Locating a Stud Dog

We've used dogs from Lemerle kennel the past couple of breedings. But Elaine has divested the kennel, and retired. So we began looking elsewhere for a suitable partner for Martha. We asked Terri Meyers for any leads, and she suggested a silver dog she was handling, BlackTie Myles To Go, from Black Tie Kennels.

We met Kyle at the Central Iowa Kennel Club show in mid-January at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. We found him to be quite complementary to Martha, and a very handsome and stately boy, with great poodle temperament.

So, after exchanging the appropriate testing results and documents, we and Kyle's owner reached an agreement to breed the two.

More about the testing in later posts.
