Breeding
for the Best
Canzone is Italian for “song.” We like the name for
many reasons, one being that our four standard poodles put songs in
our lives each day. Plus, one of us is an opera buff!
We are a family of two grown men, one college age nephew, and four
standard poodles. When Geoff and I first became a family in
1995, Geoff also came with two dogs, one a standard poodle named
Tucker. Ever since then, we loved the breed; we acquired Maggie
in 1998, Toni in 2006, Bella in 2007, and Trudy in 2008.
TURBO (Champion Avion Turbulence II), bred by Yvonne Hagman and
featured on the cover of the most recent Poodle Variety Stud Issue,
and BELLA (Champion Safari’s Bella Canzone Di Notte), will
produce our first litter of puppies. We anticipate having one
litter a year for each of the next several years in our small breeding
program for top quality companion and show dogs. Turbo (Black)
and Bella (Blue) will likely produce black, blue, and white puppies,
due March 14, 2010.
Our commitment is to total responsibility in breeding standards as
outlined in the ethics from Poodle Club of America. To get to
this point, we have had much mentoring and assistance from Dr. Cynthia
Huff of Safari Standard Poodles, Illinois, as we purchased both of our
breeding bitches from her. Our most recent bitch, Trudy, is her
118th American Champion! Cynthia has bred top quality standard poodles
on a solid record of pedigree and health for over 40 years.
We have two breeding Standard bitches:
BELLA (Champion Safari’s Bella Canzone Di Notte) who has cleared all
of the genetic related health checks, and
TRUDY (Champion Safari’s Canzone Di Veritas) who will be tested
after she turns two years old in May, 2010.
Total responsibility means we only breed healthy dogs with completely
cleared health checks—no compromise. We breed dogs with outstanding
temperaments who are confident, friendly, intelligent, and easily
trained. Please contact Jeff for any questions or for additional
information.
