Alaska’s adventure poodles

GALAVANTING POODLES

an air of distinction

Galavanting Poodles raises beautiful, solid color standard poodles for the purpose of companionship and sport.

A poodle is a very active, intelligent and elegant-appearing dog, squarely built, well proportioned, moving soundly and carrying himself proudly.

ADVENTURE

Our poodles are raised in the old growth forests of the Susitna Valley in Talkeetna, Alaska. Life for Galavanting Poodles includes hiking, camping, lake and river adventures, as well as backcountry experiences.
Outdoor experiences are very important to the growth and well-being of our poodles. Our goal is to raise well-rounded poodles that are equally at home on the sofa as they are in the mountains of Alaska.

STRUCTURE

We value the outside opinion of breed specialists and judges to give an honest evaluation of the physical structure and general temperament of Galavanting Poodles. All of the poodles in our kennel compete in the conformation dog show ring and must earn the title of AKC Champion before being considered for breeding. We use the conformation ring to prove our stock by making certain the poodles we move forward in our Galavanting line are.among the best specimens of the poodle breed.

We breed poodles to bring their natural qualities to perfection

Breeding purebred standard poodles is a passion of ours at Galavanting Poodles. We are fortunate to have access to lovely pedigree lines that date back more than 100 years. Each new litter of poodle puppies born in our kennel strives to improve on the previous generation. We breed to preserve the original standard poodle and its purpose as a companion and helpmate to humans.
Our puppies possess the qualities poodles were originally bred to exhibit. They are versatile poodles who are equally at home binging Netflix or hiking in Alaska's backcountry.
Galavanting puppies are loved all over the world. They lead active lives as valuable family companions and sporting competitors. They work as service dogs trained to meet their people's individual and specific needs. They fly in bush planes in Alaska and lounge in brownstones in NYC.
