Poodles of Colour 
What's New
We have posted some of our pictures from our puppy families as well as our friends and training partners to share with you.
These candids depict many of the successes we have had with our Poodle puppies as well as the dedicated families our poodles share their lives with.
The Standard Poodle is a very versatile companion and really craves human contact.
They make wonderful family pets and can also hunt in the field, float in the conformation ring, run an agility course, assist in assistance/therapy work, or just lay on the couch and be one's best friend.
We are very proud of the accomplishments our puppies have made and like to remain "In the know" with their current activities.
We often update this page when we get new pictures and have many more for review upon request.
Should you have any questions about our available PUPPIES, please review our puppy page or CONTACT us via telecom or Email.
We have been really busy this spring with dog shows and travel. We purchased a new Feather Light trailer and have been breaking it in going to dog shows from WA to AZ, and everywhere between.
The most recent trip to Enumclaw, Washington on May 31 and June 1, 2008 was at the best time of the bloom in Washington and there was beauty everywhere We took alot of pictures on the way and at our show set up at the Expo Center in Enumclaw, WA.
Special thanks to Suzie and Val for the help with our line up and handling. Suzie is an Eskie die hard and Valerie an American Pit Bull fanatic. Both caught on really fast with our poodles and their help was much appreciated! I captured some Eskie moments in the ring. The entries for the Eskies were the toughest we have seen at ANY show this year.
There was alot of Successful wins in our group and Fun was had by all!

Am/GR CH Antigua Don't Look Back |
We are very proud and honored to announce the newest addition to Marquis Standards: AM/GR CH Antigua Don't Look Back.
This handsome, young man comes to us from Dallas Texas. We will post additional info on Valentino as we complete his genetic testing. We are very proud to have Valentio in our lives and our hearts.
Stay tuned for Valentino's Updates!
On Friday, March 28, 2008, We drove to Sunny Phoenix, AZ to visit our extended Poodle family and bring home our AM CH Antigua Don't Look Back, aka Valentino.
Val was at Harmony Mountain Hunting Pudels for a hot date with a couple of beautiful poodle girls. We cannot wait to see those babies!
While we were at Harmony Mountain visiting Richard and Lori Horst, Heather Bryant of Absolutely Fabulous Mobile Grooming came to greet us and we had a grooming day for sure. We groomed several of our poodles (Valentino, Chloe, Cody and Bryce) and cut them into fancy clips. The pictures above show the progression of a Mobile Grooming session with our boy Val, by Heather.
Val was bathed, water extracted from his coat, dried, brushed and scissored to an expert finish as shown in these photos. Heather Bryant also raises and shows Miniature and Standard Poodles under her kennel name of Prodigy Poodles.
Heather is quite and expert when it comes to the grooming and show presentation of the Poodle breed. We appreciate all her help and guidance with our new found passion. The weekend was great and the company was better.
Valentino is home with us now at Marquis Diamond Standard Poodles and we are very pleased with this lovely boy!

Their Momma, Wendy, does all of their grooming herself. Wendy is self-taught and is really doing quite well at it! Bill, Wendy and Jack came to California in 2006 for a vacation, and to visit our poodle family. Jack is so well-versed in his verbal commands, we were AMAZED at the ability he had to learn with Momma Wendy in their obedience endeavors. Jack has done so well that he received his first two novice titles in agility November 2007 in Spring Grove, Illinois: Novice Agility (NA) and Jumpers w/Weave Novice Agility (NAJ). Jack and Victor are both trained and completely loved.

Many people ask about the temperaments of our poodles at Marquis Diamond Kennels. Most of our puppies are in companion homes and live much better lives than we could wish for.
We receive emails and cards from all over, celebrating the lives our puppy families share with their Marquis Diamond Standard Poodles. The temperaments of our poodles must be right or we would not have received the positive responses that we have over the years.
We have picked out some of the more colorful cards to share with you. We have references for your consideration, available upon request.
