APAW's Utpala at ThdRn

Uma is first and foremost a family dog.  She is fantastic with children and other pets, and her temperament was the right match for what I was looking for in a family dog.  She is our up and coming young poodle, whelped on 21Nov23, so it will be some time before we consider breeding her.  Right now she runs the grounds and gardens, watching over the chickens and children.  Uma shows aptitude for barn hunt and will receive training in this area as her selected sport.  She likes water, but has not had the opportunity to swim. 

Uma is an inter variety breeding and will remain under 20 inches.  She is blue with color tests pending.  She is clear by parentage of CDDY, and both parents are highly tested and registered with OFA.  Additional tests pending age.
