Color traits are: EE, ,KyKy, AyAt, NN, Bb, Ssp, hh, FF, and TT.


Meet, “Scout”

Scout is a daughter of Harper and Vinny. A 12 pound, sweet, willing and affectionate little goldendoodle. A fifth generation Powder Valley Poodles puppy, and EXACTLY what we like to produce: healthy, intelligent, easy to live with, easily trained and affectionate dogs suitable as companions or as working service or therapy dogs. In other words, the perfect dog, and in this case, in a very portable and attractive package.

Meet, AKC  “Powder Valley Robbie’s Penny N Spring”

“Spring Penny”

                 Penny is 23 pounds of pure, sweet, well-behaved and beautiful poodle   —   in a medium-sized package not generally seen in the US.  Although very common in Europe and other countries, the “moyen” or, “klien” – sized poodle (“medium” in French and in German) is not seen as often in America. This is unfortunate, because this size is a great, multi-purpose, easy, compact and portable size for both working and family activities. Penny is a wonderful companion, a great mom and a superb ambassador for the moyen-sized poodle. Her puppies, when she is bred to Solo, will produce sweet, calm, predictable 18 to 20 pound adult dogs. When bred to one of our smaller studs, her babies will of course, be a little smaller, but they should all retain their mom’s sunny disposition.

Spring Penny 20 mo.

Penny at 20 mo. and sporting a “Doodle” haircut. She is 100% AKC Poodle “Moyen” – sized. (medium)


Meet, “Nestlie”

Nestlie is a chocolate toy goldendoodle. Daughter of Harper and Vinny.  

Nestlie combines the sweetness and vivacious nature of her dad, Vinny, with the incredible athleticism and desire to please of her mom, Harper. She is the best of both. Nestlie’s babies should be sweet, playful and confident ambassadors of good will and puppy kisses. I am REALLY looking forward to having Nestlie puppies to play with! 


Meet, “Aspen” (AKC “Powder Valley Robbie’s Aspen Gold”)

AKC Miniature Poodle Apricot with White Markings

Aspen is the gorgeous daughter of our Gabby and Robbie (both now retired). She is very intuitive, sweet, affectionate and desiring to please. When you add conformationally correct and a 100% clear genetic panel (OFAs pending) you have an incredible miniature poodle!

Aspen is very easy to be around. She is neither clingy nor independent. She is curious without being nosy and alert without being noisy. She is, in my opinion, a perfect dog in every way! I am very proud of this little girl and will greatly enjoy seeing what our Aspen can produce. 


Meet,”Cottonellie”

F1 Standard Goldendoodle

Ellie is from the “Fabrics” litter of Dream and Elvis, Jr. She is an F-1 goldendoodle. This means that she is half standard poodle and half golden retriever. Ellie got her name “Cotton” from the fabric theme but the “Ellie” part was later added because she was born into the COVID-19 era of toilet paper wars. Thus, “Cottonelle”,  which became, “Cotton- Ellie”.

Ellie has matured into a big girl. She is full grown and weighs 65 lbs.

Ellie is a 4th generation Powder Valley Poodles puppy. So, it is no surprise that she is very sweet, extremely calm and soft-tempered, easy to be around, and yet still playful and engaging. There is not a mean, ornery, aggressive, possessive, fearful or indifferent bone in this girl’s body. She gets along with everybody and everything. The feral barn cats that live on the ranch run when they see Ellie because she is so big. She looks as they run away and appears puzzled and a little upset — like the cats just hurt her feelings by running away from her.

Ellie is an excellent addition to our line up of breeding girls. Her DNA tests came back 100% clear (and that test covers over 280 genetic diseases!) Her cardiac tests came back “Normal” and her hip radiographs show that her hips are better than average. Her hips looked, “Great” as the vet put it.

Ellie’s puppies are showing that they inherit her sweet, friendly and intuitive temperament. They will make great family dogs, children’s playmates, companions for shut -ins and private and public working therapy dogs. And, as long as the service does not require an energetic, active and driven puppy, I think that service dog candidate could also be put into the above potential endeavors for Ellie’s puppies.

We are very proud of our big girl and I know it shows! She is one of the sweetest dogs I have ever met.


Meet “Finn” (National Champion Powder Valley Isis’ Grand Finale)

Finn being shown in October, 2021, at the IABCA show in Greeley, CO.

 Finn is a graceful, athletic and beautiful standard poodle from Isis and Bandit. Finn is a brown and white parti-color, weighs in at about 65 pounds and will be expecting her first litter in early 2022. A National Champion, Finn is outgoing, confident, and capable. A bit on the serious side, she is very much like her mother, Isis, and her grandmother, Diva — who, by the way, at the age of 13 years is still a very capable working service dog for her person in Loveland, CO.

Finn should produce beautiful, fluid-moving and graceful puppies in many different colors depending on the sire. There is no goofy, high-strung drama when it comes to Finn. She is 100% who she is. Straight forward, no nonsense and serious about her job, whatever it is. Protecting her property, keeping her adopted feral kittens clean, cozy and well-behaved, or showing in a conformation ring. This is not the right dog for everyone. She is seriously smart. But, for the right families, Finn’s puppies will be extraordinary. Beautiful, smart, and very capable.

Finn’s Health Clearances and DNA Traits Include: (Embark)

Finn’s COI is 11%

Finn is DNA “Clear” for the following genetic diseases associated with standard poodles: VWD, PRCD PRA, GM2, DM, NEWS, SLC13A1, IDD

She has been cleared for hip dysplasia by Dr. Charles Mizushima in Wellington, CO. As soon as she is old enough we will get her OFA – Hips.

Finn’s color and coat trait DNA include: Eme, (mask), D Locus (MLPH) DD, bb, spsp, (parti-color), FF (fully furnished), TT (long coat), TT (no shedding), TT (curly coat). Her body size indicators are all Larger.


Meet, “Teddi”

Teddi at 7 wks

Teddi at 7 weeks of age….

Teddi is a 14 pound athletic and endearing VERY petite miniature goldendoodle from Sachi, (now retired) and Solo. We have to show you Teddi’s baby picture for now because she just had a VERY close haircut and I want her to grow out a little before we do any glamor shots of her!

Teddi is a very smart and very people oriented little girl. She is also very nosy, wanting to get into everybody’s business, adopt (or steal) all of the other mom’s babies (if she could), and greet EVERYBODY enthusiastically when they come to the ranch. She wants to know what is going on in every corner of every acre of the ranch every minute of every day. Thus, her nick name, “Gladys”, after the nosy neighbor character in the old TV show, “Bewitched”. 

Teddi is active without being hyper, athletic without needing to prove it every day, affectionate without being clingy and curious about everything. Eric, her guardian,  has taught her numerous tricks and she greatly enjoys showing them off.  


Meet, “Dusty Daisy”

Daisy

Daisy is the toy-sized (13 lbs.) daughter of Minnie and Vinny. She is an apricot sable toy goldendoodle. Daisy is an active participant in all of her guardian family’s activities. She LOVES playing with (and bossing around) the bigger dogs in the house and is a staunch protector and playmate to the kids.


Meet “Twinkles”

Twinkles (1)

Twinkles, pictured here as a puppy, is an active, playful and engaging moyen-sized poodle from Isis and Robbie (both now retired). Twinkles weighs 20 lbs and is a wonderful combination of her dad’s outgoing and sweet temperament and her mom’s athleticism and poise. She is a apricot with white markings abstract color and combined with Bodie, our abstract patterned 25 pound miniature goldendoodle stud, should produce some incredible baby goldendoodles averaging around 23 pounds. 


Meet, “Cinnamon”!

Cinnamon3

“Cinnamon”, red sable female miniature poodle

Cinnamon is the cute, sweet and playful daughter of our Foxy/Indy and Vinny. She is a deep red sable and weighs 11 lbs. She is am American Kennel Club registered miniature poodle. Cinnamon displays all the wonderful traits poodles are known for. She is affectionate, confident, outgoing and playful. She LOVES people and adores children. Her deep red sable color is very attractive and her height and weight make for the PERFECT lap dog — small enough to comfortably fit yet big enough to jump on and off the furniture without help and without being fragile. She is a perfect little poodle.


Meet, “Lily Ann”

Lily Ann is the daughter of our Gabby (now retired) and Vinny. She is an American Kennel Club registered miniature poodle. She is a light apricot sable and weighs about 11 lbs. 

Lily Ann is sweet, very family-oriented, (not afraid of strangers   —  just really prefers her family of mom, dad, human little brother and big sister dog “Dakota” (also a PVP girl) and little sister, “Aspen”, (yet another PVP girl). She is the epitome of the great little family dog. She loves being in a lap while watching tv, but she will also play for long periods with her human little brother and doggie sisters. Usually, intact female dogs do not get along very well   —   especially when they are in estrus (in season). But, these three; Lily Ann, Dakota and Aspen, are devoted to each other. Lily Ann is not one of the dogs we would take into a show ring, but, we have plenty of gorgeous dogs. Lily Ann is  the kind of dog we want to offer to families   —   a sweet, affectionate, loyal and tolerant little lap dog. 

Lily Ann’s Embark DNA tests show that Lily Ann is one of the few purebred dogs of ANY breed that is 100% clear of ALL genetic markers for testable genetic diseases. Her COI is 6% (this is much lower than average and indicates very little inbreeding over many generations).

Additionally, her coat color and coat traits DNA show the following results: Eme. (probable/possible mask on face), KyKy, Intermediate Red Pigmentation Likely, DD, NN, Bb, SS, mm, FF, (fully furnished), CT, TT. 


Meet, “Phoenix”

(Shown as a puppy. More recent photo will be posted as soon as she gets a new haircut)

Phoenix is the beautiful standard poodle daughter of Sunny and Houston. She is a red, 45lb. American Kennel Club registered standard poodle and stands about 24 inches at the shoulder. When she fills out I imagine that she will weigh in the neighborhood of 55 lbs. But, like her mom and dad, she may not get there until the age of three or so.

Phoenix is gorgeous, outgoing, playful, a little bit of a goof-ball, (at least for now, but she’s still growing up) and very people oriented. She gets along with EVERYBODY and loves other dogs of all sizes. She is very smart, and very willing to please. In other words   —   a very typical Powder Valley Poodles standard poodle!


Meet “Dakota”!

Dakota 3

Dakota (which, by the way, is a Lakota Indian word that means, “Friend”) is a female, half golden retriever (Elvis, Jr.) and half standard poodle (Tahoe) first generation standard goldendoodle. Tahoe’s adult coat is turning out to be a gorgeous, deep golden red. Tahoe is a big girl and has an even bigger heart. She has an incredibly sweet, calm and steady temperament. Dakota is the type of dog that EVERYONE should have if they’ve got kids  —  especially if this would be their first dog. Dakota is gentle, naturally well-behaved, quiet, LOVES people (especially kids) and has NEVER met a stranger. As a watch dog she would bomb terribly. But, as a family dog she is the one that EVERYONE in the neighborhood wishes THEY had.  An absolute gem.

Meet “Munchie”!

Munchie is the cute and playful daughter of Cous Cous Cootie (now retired) and Robbie. She got her mom’s beautiful phantom black and red color but her dad’s personality. Munchie is very much like her dad, Robbie  —  playful, outgoing, confident and LOVES people. ANY people. Not a serious bone in this girl’s body  —  she just wants to have fun, play, be held and be a bit of a goof-ball. This is one happy girl. When life gives you lemons  —  play with them!

Munchie babies from Vinny will be small miniatures and toys. They will come in all kinds of colors  —  reds, black, apricots, sable and phantom. The puppies will be playful, outgoing, curious and intuitive. These puppies from Munchie and Vinny will be wonderful, athletic and engaging companions and super affectionate lap dogs. They will be able to paddle board with you in the morning and more than happy to snuggle in for lap time and a movie that night. 


Meet “Silver”!

Silver 4

Silver is the gorgeous minidoodle daughter of Maya (now retired) and Vinny. She has her mother’s beautiful silver phantom color pattern and, her mother’s sweet, sweet, temperament. When you add Vinny’s intuitive and playful personality to the mix you end up with one heck of a great dog! Silver weighs 25 pounds.  She is sweet, calmer than most and incredibly biddable. She, like her mother, lives to please and loves EVERYONE.  We plan on breeding Silver to Robbie for some incredibly smart, intuitive, sweet and trainable puppies that very well could be extremely colorful. The combination of Silver and Robbie should produce puppies with a very high genetic propensity toward being excellent service, therapy and competitive obedience dogs. And, of course, WONDERFUL and easily lived with family companions and children’s playmates. 


Honey

Honey is a wonderful, sweet, easy-going and intuitive standard goldendoodle from Jersey  (retired) and Houston.  A beautiful, honey golden color, Honey is bright, friendly, playful yet respectful. A very, very, nice example of what people want in a family dog.

The perfect goldendoodle.


Chloe Spice

She is very sweet, smart, and playful. Chloe loves everyone she meets, human or dog  —  doesn’t matter  —  and has never met a child she doesn’t want to immediately adopt and take home to keep.

Autumn

Autumn is the pretty little miniature poodle daughter of our girl Ritz and our red sable boy Vinny. She is a smaller miniature, only weighing 8.5 pounds, but she is lanky and still growing and will most likely mature right over the “Toy Poodle” height limit of 10 inches. Autumn is very, very, sweet. Very affectionate and very tolerant. She loves children and gets along with any dogs she meets. Quite soft in her personality  —  she isn’t timid at all  —  but she wants to be accepted by all and treats everyone she meets with respectful attention. From her point of view  —  EVERYONE is a potential friend and warm lap, and if you ask her to, she will be more than happy to sit there and be petted and talked to. Had a hard day? This little girl will try to take the burden from your shoulders. Respectfully, quietly, and lovingly….

Although Autumn doesn’t have the color, coat, or features desirable in a show dog, her personality, temperament and good genetic health earned her a spot in our breeding program. ANYONE would love a puppy like Autumn….

Kimber – Too is a daddy’s girl through and through and loves hanging out with her guardian, Randy and his family.
