All of our January 26th, 2008 puppies are in
their homes and spreading lots of poodle love. Thank you everyone.
We do plan on breeding our lovely Promise
this May and are looking forward to a very exciting all black
litter. We have started a waiting list and serious inquiries for
show, performance and companion pups are invited.
In the meantime, enjoy the photos below and those on
www.arisstandardpoodles.piczo.com and watch the pups with their
families.
Aris poodles are well worth waiting for. However, if you simply must
have a pup now don’t hesitate to contact me. I’ll do what I can to
put you in touch with a reputable breeder.

Aris Standard Poodles are
happy, healthy, outgoing beautiful companions. By the time they go to their new
homes they are experienced in being around other pets, strangers, children and
eager for new adventures. Nothing fazes our puppies. They happily walk on a
leash , have begun crate training and been regularly groomed since they were 4
weeks old. Aris poodles love to go for car rides. They are handled, cuddled and
loved from birth
Since babyhood they have heard CDs and tapes of rain, thunderstorms, lightening,
cars, trucks, bells, whistles, gunshots, fire works, and anything else you can
imagine. Noises don't bother them. Once they're old enough outings in the yard
with mama and littermates are taken. Additionally, each puppy also gets
individual time with us to ensure a confident outgoing puppy. Watching and
guiding the babies to explore and master their new world is very special.
We do Early Neurological Bio-Sensor/Super Dogs exercises. This program was
initially developed by the U.S. Military for training K-9 unit dogs. It was
called the Bio-Sensor or Super Dog program. It is a series of simple tactile
exercises performed once daily for a few seconds on puppies age 3 days to 16
days. Studies showed that these exercises increased intelligence and
neurological development in test group puppies. Their eyes opened sooner, their
senses were advanced compared to other puppies of that age group that had not
had the exercises executed and they were much better able to cope with stress
throughout their entire lives. Puppies are sold on spay/neuter contracts except
by special agreement.
When planning a litter I
carefully research pedigrees using information available online and drawing on
the wealth of information available from my wonderful mentors and other
knowledgeable individuals. I am careful to look not just at the health record of
the specific poodle I'm interested in, but to also research the family of
poodles. Health, structure and temperament of a puppy isn't just dependent on
the sire and dam - anytime you breed you are breeding to the genes of their
families. Merely because a breeder says their poodles are clear on tests doesn't
cover it all. They may not be telling you that close relatives have themselves
produced various issues or be sick. And, unfortunately, many breeders test their
poodles just once and rarely, if ever, update those tests. My poodles have hip
x-rays and are rated by OFA, www.offa.org . Their eyes are checked and regularly
updated by a CERF certified veterinary ophthalmologist, Diplomate of ACVO, and
are clear by DNA testing or parentage for vonWillebrand's Disease. Skin punch
biopsies are done to screen for Sebaceous Adenitis (SA). Bloodwork is done and
certified by an OFA approved laboratory to be sure that the thyroid function is
normal, that all other blood values are normal.

We are extremely careful about choosing homes for our puppies. We brought these
wonderful loving trusting creatures into the world. And we have a commitment and
responsibility to them. Every puppy is entitled to a long, happy, safe, and
healthy life with a loving family. So please do not be offended when we
interview you in depth both orally and in person. We do this because we care so
much about our poodles, not because we don't trust you. We assume that because
you have come to Aris Poodles, you want a puppy bred and raised by someone who
truly cares and isn't simply looking to find a home and take a check. We also
assume that because you are looking for a lifelong family member, you will have
many questions for us- and you should. Please ask for as much information and as
many questions as you can think of. Visits are welcomed and except in very
special situations, required before bringing an Aris puppy home.
Please contact us if you are interested in learning more about having an Aris
Standard Poodle of your own.

JUST A PET
"We only want a pet" This phrase is heard so often.
I think what most people do not understand is that "just a pet" has to be as
close as possible to the written breed standard as the show dog. The most
important thing that makes a good pet is over all good health. This includes
mental health (good temperament and personality) as well as physical health. For
good physical health a puppy needs a strong immune system. Proper structure and
movement are also necessary so the bones and joints do not develop problems
later in life (such as Hip Dysplasia or loose Patellas).
"Just a pet" should be the dogs in a well bred healthy litter that may have
minor faults in structure that are strictly of cosmetic value.
Perhaps a slightly rounder eye than desired in the breed ring, or a tail carried
slightly lower or higher than perfect. It may be a personality conflict since
sometimes the most perfectly structured and moving dog just does not have that
moving out strut your stuff look at me aren't I beautiful attitude needed for
the "show dog" to be truly competitive, yet is the ideal mellow pup to be the
perfect family companion.
"Just a pet" should not be a dog of inferior breeding, poor conformation, poorly
raised or of bad temperament, but should be as well bred, socialized, properly
fed & carefully nurtured as the finest show dog to give you the best possible
family companion. We do not breed dogs specifically to show, We breed beautiful
healthy dogs for you to enjoy as family companions, obedience, rally & agility
competitors and to work with as therapy dogs. We do the best we can to provide
the healthiest dogs possible, both mentally and physically. for those of you who
want "just a pet".
