This summer is almost here and the long winter, with too much snow and ice, is a memory. Marty and Mickie just visited the Straws to Paws Reproduction center in NJ this last week and their semen came through with flying colors. Both registered a "billion" count and we saved frozen semen for future use. We are so proud of our boys. Marty and I went to PCA's Specialty Show 2015 in Maryland and enjoyed the week of seeing old poodle friends and meeting many new friends. It's always the most exciting week with lots of poodle eye candy to go around. It is so much fun cheering on our friends' poodles and to see which ones rise to the top. I was going to have Marty in the Parade of Champions but missed the entry deadline due to tax return obligations and work. Luckily, I found out we are eligible for the parade every year so next year we will be sure to meet the deadline. Congratulations to everyone!
Marty Will Be a Daddy Again With a Breeding on January 17th, 2021 and Puppies Available In June

AKC UKC CH Amandi's Marty Michelet - "Marty"
2021 Available May/June PUPPIES! Marty will be bred on January 17, 2021 to a beautiful, fully health tested girl and this will be one of his last live breedings. We do have frozen semen for a few AI breedings to approved bitches.
Fall 2021 PUPPIES! We kept a beautiful female from the repeat breeding done by Gladystar using our Marty. This sire and dame produced a male that earned his AKC GrCH at 10 months old and has multiple versatility titles including Trickdog titles. For this girl, Marlee, (please see her page for detailed information), we have plans to breed her to a beautiful boy out of Stone Run this year if all her health testing clears her for breeding. Testing will be completed by May and posted on Ofa.org. Stone Run was founded by Connie Unger and Gloria Boyle who own the #1 poodle in the country, Siba. Siba won multiple Best In Shows and won Westminster Dog Show 2020 in February.
January, 17, 2019 Latest news: Marty is going to be a proud "puppy litter" father again in a repeat breeding. The first breeding with Berta, of Gladystar Poodles (through chilled ship) produced 5 puppies but most importantly the one kept by the breeder, Gerard, became an AKC GrCH before 10 months old. He also received his first level trick dog title and started on the birds/hunting training and agility training, picking them both up quickly and naturally.

2017 ANNOUNCEMENT, Marty is a proud daddy of two beautiful litters, one at Gladystar Poodles in Wisconsin and one at Murrmaid Poodles in Conestoga, PA. Our thanks to these two long-time breeders for choosing Marty as the sire. Joy, of Murmaid, is a long-time renowned breeder of standards and minis and does health testing and showing. She has shown her poodles at Westminster and done very well. John, of Gladystar, breeds for all-around performance dogs that compete in conformation, agility, hunting/field trials, and trick dog.
2013 Woo-Hoo.... Marty, Amandi's Marty Michelet, is an AKC Champion under the wonderful grooming and handling of Crystal and Paul Clas. He was awarded back-to-back majors in one weekend by very renowned judges to complete his requirements for champion. Now he is living the life in a shorter haircut at our home and loving all the attention from his family. We will be compiling a video of his show career and you can see his photos from his Champion weekend on his page. He is available for stud to approved dames.
Both of our stud dogs, Marty and Mickie, are descended from ACK CH JC Pioneer Kaiser. JC Pioneer Kaiser was named the #1 standard poodle in 2003. He was honored with an invite and competed at the Westminster Dog Show in 2004. As an excellent example of a poodle that meets the PCA standards for poodles he was honored with a coveted placement on the cover of THREE Poodle Variety magazine issues. Pro Plan dog food also used his image on their products. This wonderful poodle was the whole package. We are especially excited about Marty's prospects because he shares some common pedigree with London, the current "AKC Century BIS Champion - 100 BIS wins".
See photo page for photos and videos of our last litter out of Mickie. Michelet Poodles is based in Eastern Pennsylvania near NY, NJ, MD, and Philadelphia. We are a responsible breeder of just one or two litters of Standard Poodles per year. Please note: We do not support the doodle fad and will not sell a puppy to anyone who supports the breeding of poodles to other breeds. It is a big no-no in our books. Established in 2008 we produce and show quality Standard Poodles for the AKC show ring, pet homes, and AKC Parti-Standard Poodles that compete in the UKC Show ring. We focus on temperament, conformation, agility, versatility, and structural soundness. We practice a strict protocol of health testing, exercise for our poodles and breeding for the best attributes for the poodle breed. We are members of Lehigh Valley Poodle Club, UKC, and AKC Canine Good Citizen Program. Our poodles are members of our family and live with us in our home. Our poodles’ lifestyle includes lots of swimming, hiking, hunting, socialization, cuddling, and playing.
We have two beautiful stud dogs in our home. Marty, (7 years old), AKC CH Amandi's Marty Michelet, is an AKC Champion. He has completed his health testing and has been awarded his CHIC #. His final hip rating by OFFA was "Good", one of the highest ratings you can get. He is a stunning, refined black poodle. He is available for stud service to approved breeders interested in quality, solid poodles. He has clear eyes, clear NE and VwD, has rated "good" for hips and elbow (unsedated), clear cardio, and clear thyroid. A terrific testament to the dedication to health testing is that 100% of Marty's littermates have been health tested (all of them had good or excellent hip ratings) and most of Mickie's half-siblings have been health tested. Several of Marty and Mickie's littermates have also been awarded their CHIC #. Both our studs participate in poodle genetic research projects through PCA and Marty has donated blood to our local emergency animal hospital.
Mickie, silver and white, (9 years old), UKC Ch Amandi's Mickie Michelet, was the sire of our last litter and is available for stud to breeders interested in multicolored-poodles. He is fully health tested and has been awarded his CHIC #. He is a proven stud with 32 beautiful puppies on the ground and over five of his puppies are show prospects for the UKC show ring and AKC agility competitions (AKC does not allow partis in the conformation ring). We receive ongoing updates on his puppies from their loving families and the reviews have been terrific. All of Mickie and Marty's health testing results are on their pages and everything was clear and good. They are health tested annually every June at the Lehigh Valley PCA clinic (sometimes it take time for me to post the latest results) where they get a CERF exam from a Penn Vet and any other tests I want repeated annually.
We're happy to answer any questions you may have about Standard Poodles and mentor our buyers of our puppies through the process of raising a great addition to your family. Thank You for visiting!
