Some Reminiscences | ||
The Quartzo Kennel came into existence in 1975 with our first show standard poodle although I have owned a standard poodle since the age of one year! My family were living in Dusseldorf, West Germany at the end of the second world war and my parents bought a black standard poodle puppy for my birthday.  Owner and younger brother with 'Punch' on a north German beach He came home to Britain with us in 1950 and we were never without one afterwards. On marriage, (my husband’s family had miniatures and toys), it was not long before we acquired our first standard. He was a 'rescue' with Leighbridge breeding behind him and was the most gentle and loving dog with our new baby son. When we lost him and went looking for a replacement we were offered a show puppy and were hooked in short order when we started showing at the Northumbria Poodle Club. We had lots of encouragement and help from those early members and have never looked back since. Although we have concentrated on black bred blacks, I have always had a soft spot for the beautiful creams and our last one, Quartzo Foxlite, travelled as a veteran to South Africa and France when my husband’s work took us abroad. I judged my first poodles in 1983, and am now passed to award Challenge Certificates. Some of our successful dogs are pictured below so take a look at some poodle history. Currently we are showing in France as well as the UK and have made up the first British owned and bred standard poodle French Champion. |
