Hayden

Fair warning: I cannot rave about Hayden enough. His personality and mine mesh beautifully together. I simply could not ask for a better dog.

A small, compact and well-proportioned Standard Poodle, Hayden is clearly a handsome boy. But that’s not why I love him: it’s all about his personality. He’s extremely calm for his age. He never barks or jumps on us, and he always listens. His nature is gentle, sweet, and loving.

I have worked hard to collect calm poodles at my kennel, and Haydon is the calmest of the calm. Yet, he’s also very confident. If Coco is the Poodle Princess of SwissRidge, Hayden is the Prince. He has a genuine affection for other dogs and loves to romp with them. In fact, Hayden and Valentino are the best of buddies, which is uncommon for intact males. It is proof of their solid temperaments.

Hayden seems to radiate such positive energy that all the dogs relax when he’s around. I’ve never seen anything like this in a dog before. He would make a wonderful service dog or a companion for children with special needs. I can’t help but believe he’ll pass along some of this magic to his offspring, because he is one special dog.

I have examined three generations of Hayden’s pedigree, and his ancestors have sound hips and elbows.
