Sabrina is simply the dog that everyone wishes they had. Besides being a great show and performance dog, she is a world class companion. Sabrina is as much at home hiking and camping as she is sitting beautifully at our feet while we drink coffee in an outdoor cafe. Sabrina can keep up with the horses for hours and is happy to retrieve bumpers out of the lake until our arms wear out. Yet, she is calm and quiet in the house. Sabrina is a true ambassador for the breed and she is welcomed by all where ever she goes.
CH Beauvoir's Swing on a Star CDX (CH Apricotgold Stormy Cup of Dreams X CH Be Gracious Say Gnight Gracy CD)
Born January 26, 2009 Died of sepsis 2019. Never forgotten spayed and retired 22.5" tall and 42lbs certified Reading Therapy dog
Delilah is from our Gracy/Starbuck litter. She is a Cafe au Lait Standard Poodle. Born Brown, this color quickly "clears" to a shimmery, mink/taupe color that in some ways is reminiscent of the color of a Weimaraner. While super stylish in her full show coat, Delilah is an outdoorsy girl who loves to go hiking and camping and she is always up for a good game of Frisbee. She makes quite a splash when we go out in public because not very many people have seen a Brown or Cafe Poodle before.
Delilah was very successful in the show ring. She finished her AKC Championship with 3 Best of Variety wins out of the classes over multiple Specials. After taking a break in 2012 to have puppies, Delilah is back in the ring competing in Obedience. She earned her Open Obedience title (CDX) with all 1st place finishes and she is currently training for Utility. Delilah rounds out her schedule working as a Reading Therapy dog for Paws 4 Responsibility. She works in libraries and schools to help reluctant readers overcome their fears and blocks to reading.
CH Be Gracious Say Gnight Gracy CD (CH Espree Terra Firma X CH Diva Du Jour)
Born October 19, 2002 Died 2017 Good and faithful friend to the end spayed and retired 23" tall and 42lbs
Gracy is an AKC Breed Champion. I co-own her with my friend Kathy Berman (KB). KB has Parkinson's Disease and Gracy lives with KB full time. Gracy has been a loving and faithful friend during this difficult time in KB's life. Besides being a show dog, Gracy is an all-around great companion. Although she has lived a fairly insular life as KB's housemate, Gracy has no fear/aggression issues, she loves men, she is completely reliable around children and she is good with other dogs. She has that naturally good temperament that is so important in a family pet.
On November 8, 2008, Gracy completed her Novice Obedience Title. We are all very proud of her!
