"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely
in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside
thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming
'Wow! What a ride!!!'" Author unknown

Here's our Soliel!

Soliel (HFalutin Teknicolor Dreamcoat) was the first BRINDLE and White Parti accepted,
and registered as such, with AKC! This was a huge step in getting AKC to recognize the color
variations in the Partis. It was alot of work over many months, and I am very hopeful that
future breeders/owners will benefit from this groundwork. Sadly, despite all of my hopes
and aspirations for her, she did not pass her testing to the level I would want, and was spayed.
Soliel is now living the high life, spending her time between Palm Springs (winter) and Marina
Del Mar (summer), with a couple who has quickly become like family. Spoiled rotten,
as she deserves. She visits often.

Roxie!

Roxie is our red mismark poodle.

I had such high hopes for our future with Roxie (Hfalutin Crimson Cameo), Reds and Partis!
It was a big lesson for me, seeing how poorly her testing results would turn out. She only
passed ONE of the important health tests and I had no choice but to spay her. However,
she is so welcome to live here, being the very best snuggler at night! I cannot
imagine a night without her. .

What is she thinkin'??!!
