UCH URO1 Independence Poodles' Born To Shine DJ BCAT CGC TKN (CHIC# 195299)

Our beautiful phantom girl is a dream with the loveliest temperament, and the willingness & versatility to do anything she's asked. Gemma loves everyone she meets, is a master level cuddler, and is a natural athlete. She's one run from her CA title & hopes to do weight pull in fall of 2024. Many of her siblings have gone on to compete in a variety of sports, do service work, & be incredible companions.  I expect Gemma to pass on these amazing characteristics to her first litter, planned for late 2024/early 2025. Gemma is loved and cared for by the Zelaya family. 

UCH Independence Poodles' Lady of Light

A second generation IP puppy, Arwen has always had a special place in my heart as the daughter of two of my very favorites, Ava & Aja. This girl has always been naturally in tune with people, she picked up medical alerting without professional training, and could easily have gone down the service dog path.  She finished her Championship completely handled by her guardian mom, Brie, and finished with several big wins in just two weekends. She's now on to finishing up her BCAT & has hopes of scent work training.  Arwen passed her OFA Hips (excellent!), elbows, cardiac, & patellas in November 2024. Health testing will be completed in 2025. 

Independence Poodles' Chantilly Rose

After a 15 month break between standard poodle litters, we were so excited when this pretty red girl arrived in May 2024. By 4 weeks old she already had a presence that couldn't be ignored. Just like her daddy, Simon, Tillie is so incredibly easy going and well mannered & has settled in quickly with the Whitmire family and her mom, Ava. We plan to hit the show ring with this girl and her guardian family also plans to do coursing and scent work. 

Phoebe The Fantastic of Independence BCAT (CHIC# 199190)

Our first every parti mini, Phoebe has a beautiful flashy coat & big smile to match. She came home right at the height of the pandemic, so we didn't get her in the show ring as we had hoped. She absolutely loves to run, whether it be after her sisters in the backyard or at FastCAT.  She completed her health testing (with excellent hips!) in summer 2024 & we hope to welcome her first litter in 2025. Phoebe is loved and cared for by the Whitmire family. 

UCH NE NI NC Independence Poodles' Electric Boots SCN SIN SBN TKN

Little sis to Karma & Haiku, we always say Benny is the brightest of the bunch.  Way too smart for her own good, this girly can pick up anything new in minutes. She earned 6 scent work Q's at her first trial at just 6 months old, & finished her UKC show Championship at 8 months old. The future is so bright for this spicy red head. Benny is loved and cared for by the Beavan family. 

Independence Poodles' Vibe Like That DN SIN TKN

Karma aka Miss Independence runs the show here at IP. She may be small, but she runs, plays & keeps these standards on their toes at all times. Always up for a road trip, this girlie loves to go to training classes and meet new people & dogs. She earned her first AKC Scent Work title at 6 months & 2 days old, qualifying in her first 4 searches. She earned her first NADD dock diving title in September of 2024, & we hope to try rally in 2025. 

Independence Poodles' Sprinkled With Sugar

The smallest mini in our program, this fiery red head is full of personality.  She ran into the water at her very first dock lesson at just 12 weeks old and hasn't slowed down since. She's very quick to pick up on new things, has never met a stranger, and prefers to bounce through life. In addition to working on dock titles, Churro will soon be headed into the UKC ring & may try out AKC in 2025 as well. She is loved and cared for by the Andrle family.
