Meet Dyveke, the Owner of Charis Standard Poodles
Hello, I'm Dyveke (pronounced like Rebecca with an "D")
Also known as the "Dyva Poodlista," I'm a preservation breeders, AKC judge, and the owner of Charis Standard Poodles.
Poodles are woven through the fabric of every aspect of my life...this poodle family is inseparable from the life I have led.
The story of Charis Standard Poodles began when I attended my very first Poodle Club of America national in 1983. I finished my first standard poodle in conformation, titled in obedience, qualified and showed at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club in Juniors as a young girl.
I apprenticed with several of the top handlers of the time, who are in fact the top poodle experts of the modern era which exposed me to standard poodles from many different pedigrees across the country and subsequently the world and ignition my 40 year passion for producing the trifecta of poodle breeding - which is health, beauty, temperament.
Health is the selection of genetic components, some that you have control over through genetic testing, most that you have no control over. Beauty is, as it always is, subjective. An understanding, appreciation and adherence to the breed standard is the most effective route to the beauty goal. Temperament is the intelligence, the biddability, the sensitivity, the humor that only this breed of dog possesses.
It is the reason that once one has had a standard poodle all other dogs are just dogs. Lovable and wonderful, but not standard poodles. Neither health nor beauty nor temperament is more important than the other in what makes a standard poodle a great standard poodle.
#1 Most Frequently Asked Question:
What if I don't need a "show dog" - I only want a "pet!"
Anyone can breed 2 dogs.
What sets Preservation Breeders apart, like us here at Charis Standard Poodles, is that we are dedicated to preserving the physical traits, temperament, and personality of Standard Poodles according to their history and heritage.
We do this through chronicling their history (or "pedigree") over the years, and intentionally breeding the best of the best. Showing dogs is simply the way to have many objective dog experts confirm that we are, in fact, doing what we set out to do - poodle breeding the trifecta - which is health, beauty, temperament.
This means you can rest assured that you are not only get the healthiest, most stable Standard Poodle for your family, but one that looks, acts, and behaves in the same way as they were intended to for hundreds of years.
