OUR DOGS
Currently our family includes five Standard Poodles and one Toy Poodle. Find out more about them below.
L'eau
(Somatern Dana at Viadua)
L'eau is my first Standard Poodle. Very driven, incredibly intelligent and always super sharp. She had a brief career as a show dog when she was a puppy, but it was apparent she did not have the patience for the show ring.
She is currently my best picking up dog and absolutely loves working in water. She is fast, great at marking and has an incredible nose.
In November 2021 L'eau produced our first litter of 8 beautiful Standard Poodle puppies with the stunning German stud Multi Int. Ch Glamour Boy vom Strahlended Sternchen.
She also produced a beautiful litter of 12 in August 2024 with our lovely homebred boy Lux Ch Viadua Monstro the Maneater.
L'eau is fully health tested.

Breagh
(Fiorghlan's Briar Rose at Viadua)
Breagh came to me at 20 weeks old having had a rough start in life. It took a long time to rehabilitate her but she is now a confident girl who enjoys showing and working in the beating line during the season.
She is my most reliable picking up team member, Breagh works both in the beating line and in the picking up team. She will cross any obstacle to retrieve that bird.
She has enjoyed a successful showing career earning several Best Special Beginner in Breed titles as well as qualifying and attending Crufts 2022.
Breagh is fully health tested.

Pilvi
(Fiorghlan's Heart of Gretel at Viadua)
Pilvi, a littermate sister to Breagh, she arrived with me in October 2020. She had quite an ordeal being returned to her breeder through a pet courier who managed to lose her in the Scottish Highlands for 3 days.
With love and training she has made a full recovery, she is an incredibly social and loving dog, she is everyones best friend human or animal.
She started her showing career at the end of 2021 and qualified for Crufts 2022 at her first show. She also qualified for Crufts 2023.
She has produced a stunning litter of puppies with a stud dog from Switzerland in January 2024.
Pilvi is fully health tested.

Tefiti aka. Tefi
(Viadua Tamatoa's Treasure)
Tefi is my homebred keeper pup from the May 2022 litter (Dam: Fiorghlan's Briar Rose at Viadua Sire: Multi Ch Afterglow Wolfbane at Blackmine JW)
The 'baby' of the household, even as a fully grown adult she's very much holding onto her bab status. She's funny, cheeky and full of personality. There's nothing quite like a cuddle from Tefi.
She's an internationally winning, multi Crufts award winning and Best In Show winning show dog.
She is also part of our picking up team, bold and fast across the field, she picks up even the most difficult runners.

Roux
Roux is my Toy Poodle. She is mainly a pet who enjoys a bit of agility as well as beating during the season.
Roux is incredibly smart and driven and takes to new jobs quickly and with enthusiasm.
She is not health tested but she will not be bred from as she has been neutered.
