As promised I have included stacked photos of the pups.  They were all such good babies about the entire stressful events of the day.

Aptitude Testing Results are listed as well.  You can read about Volhard’s Puppy Aptitude Test here

I preformed this test when the pups were 7.5 weeks old, after they made a long car ride and spent the night at a new location.  The test was in a strange home and done by me.  I am not this litters breeder, nor did I raise them so I was a good option to perform the testing.  I now have the pups and are finding them homes, due to their breeder needing to move to Florida on short notice.  I loved the litter so much I am keeping a puppy for my own breeding program.

The names for each puppy represent their collar color or style at the time of testing.  Some collars have been changed as the puppies have grown.  The photos below show no collars, they had just been groomed.

Note:  I did reorder the test.  I have found that Standard Poodles do better when you put the ‘mean’ things near the end.  Otherwise they will simply decide not to play your game and wander off away from the test.  I also removed the touch testing, because well bred Standard Poodle puppies are taught from birth to trust people with their feet, due to grooming requirements.  I’m not going to pinch their toes to get a response.  Most will simply attempt to withstand all pain in order to follow the rules and hold still while their feet are touched.

UPDATE:  I have updated the order I had the puppies listed to show the available pups near the top.  Also each of the available pups now has a little more information, as I have been living with them for several weeks.  I have a good grasp of their strong points and things that might need work.  If you want to learn more about a puppy, please feel free to contact me for details.



 

PLAID- Male
**SOLD!**

UPDATED:  This boy is a loving lap puppy.  He has a little more prey drive than some of his littermates so he will need some training when it comes to chasing things.  I love this boys outlook on life.  Another wonderful puppy that will make a fun pet.

SILVER STRIPES – male
**SOLD!**

UPDATED: After living with this guy for a few weeks I can say he is not as in your face, “pet me now!” like his litter mates, but extremely sweet and loves to interact and learn.   Middle of the road temperament that is both easy to train and easy to live with.  One of the lower drive pups in the litter.

HUNTER – Male
**SOLD!**

UPDATED: This boy is a people dog.  Hunter is full of life and fun.    He is social, friendly, and lively.  A lovely boy who loves to give kisses and wants to be right up in your face.  He is always willing to give something new a try, even if he might doing it while he is talking!  A great option for an active family pet.  He has more prey drive than what he tested when he is in his comfort zone (around the house, with his litter mates) I would rate him a 2 on sight sensitivity.

SOCIAL ATTRACTION – 3   His tail was level with top line.  Neither up nor down.

PAWS – Male
**SOLD!**

Middle of the road puppy who is smart!  He is selective in his attention and a little independent, but seems to develop deep bonds to people in a short time.   He has a lot of depth to his personality and is already a thinker.  I’m probably going to fall in love with him.  I always fall for the thinkers!

PEACOCK – Male
**SOLD!**

A nice middle of the pack puppy.  With his aptitude testing scores, he would be safe to go to almost any home.  He is a little silly and so much fun.  He is neither high drive or low drive.   He relaxed completely when he was retrained, hoping for a good massage.  He is what I call a mushy puppy, totally trusting of people.  Very much a lap poodle!

PINKY – Female
**SOLD!**

This little lady is confident, but not pushy or dominate.  She is smart, beautiful, and sweet!  If she carries the brown gene, I’m probably going to keep her, even with her slightly straighter front.  If she doesn’t carry the brown gene, I might let her go as a pet.  Super puppy all around.

BONES – Male
**SOLD!**

You are looking at the leader of the pack here!  Thankfully he isn’t dominant, but he is active and extremely social!!  This boy is so fun!  Bones doesn’t know a stranger and insisted I spend the vast majority of my time cuddling, playing, talking to HIM!   He will be dedicated to his people and give you free tail wags!  I’d like him to go to a home interested in performance sports, but would also work for an active family who wants a fun dog.  With his attitude on life, he could do anything.  Really, this guy is loads of fun.
