Thank you for your interest in Canzone Standard Poodles.

Lucy (Am Ch Canzone Danfour Lucia) was recently bred to Walnut, (Am Grand Champion Raventree’s What About Second Breakfast). Unfortunately, the ultrasound exam showed no puppies for this winter, 2024.

We plan on breeding again for a possible litter next spring, 2025.

As always, please call me with any questions, or just to visit about Poodles.

Socialization

When our puppies are about five weeks old, they are moved with their dam to the kitchen area at the center of our home. This is where many other dogs stay and play, and where many different people come to interact with them. All of our eight adult Poodles live in our home with us as part of our family.

In addition, the puppies are exposed to many different home items (vacuum cleaners, umbrellas, stereo music, food processors, sliding doors, etc.) and grooming tools (hair dryers, brushes, spray bottles, etc.) They are given a variety of objects and dog toys for their learning and fun throughout their development. And of course, they play with their litter mates much of their awake time.

We keep our pups until they are nine weeks old so they have the very best start in their new, permanent homes. In addition to being well-socialized, the puppies are well fed and in good weight, veterinarian checked, vaccinated appropriate to age, and groomed. They are clean, healthy, and parasite free. The puppies have been introduced to crate, potty, and lead training, and they come with a health guarantee from genetic issues sometimes found in Poodles.

Walnut lives with his breeder and owners in Eugene, Oregon. He was shown primarily by one of his breeders, Sarah, who did exceptionally well in limited showing as Walnut finished both his Am Championship and Grand Championship in lightening speed. He also excelled in the Owner Handler competitions, most often winning his Non-sporting group.

For temperament, Walnut is quite simply, a fun dog with a great sense of humor! He loves people, other dogs, and especially, his sister Pepper and the rest of his family. Walnut is confident in public, yet pretty mellow in the house. He has been easy to train, wanting to please his human parents, including in the show ring. Walnut is biddable, showy, easy to live with, and just an all around nice Poodle.

Walnut has a lovely, thick black coat that is turning blue (so far, a lighter black color). His structure is square and of modest bone and body. He has dark pigment, dark brown eyes set on an expressive face. Walnut exceeds the criteria for the breed as defined by the Poodle Club of America where he placed second in a very competitive class this past April. He weighs about 53 pounds and about 26 inches tall at the withers.

Walnut has met the Poodle Club of America recommendations for health testing:

Eyes: Normal (July 30, 2024)
Hips: OFA Preliminary Good; Penn Hip scores in the above average range for Poodles
Thyroid: Normal
Basic Cardiac: Normal

Canine Health Number #199678 (verified on the OFA site)

Lucy is a fourth generation Canzone Poodle bred by Daniel Chavez, Jeff Smith and Geoff Hunnicutt. Lucy finished her American Championship in lightning speed as a puppy over two weekends, including a Group 1 win and two Best of Varieties over Specials, shown by Daniel Chavez.

Lucy lives with us in our home as one of eight Standard Poodles, most from our breeding of Poodles since 2010.  Cream in color, Lucy is square, up on her legs, upright in her carriage, and light on her feet with tail held at noon as she moves gracefully on the move.  She has a lovely head and face with dark almond eyes.  Lucy is about 25 inches tall at the withers, and weighs 55 pounds.

Lucy is confident, friendly with all people, affectionate with her owners, and playful with several fellow Poodles at our home.  She loves attending the neighborhood happy hour each week with many other friends.
