Meet Our Dog Family!
We only have a few dogs living inside our home. We have four canine family members who live with us full time: the Poodles Nova, Mia and Schatzi, and Ziggy our German Shorthair Pointer. By only having a few dogs in our home, we can avoid having a kennel setting and feel that we are able to give each dog the attention and love they need in a one-on-one basis.
Scroll below to see our canine companions. Health testing results can be found below each dog's information.
Yes, we do genetic health testing and screen our parent dogs for genetic diseases and disorders, via OFA and other independent labs. Our dogs are also seen by our licensed Veterinarian at least twice a year and are cleared for breeding.
Canine genetic health testing is very important to us. and we do it to ensure that your puppy is set up for upmost health, genetically speaking. Without testing, we feel that we would be gambling with your dogs potential future health outcome and potentially hurt your family in the process if something life threatening were to come up down the road. We test all our dogs through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, or OFA, as well as Embark DNA, prior to breeding.

"Schatzi"
22.5" at the shoulder, and still maturing
45lbs
Blue
Schatzi, whose name in German is a term of adornment meaning Little Treasure, is all what her name suggests! She is outgoing, confident, bubbly, energetic, loud, fun and adventurous. We are so excited for her future.
She has excellent extension and movement, paired with gorgeous structure. She loves the water and is extremely smart and loyal. She has moderate prey drive and loves to play a good game of chase with her pack. We have high hopes of some Dock Diving, FAST CAT, therapy, scent work, rally and eventually obedience titles in her near future, aside from conformation (she is already pointed and continuing her show career). She earned her ATT (AKC Temperament Test) at under two years old, her FTN (novice fetch) title at a year old, and now her CGC, CGCA, and CGCU (Canine Good Citizen, Advanced and Urban) titles at under two years as well!

"NOVA"

Blue
Nova, whose name means "New Star" is our spunky and charismatic girl. She is a beautiful girl with "ups" like no other. She can literally jump 4-6' high starting flat footed, all four on the ground. She is a third generation pup of ours. Nova has endless energy and our kids adore her because she is always up for a game of chase and water play.
Nova has an amazing nose on her and now has her Beginner Scent Work title. We also hope to compete in FastCAT with her. We are hopeful that she will be just like her grandmother Stella and aunt Mia, and give us incredibly smart, driven and sound babies one day.

Liver Roan, patched and ticked
Ziggy is an incredibly driven and energetic German Shorthaired Pointer. She is loving, wild, outgoing, adventurous, very mischievous, and fun!
She is still young but has already hit the conformation ring and did very well her first weekend competing. We will continue to show her to her AKC Championship and beyond. We have high hopes of field work as well as goals of gaining titles in Scent Work, FAST CAT, Rally, and the list goes on!
Ziggy's Health Testing- coming soon...
Dance the Night Away in Pleasant Valley CGC TKN VSWB TDI
"MIA"
21.5" at the shoulder
40lbs
Blue
Mia is out of our own Stella and an outside male we used for her litter named Apollo. She is energetic with high drive and tons of energy but knows when to settle down. She knows no stranger and although she is a smaller built girl, she is fearless and ready to go. Her size, if in Europe, would make her of the Moyen variety.
Mia's favorite pastimes include chasing any and every blowing leaf in the yard. She easily gained her Canine Good Citizen (CGC) and passed her Therapy Dog Exam and Evaluation with passing colors. She holds both titles with the AKC.
Mia is a fabulously fun and spunky girl and we love that her puppies seem to inherit her love of life attitude.

GCH Stetson Falcon of Piedmont
"STETSON"
25" at the shoulder
55lbs
Black
Stetson is not owned by Agape'. He is owned by Falcon Fire Ranch Standard Poodles. He is a gorgeous boy with incredible extension and drive in his movement. He has grace and commandeers the room when he enters. Stetson is a super happy guy who wants nothing more than to make his owner happy and seeks every opportunity to do so. He has moderate drive and an incredible intelligence to him, making him a wonderful choice for our girls. He is actually Schatzi's dad and proved to pass on his incredible traits to his offspring in not only her but her littermates as well.
Stetson comes from some really nice head turners including AM CH, SE CH PIEDMONT CONQUISTADOR, GCHS TARQUIN HUFFISH PIEDMONT'S STARBOY, CH BAR-NONE PIEDMONT SHOW STOPPER, to only name a few.
