About Shirley

I'm a veterinary Nurse and have been with the same practice in Port Macquarie for 24 years. I love my job and all things related to my furry friends. You can be assured of the care and attention in all aspects of animal husbandry.Our puppies are born in our home and reared in the home environment. My dogs share my life and love. We enjoy long off lead walks on the beach, socialising at local markets and restaurants and foreshore boardwalks. I fell in love with bi-coloured poodles many years ago and decided to try and preserve these original coloured poodles before they are lost in Australia. I've bred, shown and competed in Obedience and Agility for over 25 years and am a qualified Canine Council Obedience Instructor - Novice to U.D. I have run a Puppy Preschool at my clinic for 12 years. Developed and run entirely by me - I love setting these little ones up to succeed right from the start and enjoy teaching their owners how to raise confident, happy, well socialised and well trained young dogs. I am available to my new puppy owners to answer any questions about their new little Antiquity Poodle Puppy. I am happy to offer guidance and advice on all aspects of Puppy training and care.

 

 

Introduction to Antiquity Poodles

We live on 2.5 acres at Telegraph Point which is 20 minutes from Port Macquarie on the Mid North Coast of NSW. We are a small establishment committed to breeding sound, beautiful dogs - however our first priority is to breed puppies with fantastic temperaments - something that when you meet an Antiquity puppy you will appreciate right from the start. We have eight owners who now own a second puppy from us simply because life with the first little gem has been so great to live with - they wanted 2! Also one lovely couple have come back for their third!

We are not a breeding kennel as such - our dogs are our companions and live in our home with us.

Antiquity litters have included the occasional solid colour puppy, although more recently my interest has developed in retaining the original Phantom and Parti colored poodles. This was indeed the original colour and is making a huge impact overseas - mostly in Europe where bi-coloured poodles are allowed back in the show ring and are winning Best In Show. Our first bi colour litter was born in 2004 and we have been so delighted with the subsequent litters. These days our litters are almost 100% Parti or Phantom puppies. This is now our main aim as Australia has a very limited gene pool and I believe it would be an absolute shame to loose them here.

You are most welcome to telephone me on the mobile or email me with any questions. Owners are welcome and encouraged to contact me any time with questions, information or updates for life (we just love photos of the growing pups and adults).  If we can help in any way we will do so.


Upcoming Events

ULTRASOUND POSITIVE! we were able to view 4 to 5 puppies. Good heart beats and size. So we are looking forward to a lovely Parti Litter Due late May.

Colours in previous litter were: black and white, chocolate and white, Latte and white, apricot and white and sable and white, AND THAT WAS ALL IN THE SAME LITTER!
