Welcome! In addition to our wonderful Mountain Horses, we are crazy
about Poodles! Standard Poodles, that is. They are great ranch dogs, great
family dogs and wonderful all-around companions, but only if you like lots
of love and great intelligence.
"Tia", Valentino's Ti
Amore, was our first Standard Poodle. Bert’s family had once had a Standard
Poodle, so when we decided to get a dog, naturally that was what we had to
have. Tia sold Paula on the breed immediately.
 Tia is a wonderful
friend and teacher for our new additions.
The Next Generation
On October 1,
2003, Ch. Todd's Blue Iris of Antiphon (by Ch. Kaylen's Cadillac Style)
whelped two puppies from the last live breeding by Ch. King's Champagne
Taste, producer of more champion offspring than any other Poodle of
any variety. It was a repeat breeding for Iris, and as breeder Karen
Csutoras of Obsidian Poodles had kept puppies from the prior breeding, she
allowed us to purchase both of these outstanding prospects.
They already knew
the call names Karen chose for them-Adam and Eve.
Adam 
Ch. Obsidian Champagne Event ("Adam") was first to be shown. We will be forever spoiled
with the performance of this spectacular young dog. He finished his
championship at ten months of age, and in the next month was shown as a
puppy special, winning three Best of Variety and a group placement.
He totaled four four-point majors, multiple Best of Winners and Best of
Variety, Best Puppy in Show and group placement, all before one year of
age.
Handler Betty
Brown and her staff at Donnchada have done a superb job with Adam.
Adam is a wonderful
combination of the best of his famous sire and his champion dam. He has
fabulous, exciting, up-headed movement, great coat and all of the
conformational requirements of a great Standard. Perhaps his most
spectacular attribute is his headpiece. Adam has the cleanest backskull and simply the most beautiful head of any dog we have ever seen,
and we keep looking. Adam is a square dog with serious bone,
muscling, ribs and chest. Finally, his personality is the best – playful
and intelligent, loyal and devoted.
We were truly lucky to find a dog of this caliber. Adam has had complete
genetic testing (all normal, negative) and OFA films (rating “good”). His color testing shows he is
homozygous dominant black. He is available for breeding by live
cover or shipped fresh or frozen semen.
Adam is now home
and loves living on the ranch. He can run at top speed for hours. He
is a happy dog!
"Eva" - Ch.
Obsidian Special Event
Adam's littermate is
"Eva", a sturdy yet completely feminine girl with exuberant
personality and sparkling intelligence. Eva owns the ranch and all
the animals and humans on it! Poodles as a rule are smart, but
this girl takes canine intelligence to another level. There are lots
of "Eva" stories!
Eva finished her
championship with a four point major in Denver on February 20, 2006,
against stiff competition. She is now at home with all of her genetic
testing completed (all normal and OFA rating "good").
Eva is
compact and stylish. Eva shares her brother's up-headed, long-strided
movement and showy, "look at me" ring carriage. She also has that
gorgeous face and headpiece.
Eva is registered
as a blue; some say she is now silver, but in actual color she is a
beautiful gray.
 Eva is pure joy.
Our new girl - Obsidian Ardent Surprise -- "Libby"
----- Watch for puppies next
spring!!
 Ch.D'Kamron Klassic Kosmo X
Obsidian Canisy Its My Life
We are excited
with our new black girl that is a great mate for Adam!
"Libby" has a spectacular head, long neck and legs, elegant
bearing, fluid movement, beautiful feet, and sterling pedigree.
(Libby's sire "Kosmo" has been bred to her aunt (dam's sire's
full sister) producing a multiple best of show winner.) Libby and
Adam are a perfect match by pedigree and type. Watch for more news !
While Libby prepares to become a mom and Eva and Tia rule the household, Adam has
learned to be a ranch dog and shows astonishing athleticism and
stamina. He can tirelessly cover 50 acres at lightning speed. He is simply the most
beautiful Standard we have ever seen, and has been completely healthy all of
his life. He is available for breeding to approved bitches.
 
Adam
at one year, and today at home.
