BROWN STANDARD POODLES:
Physically: They range from 24"-28" and 45lbs-85lbs.
Our Browns tend to range in size really depending on the parents
Our Browns tend to be more "course" than what you would typically see at a dog show and for sure
have loads more muscle and boning than the average chicken boned poodle you may meet.
Our Brown poodles are DARK brown. This is very difficult to have achieved and took years.
Our pups "may" get a sprinkle of grey hairs through their coat when they get older and may even lighten
on their muzzle or tail area when they age. There really is no guarantee on colour even though we do
DNA test to ensure our poodles do not carry the fading gene.

Temperament : Our Browns are sweet natured and calm.
All our poodles have calm laid back temperament. NO hyper pacing or barking.
Our Browns love to be with you in the same room or on the couch beside you cuddling during a movie.
I use my browns as my jogging partners as they are taller and longer limbed able to do 6km with me
without any stress or strain and they actually look forward to it and enjoy the activity.
Browns and all poodles will actually do any activity that pleases you as that is just the breed's nature.
Over the years I have done Tracking (ALL dogs love this sport), Schutzhund, Obedience, Rally, Pet therapy,
and Agility with my poodles and all performed well.
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.
Our poodles enjoy doing anything that their owners do, because it means they spend time together.

Our Story of starting in Brown Standard Poodles
(Raven x Beau brown boys 2008)
Our Quest for brown was a long one. We bought and re-homed 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 to own or produce, 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 a well known kennel in Gettysburg, PA
was so hyper and skiddish acting I could not keep her
and one VERY good looking brown male solid champion Pedigree from one of the most famous brown kennels in Tampa, Florida
even broke into and 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.
........
Example of a brown that silvered........ example of a light brown milk chocolate colour
(We are not using Browns that turn Silver in our program)
...
(photos lightened to show the grey hairs)
Darkest of browns may still get grey hairs through the coat,
but the overall appearance of a brown should be that of a brown coat
it is still very difficult to produce a bown with a clear brown coat
After a few expensive investments later I finally just decided to breed and keep my own male
Champion - K-Lar's Hershey Wins Again
(Pictured at 8 years of age)
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.
