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. His
movement is exciting - up-headed, charismatic, driving, with extreme
side gait. He has a fantastic, thick, hard coat, and is
short backed with a good tail set. One of his most
spectacular attributes 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 has 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
at one year, and today at home. Adam is now a
happy 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.
"Eva" - Ch.
Obsidian Special Event
Adam's littermate is
"Eva", a sturdy yet completely feminine girl with exuberant
personality and sparkling intelligence. Poodles as a rule are smart, but
this girl takes canine intelligence to another level. There are lots
of "Eva" stories!
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 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 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 early
May, 2010!!
 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, backskull and eyes, long neck and
even longer legs, elegant
bearing, fluid movement, beautiful feet, and sterling pedigree.
(Libby's sire "Kosmo" bred to Libby's aunt (dam's sire's
full sister) has produced a multiple best of show winner.)
Libby and Adam are a perfect match by pedigree and type, and we are
expecting a show quality litter.
Libby and Adam have completed their tests for SA, thyroid, Von
Willibrands, hips and eyes. The litter will be all black.
Show and companion contracts should be available. Please
