This boy has been more than worthy of many titles
however a girl meaning myself can only do so much
you know ;)  After attending PCA Regional Specialty Show in 2013,
I received a concussion stopping me from doing any shows period for awhile!  

 Every few years or so I carefully select a breeding, 
raise the litter and then show my picks in both
Conformation & Performance in Canada and the U.S.A.

What do those letters mean before/after the dog’s name?

♥ Barn Hunt  Title  for Santos ♥ 

Barn Hunt
Valley  Dog Sports

Hillsboro, Oregon, USA
 December 2nd & 3rd, 2017


Well FINALLY we went and tried out Barn Hunt!
I had been wanting to try for some time now since a few years before my concussion back just after Santos, Sparkle and I went to PCA Regionals in
Salem, Oregon September 2013 where Santos achieved his
AKC Rally Advanced Title

With one practice run at Barn Hunt Academy in Bellingham, Washington
two weeks prior, I decided it was time to just do it! 
So five Standard Poodles BHA Registered and entered, it was a
Road Trip to Hillsboro, Oregon the day before the Trials!!!

Saturday December 2nd, 2017
Instinct Test, Trial 1  ​
​Judge: Dan Mata
The first Instinct Trial, it was me that did not click onto exactly which tube the rat was in until our one minute was up!  Santos indicated just as I was figuring it out.

Instinct Test, Trial 3  ​
​Judge: 
Luke Ketchum
Our second Instinct Test I understood now how Santos was indicating where the rat was.  We achieved our RATI Rat Instinct Title​ with the Barn Hunt Association.  Unfortunately AKC only accepts levels Rat Novice Titles and up.

Trick Dog Titles
August 30th, 2017 
to January 3, 2018​
Santos and I accomplished three New Titles
at the ripe age of just over 13-1/2 years up to a
month shy of 14 years old with
Do More With Your Dog!
♥ 
Novice Trick Dog
Intermediate Trick Dog 
Advanced Trick Dog
With these three levels with DMWYD, I sent the highest level
that Santos and I achieved off to AKC to receive our
TKA Trick Dog Advanced Title! 
That is FOUR NEW TITLES just short of turning fourteen years old!!!
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ​
Just hanging around ...
At the older age of just on 14 years old my bed is too high
for the seniors so I do not allow them up anymore however look who
jumped on the bed two days in a row (below right) after we went
for our yearly adjustments at the chiropractor?!! 
I think after two days of me saying OFF he got the point and has not done
it again since.  Santos is in great shape however at his age I want to keep
it that way and I do not want him jumping off the
bed slipping and hurting himself. ♥

HaHa was I nervous .... yup!!  LOL  Then let's try the other left!!
  How fun to watch later on.  Thank you Charlene Shelton for holding my video camera!!!
I was very pleased I decided to partake in the Poodle Specialties and
make the drive to Salem, Oregon!  It was great to be reacquainted with so
many Poodle Lovers and Breeders I had not seen in some time.

Catching up with Poodles I also had not seen in years was wonderful along with shopping for Leggings for the boys, new Critter Beds and some long awaited Bling Collars!! 

Extra special was seeing a couple of my pups and their owners
who came to see all the Poodles and meet back up with their Poodle Family. 
That is always the best!

 Two American Titles

Saturday June 29, 2013
Bell Vernon Kennel Association
Mt.Vernon, Washington, U.S.A.

Today was the start of the heat wave on the West Coast. Up to then it has been raining and quite cool in the mornings.  I was already feeling it at the U.S./Canadian Border line up at 8:30 AM and it did not get any better ugh!  I have suffered heat exposure before so I do not do well in it anymore. I even considered turning around to come home! LOL 

We persevered continuing onwards south to Mt.Vernon.  Thankfully the
I-5 bridge that had collapsed back in May just north of Mt.Vernon had been temporarily fixed so we did not have a detour to contend with.  We arrived at the show grounds just in time to see the end of Rally Advanced finding a nice big tree in the corner close to the Obedience & Rally Rings which was a very well received spot by all seeking shade  :)

  American Rally Novice Title

Ok so the walk throughs went well so I thought however
when dog and handler together went in the ring ... like I said and not making excuses it was hot!!! LOL  Trying to remember back what happened on our course is just not there now other than Santos was distracted as were a lot of the dogs as it was the first outdoor Trial!   I know I know PROOFING!

At one Station I somehow got his leash under his front leg I think when
we did the Down and Stop Station!  Then when I tried to fix it upon
Judge Alice Peterson's  instruction Santos thought I was giving him another signal to down so down he went!  LOL  Talk about fumble dee and fumble dumb!

  Anyways I shan't go on as we did qualify for our 3rd Q from our third Trial taking a second in class to receive a new AKC Rally Novice Title!  :)

  With the 3 Rally Trials Santos accomplished 1 High in Class and 2 second places in class giving him the name

New AKC CD Title Judge Kent Delaney
Keeping ourselves hydrated and in the shade the best we could,
Santos and I just hung out under the big old tree for about another 2-1/2 hours getting a yummy chicken sandwich with Santos getting a nice one all to himself later for treats & training minus the bun etc...of course.

Under Judge Kent Delaney Santos and I took a High In Class to achieve our 3rd Q at our third Obedience Novice Trial from the Novice A Class for a
New AKC CD Title!!!
  With the 3 Trials he accomplished 2 High in Class and 1 second place!

♥  Top  Producer in Canada ♥

Santos now has the TOP PRODUCER status in Canada!
This happened on a somewhat special day as in the regards of both
my Father and Santos shared the same birthday being January 11th! 
My Father would have been 89 years old and Santos will be
9 years old.   This is how it made it easier for me to remember their ages  ;)  Unfortunately, my Father passed on the very same day October 28th, 2012 that Santos became a Top Producer.
Two very honourable males in my life that I love and will
treasure for the rest of my life!!!

This gives him the name

Many handler errors occur while the team are becoming one....or should
I say more like while the handler is learning new stations and
exercises as in the video below  ;)
An excerpt from Dogs In Review

DOGS IN REVIEW VOLUME 9, ISSUE 3 MAY 2005
OH CANADA!  From the West by Dawne Deeley
Coming up for BIS - BBE was the barely-year-old Standard Poodle dog, Violet Sky Above, who is lovingly presented by Deborah Foster.  Foster is one of those rare individuals who believes the amount of reward one can expect from a project can be gauged precisely by the amount of work put in.  A relative newcomer to the sport of conformation exhibiting, Foster has already become a fixture on the West Coast scene, with several stout wins to her credit.

Thank you Dawne Deeley of Tsar Shadow Carelian Bear Dogs!!!

I brought Santos out for a few weekends in which he placed a

Group First!! 
What an honour to go around the
Best in Show ring with a dog I had bred let alone a silver one.  Thank you to Judge Jacqueline Quiros-Kubat
for finding the qualities my boy has! 

Santos first Group One at age 1 - 1/2 years old.

  . . playing after a Show!

Santos has a sweet loving
disposition with a natural drive for retrieving. 
 I can ask him "What have you got?" being my biddable boy, he`ll bring whatever it is to me. 

AKA "Santa Toes"  named by my girlfriends 6 year old daughter as she paused with arms crossed holding her hand up to her face trying to remember his name and piped up Santa Toes!!! 
It has stuck with all his friends!!!

Santos is a typey silver package
with clean sound balanced movement, covering the ground as a
Standard Poodle should.  He stands 24" square at the shoulders.

He has full body with spring of rib, depth and breadth of chest with good fill.  His temperament is proof of how he spends time and patience around puppies that maul him and his continual patience of a 7 month old puppy male leaving his ears soaked from constant chewing on!  UGH!!!

He is a very biddable dog and he effortlessly glides over jumps.

I can`t wait to start
Obedience and Agility with him.

Fall of 2005 
We started dabbling in Beginners Agility

with sis Viola, mom Shiraz & grandmom Zarrah.
He just loves it being soooo keen, fast and willing with the tendencies
to show off!!!! 
I looked forward to begin Agility again in Fall of 2006 however it did not
happen due to the Dog Show Schedule in both
the United States and Canada.
