AKC
Breeder of Merit
Avalon Poodles are
located at Redrock Farm in rural southwestern Wisconsin. Our goals
have been to breed dogs that are sound in mind and body and lovely to
look at. Our main focus has always been to provide the best in family
companions, not only for ourselves, but for those who wish to share
their homes with one of our poodles.
We do extensive health testing on our breeding stock. My husband and
myself are both practicing veterinarians, so health care is our
passion and our livelihood. Our dogs are tested for hip dysplasia (OFA),
inherited eye diseases such as cataracts (CERF), an inherited skin
disorder known as Sebaceous Adenitis (SA), a bleeding disorder (VonWillebrand's
Disease-VWD), and blood tests to check for normal thyroid function,
kidney and liver disease and Addison's Disease. We do not knowingly
breed to dogs that produce either epilepsy or bloat. We offer a 5 year
health guarantee on all puppies that are placed.
Andrew, our son,
plays an integral part in the socialization of our puppies. He has the
entire litter chasing him and his friends as soon as they are on their
feet.
If you find yourself
in southwestern Wisconsin, please consider a visit. The dogs are
always up for company.....Mary
