GUARDIAN HOME OPPORTUNITY - RED POODLE

UPDATE: Loki is happily settled in his new home on Daniel Island, SC with his three (3) human siblings. If you would like to get notified of future Guardian Home opportunities, please review this earlier blog post and submit an application.

​Lord Reddy (aka "Loki") is a beautiful purebred red Poodle who won Best Puppy in Show in Europe before joining our breeding program. Loki's full adult weight is 13 lbs. and he is about 14 inches tall. He is 1.5 years old and is imported from Europe where his parents hold Championship titles. In Europe he was considered a Dwarf Poodle, but in the US he falls in the Miniature Poodle category. Loki is fully house trained and has an understanding of basic commands. He also walks beautifully on a leash and love to fetch his tennis ball. Loki is registered with the FCI (Federation Cynoloqique International) and is completing his AKC registry. Loki will serve as a stud in our program for Cavapoos. He will also be offered as a stud for local poodle litters.

Loki has been with us for about a month while he had all of his required health testing for breeding and acclimated to the US. We are now ready to find Loki  permanent placement in a Guardian Home where he can be someone's cherished pet. Because Loki has been in our family for a while, we have had the time to identify what type of family he would be suitable for. Here is Loki's wish list for the perfect family: 

• Loki needs to stay in the Charleston area. He will be an important part of our program so he will need to be close enough where we can get him for regular appointments.
• He loves other dogs but would prefer they be about his size (slightly smaller or larger is okay but he does not respond well to large dogs). He is not neutered so he can't join a home with females who have not been spayed. 
• He is indifferent to cats. 
• He really needs an active family - Loki loves to play. He loves to  chase his tennis ball and go on long walks. This is not the dog for someone looking for a couch companion (as a matter of fact, he's trained not to jump on the couch). 
• Like most poodles, Loki is very smart. He would be suitable for a family who has never trained a dog as he already has a good start, but must have a family interested in learning more advanced tricks with him. 
• Loki would love to join a family with kids or teens who might have an interest in agility training or junior show handling. We would be willing to provide some of the training. 

While Loki might be a small package, he is not a lap dog. He wants to play, run and engage much like a Labrador. He does not shed but does need regular (monthly) grooming appointments. Loki is up to date on all vaccinations. Guardian Home applicants must demonstrate the ability to cover regular veterinary costs (we cover all costs related to breeding), proper nutrition and grooming. 

If you are interested in becoming a Guardian Home for Loki, please make sure you have read our post on Guardian Homes and filled out the application. Please include "Loki" in your application. Any suitable applicants will be contacted by phone and/or email for a follow-up interview.
