Welcome to our website.  I hope you enjoy the pictures and are able to take some time and get to know the poodles at Minarets.

Minarets specializes in red and apricot standards.  We have puppies occasionally.  We have stud service available to approved bitches.  Our goal is to produce correct, healthy poodles who are able to bring joy to their families while they participate in a variety of activities. Our pups have been shown in breed, obedience, agility, and tracking.  Some have gone to hunting homes.  They have participated in visitations to nursing and retirement homes and obedience demos at schools.

Versitility in Poodles has the new activities booklet ready for sale.  Information can be found at www.vipoodle.org  There are contacts for  getting involved in activities from obedience, rally, tracking, herding, conformation, therapy, etc.  The groups that sponsor these activities are also listed.
The VIP website lists a great deal of information about poodles, their health issues, testing that is available, how to find a breeder who can help you find the right puppy.

What's New? 
My trip to PCA was awesome.  The show was fun....Race earned his first rally advanced leg.  The rest of the trip was fantastic.  The dogs enjoyed the trip and I was able to visit with most of my family and to see many places. 
While I was traveling the chickens hatched 5 new babies.  We have 7 baby goats with one more doe to kid.     The last doe had a boy and a girl, bringing our total of babies to 9.         
The dogs are training.  Zepher needs two more RAE legs to finish that title.  The pups from last year are begining to get out.  
 Gus finished the bathroom floor while I was gone.  Really nice.  Still more work to do on the house.
THE BIGGEST NEWS IS THAT WE HAVE THE LITTER FROM PALMARES HERE FOR A MONTH.  The pup were born on April 17.  There are 10 pups. I will put some pictures on the standard puppy page.  Janet and Robbie got home on June 30 and their pups are now back in Bandon.
ANBER gave birth to 6 females and 4 males on June 24th.  Race is the pround father. 
RACE finished his RA at the Ferndale CA show.

All puppies are sold with an agreement that their new family will socialize and train them.  Pet puppies are sold with an agreement that they will be neutered.  Show/breeding prospects are sold with an agreement that all the available testing will be done prior to breeding.  I expect to hear from my puppy buyers whether it is a report on how the pup is doing or if there is a problem of some kind.
