I have been given the distinction of being an AKC "Breeder of Merit". The Breeder of Merit Program honors breeder/exhibitors' dedication and hard work as they continue to produce dogs that are healthy, capable, and beautiful. The foundation of today's AKC, Breeders of Merit have the power to influence, guide, and teach future breeders, exhibitors, and all purebred dog owners.My name is Wendy Cronkrite.  I am a wife, mother of two sons and a daughter, AKC and UKC Champion Poodle Breeder, professional groomer and handler of my own poodles.  I have been breeding standard and miniature poodles since 1983 and have a passion for these wonderful dogs!  Whether Baroque poodles are destined for the breed or performance ring, or as a pet, our poodles receive the attention to details that makes all the difference in the ring or at home.        I invite you to visit the pages of this website and see the results of my breeding program.  Baroque poodles have earned breed championships, obedience and agility titles. 

Most of all, Baroque poodles are healthy, happy dogs.   Puppies are occasionally available.All the poodles that I use for breeding are CHIC.  Canine Health Information Center.  This is jointly sponsored by the AKC/Canine Health Foundation and the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals.  The CHIC, working with PCA, Poodle Club of America, provides a resource for breeders and owners of purebred dogs to research and maintain information on the health of poodles.  The CHIC program offers benefits to breeders, buyers, parent clubs and researchers.  For breeders, CHIC provides a reliable source of information regarding dogs they may use in their breeding programs.  For buyers, the CHIC program provides accurate information about the results of a breeder's testing.  Each dog must be permanently identified in order to have test results included in CHIC.  I believe this is necessary in order to produce the healthiest poodle possible.When a Baroque poodle is placed into a new home,  a multitude of information is provided which includes photos, pedigrees, title certificate copies and health testing results of the father and mother as well as feeding and care instructions. 

All puppies come with a health guarranty.  Please visit our Puppies page for more information about Baroque poodle puppies.

To share with others the joy of owning, hunting, and competing (in any venue) with one of the most versatile and intelligent of dogs. To accomplish this, we are committed to doing our best to breed poodles (aka "pudels") with the genetic health, physical strength, structure, and mental soundness necessary to avoid a complete loss of the very characteristics that have made them popular in the field, water, other competitive and fun venues, and as companions.

Thus, we have carefully selected our breeding stock to blend dogs with retrieve drives, proper temperament and health, and those with structural qualities which will enable them to work without injury. While approximately 40% of our puppies' purchasers buy them solely as companions, we take our goals seriously and have immersed ourselves in the training (ours and the dogs) that will prove to a world where survival hunting has nearly vanished, that retrievers' instincts haven't (even those of the forgotten retrievers, like the standard poodle). We are committed to continuing to learn new methods of training bird dog(s). We enjoy (really revel) in working with and watching all retrievers do exactly what they were designed for--retrieving birds. This love has resulted in multiple Master Hunter poodles for our kennel. if you are interested in a pup. Poodles vs. Other Retrievers: The main reason we chose a poodle was allergies. We have a severely-asthmatic daughter who changed our lives.

We owned a pair of Labrador Retrievers when she was young who eventually had to be confined to one room in our home or outside--not the life we wanted for our furry family members. Upon their passings, we were determined to find a breed that could follow us to any room in our home without wreaking havoc with her allergies. You read a lot about the poodle plague (aka an addiction to poodles). I think we all grow up seeing poodles in funny haircuts which, quite frankly, make them look like anything but a sporting dog. So how could someone get obsessed with something so funny looking? Underneath all of that hair, is a dog that will consume you with its versatility, intelligence, and loyalty. (The irony in the Continental cut, i.e., the funny haircut, is that it was created to protect vital organs and joints on the waterfowl retrieving poodle; yet, those shown in today's "modified" Continental cut are shown in conformation, not field or water.) The historically-correct cut was first described by Gervase Markham in 1621 (in the original waterfowl retriever training manual).

The longevity of the cut, whether "original" or "modified," is a good sign that it isn't going anywhere. The good news for you, however, is that the choice of haircuts is yours once you own a poodle. Here's a picture of our Moshe, taken 7/09/2014 on his way to water train. He was shaven head-to-toe with a #10 blade. We think that even naked, he is quite handsome. Why Placed in AKC's Non-Sporting Group? Since just dabbling in history is not always enough, here's more. Poodles were placed in AKC's "Non-Sporting" category because they make wonderful companions, not because they don't have the brains, endurance, strength, or temperament necessary to compete in sporting events (our dogs are proof of that). If Standard poodles weren't viewed as the same breed as their smaller cousins (i.e., toys and miniatures), it is possible that they would have a different placement. Adding to the problem is the fact that poodles with long coats tend to pick up every sticker, cocklebur, etc., that they run or swim near.

This caused them to lose favor with hunters once short-coated retrievers were developed. It was the belief years ago that long coats on poodles were necessary for warmth, and lacking neoprene vests, that may have been true THEN. This is a different time. Keeping a hunting or field poodle in a shorter coat makes them no more susceptible to stickers and burrs than a lab, golden or any other retriever, and the advantage is that they don't shed (imagine how nice that is). We hope that their group placement will be changed at some point, but I would think we are far from that day since there is such a small number of poodles who have even been entered in hunt tests to prove their merit to the powers-to-be with the Poodle Club of America (the governing agency for AKC). We hope to one day be a part of history by participating in our beloved poodles' rightful placement in the Sporting Group. Why Harmony Mountain in the Name?
