About owning a Sapphire Poodle Puppy

---

We are so happy to occasionally have a few puppies to share with the world.

AKC and UKC registration available.

All puppies will be sold under limited AKC registration to approved pet homes at the price of $2000, unless co-own or other show homes are requested and approved.  Limited registration is provided after proof of spay/neuter by the age of 18 months. 

Co-own is a great way to get started showing poodles with minimal cost. Co-own price is $2500. Once you earn a champion title and two other performance titles, or a Grand Champion title, I sign full registration over to you. 

Price for full registration without co-ownership may be available to approved homes for $3500. 

UKC registration papers will be provided with full registration options. Or if you purchased your puppy with limited registration, I will provide UKC registration papers after proof of spay/neuter. You can still show in UKC conformation if your dog has been altered. It's a really great way to learn the ropes of showing poodles.

My Position on Doodling

I don't approve of intentionally breeding mixed breed dogs. Nothing against the dog itself - mixed breeds are great, I've owned and loved many as pets, but never bred them. The doodle thing is out of hand and everyone who wants to make a fast buck is mixing anything with a poodle. I don't understand why buyers will pay so much for a mixed breed dog. Especially since so many of them are based on the poodle attributes and advantages, yet cost more than a well bred, purebred poodle.  Years ago mixed breeds were given away free, but it seems to be the fad to overpay for "designer dogs" or "hybrids". There is nothing glamorous or special about mixing dog breeds. 

I do believe in supply and demand, so if the public wants mixed breed dogs then there will always be someone providing them,  but I prefer to have my line stay out of it. We've worked hard to prove our dogs to be excellent examples of the breed, so I do not want my puppies used for doodling of any sort (including merle). I will not knowingly sell a puppy to anyone who is producing mixed breeds. There are a lot of other breeders who will take your money, so I don't feel my position should cause a hardship for anyone. Thank you for understanding.
