Ayhoka

51lbs. – 18″tall

I have always had a difficult time finding poodles from breeders that I would want to add into my breeding program. I seek puppies whose parents have been health-tested for generations, who are well tempered, and who possess the look and structure that are important to better my breeding program. Meeting all of these criteria has been a difficult task. Whenever I thought I found the perfect addition, there was usually a reason I couldn’t add them – either the puppy didn’t pass my strict health testing, their temperament wasn’t just right, or they didn’t grow up to be what I expected. Some may say I’m a bit too selective when adding dogs to my program. I raise a lot of dogs, but only a few actually make the cut.

I decided to breed a litter of poodles for myself. I choose 2 of my most prized poodles Coco and Crumpet. They had a beautiful litter, all of which I kept for my breeding program. Ayhoka was one of these puppies.

This is the 2nd litter of poodles I have kept out of this pairing. I had kept a litter 5 years ago and have had great success with these puppies so before Coco was retired, I had one last litter to keep these amazing lines around a bit longer. These lines have proven litter after litter, over almost one decade to be healthy, well tempered and they have made loving family dogs!

Here is a little more about Ayhoka’s personality!
Ayhoka is one of those dogs that gets lost in the crowd. Which I would say is a good thing because the dogs that stand out usually stand out for a reason. She is quiet, can be reserved at time, always on her best behavior and never starts trouble. She listens well (when we need her to come inside) and sets a good example for other dogs around her. She is like “mama bear”. She is very cooperative and likes to please. She gets along with all the other dogs and never starts any type of trouble. She is part of the “good girls club”.
She is affectionate but on her own terms. I wouldn’t say she is the most affectionate dog in the kennel. She picks and chooses when to give affection. She adores people she knows but it can take her a few moments to warm up to new people. All in all she has a very sweet and easy going personality and I look forward to sharing her puppies with families around the globe!
