Contact us: brownpoodles@yahoo.com




Browns have a reputation of being the "clowns" of the Standard Poodle.
But we have found all poodles love to "entertain" their owners.
We have found our browns are laid back, kind and loving and yes they love to be silly
if you are in the mood for a chase or to play with them.
Other than this play time, our browns like to cuddle on the couch watching a movie with you.
I should say "ontop" of you on the couch.

Our Quest for brown was a long one. We bought and re-sold many in our search
for a dark brown that was calm and laid back that would produce puppies we would
be proud of and know that we could in good faith place in pet, obedience and therapy homes.
There was no way I would produce unhealthy or hyper brown poodles so our standards were very high.
This cost us financially and emotionally and took many years.
I could not find browns like what I wanted so I waited and kept searching for over 5 years.


"Nikki" and "Fegol" along with their litter containing "Cocoa"

I finally decided to bred my black female Nikki to a black male that I had bred a few years before named Fergol.
I knew the temperaments would be AMAZING. However...
the resulting litter of Standard Poodles contained a weird colour.

I tried towel drying it and towel drying this funny coloured poodle before realizing
that it was dry and it was a BROWN !
Using my cat colour genetic knowledge I knew that I had a 1 in 4 chance of producing browns and I did it.


Cocoa

K-Lars Hot Cocoa, CD was born. I had always wanted to breed rare brown and red coloured Poodles
but had heard horror stories about how vicious and hyper red and brown poodles were.
Cocoa was a very calm poodle. I repeated the breeding several more times and produced some amazing browns.
My dream of owning a brown standard poodle was fulfilled. The following year I was contacted by VetGen Labs about contribuing DNA from my brown poodles
to establish the brown gene for DNA.
This would help breeders determine if a poodle "carried" the brown gene
which we were only to happy to partake in.
Today thanks to us and other breeder's contribution of DNA Vetgen Lab is now able to DNA test a Poodle
to verify if it is carrying recessive colours.

Over the 17 years I have purchased a few brown standard poodles from many VERY well known kennels
in the USA in my pursuit of finding a perfect stud for Cocoa and for my brown program.
Unfortunately I have been disappointed by all of them.
A good looking Brown Puppy I bought from Gettysburg, PA was so hyper and skiddish acting I could not keep her
and one VERY good looking brown male from Tampa, Florida even attacked and killed a young litter of 6 week old puppies.
In one other case, I finally got a Standard Poodle Male from Weatherford, Texas who had the perfect temperament and he
turned silver at 9 months of age everywhere except his ears and tail.

After a few expensive investments later I finally just decided to breed and keep my own male

K-LAR'S HERSHEY WINS AGAIN
who is still a deep dark brown but also has the calm, loving, confident nature
that we have become so world famous and sought after for.
Thankfully I finally bought into the "computer craze" and now we are able
to feature our amazing poodles on our web page for you to see and decide
for yourself if we have the kind of brown standard poodle puppy you would like to add to your home.
