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 left snowy and cold  Northern California January 28, 2010 and traveled to warm Phoenix, Arizona for a 2-day Dog show with the UKC at Cortez Park, January 30 and 31, 2010.

Our CH Rose won her first pass to her GRAND title and our little Dasha-Marquis Diamond RedRoc Rick Rack, AKA: RICKI won Best Puppy in SHOW NLC her first time in the ring at 3 months of age!

We also went to Chandler, AZ to the International Canine Semen Bank to pick up a tank with some very special breedings in Silver and Red.   More to come on that exciting endeavor in our 2010 What's New Scoop.

We spent a great weekend with friends from all over the Phoenix AZ area.   Fun was had by all!


Camelot at 13 Weeks with Master

The pup above is grandson of our Boulie, Deidra, and Tiara. He is Harmony Mountain bred from SR Titan, JH and Misty. At 13 weeks of age, he is doing quite well in service dog training with his new master, Cecilia. Here is what Cecilia's mom had to say:

"Just wanted to send a quick update.  Camelot is progressing amazingly well, we are all, including David (his service dog trainer), amazed at how quickly he is learning / adapting to his surroundings, stairs, the wheelchair, basic command of sit and go potty....  he retrieves everything, we're having to try and slow him down a little, he also has no issue with different textures etc in his mouth, including metal...he regularly tries to free my two dogs from their metal kennels when I have them put up so he has undistracted play time with Cecilia.... he is great and Cecilia is ecstatic, though tired.... she is being pushed as well...which is a good thing, but difficult. He sleeps with Cecilia, rests with Cecilia, and is very much aware of where she is, so the bonding has occurred naturally and easily."

 Grooming Seminar  Grooming Seminar 

In an attempt to stay on the top of our game, on February 7, 2009, a group of us attended an 8-hour Show Grooming Seminar for the Standard Poodle hosted by Michelle Shultz of MTS Standard Poodles in Livermore, CA (www.MTSPOODLES.COM).

Myself (Susan Cook), Donna Van Arkle, Cindy Paul, and Kathryn Gleason, along with our beloved Marquis Diamond Standard Poodles,  CH Boulie, CH Bella, and CH Monroe made a weekend endeavor out of our Seminar, hosted by Michelle Shultz of MTS Standard Poodles.   Cindy elected to work on Michelle's show dog, AM CH Tanque instead of bringing one of her kids! 

Michelle provided us with a grooming manual,  gave a wonderful Lecture the first half of our day and after lunch,  the second part of our training was a hands on groom-a-thon, learning specifically the "Poodle Show Puppy Clip."

Michelle critiqued our work, went over the show pictures we furnised her, sketching in how to "Make it Better" and just being the most gracious hostess and instuctor she could be.

 Grooming Seminar

What made the day alot of fun was the tour of her Kennels.  We took a picture with my Mom, Helen and Michelle's HUGE Fiberglass Standard Poodle, Tyler. 

The first time I saw Tyler was in the Poodle Variety Magazine some years ago, where Tyler was posing with Dorthy Matzner of d'Kamron Standard Poodles, Concord CA.  Dorthy bought "Tyler" from an Antique shop that was closing their doors and they featured the story. 

After Dorthy passed away in September 2008, Michelle was given the treasured heirloom and we saw it in the back of the classroom at the seminar.   We just had to pose him and take a picture of him.  What a small world it is.

Michelle does Specialty grooming and gives seminars for specifics on Show Grooming of the Poodle.  It is a wonderful experience and highly recomended for all poodle enthusiasts.

We ended our weekend by attending another show grooming lesson in Napa, CA for the Brittany.  Take a look at our girl Fanci on her very own PAGE!"

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.
