Why a Kingsdown Standard Poodle?

"Kingsdown", the prefix of Gwenneth Mosdale since 1969, has endeavored to improve the Standard Poodle in appearance and temperament while still maintaining the intelligence that is well known to this breed.

Kingsdown Poodles are world-renowned. In 1950, Gwenneth's father bought her her first miniature poodle. After several years had passed, she was at the Stanley Park Dog Show in Blackpool, England and was introduced to her first Standard Poodle. She immediately fell in love with the Standard Poodle and promised herself that when she got to America, that she would buy herself a Standard Poodle. That is where it all began. When Gwenneth realized that this was going to be her life goal, to produce beautiful poodles, she decided to get a prefix. After many, many hours of thought, her brother, Arthur, the owner of the Kingsdown Hotel in Devon Cornwall, England, said to her, "why don't you use the name, 'Kingsdown'?" And it has been that ever since.

Through the years, Gwenneth has been breeding and showing her world-class line. She has also had the pleasure of making a series for television, called "Pet Peaves" for NBC. Gwenneth was also chosen as a Top Breeder of Standard Poodles for "Poodle Variety" magazine. Further, she authored an article entitled, "Grooming Your Puppy" for "The Poodle" magazine in 1985.

ABOUT THE STANDARD POODLE

The Standard Poodle, being the largest of the breed, could place them in the category of a country dog. However, a born cosmopolitian, they adapt themselves to city life with greater versatility than most of the large breeds.The environment seems to matter little as long as they can be with the people they love.

Some of the popular reasons for owning a Standard Poodle are:

They are naturally very clean They do not shed, thus no hair to clean up, and less problems with allergies For excercise, they are a wonderful jogging/walking companion - as well as protection while out They are wonderful guard dogs, with no aggressive training Highly intellegent. Training is often unnecessary as they are quick learners They are a wonderful companion for all ages - the very young to the very elderly We could go on and on telling you why you should own a Standard Poodle - ideally a KINGSDOWN!

AGAIN, WHY A KINGSDOWN?

Because they are the best in the world. We Guarantee It!
