What it’s like to be part of a Valaurah Farms litter is just as important as the puppies themselves.
The Experience
Bringing home a Valaurah puppy is more than just a pickup day — it’s a guided, transparent experience from the very beginning.
Once you join our waitlist, you’ll be invited into a private Facebook group created specifically for your litter.
This is where we share consistent updates throughout the entire raising process, including photos, videos, developmental milestones, and a behind-the-scenes look at how your puppies are being raised.
We typically post several times each week, giving you the opportunity to truly follow your puppy’s early development — not just through staged photos, but through real, day-to-day moments.
You’ll see how the puppies interact, how they respond to new environments, and how their individual personalities begin to emerge.
As the litter grows, we introduce structured early experiences that lay the foundation for confident, capable dogs.
This includes crate exposure, grooming introduction, car rides, problem-solving activities, and early socialization — all done thoughtfully and progressively.
At seven weeks, each puppy undergoes a structured temperament evaluation.
We provide detailed insights to help guide your decision, and selections are made in order of reservation fee.
You’ll have the opportunity to choose your puppy with as much guidance as you’d like — whether you want hands-on support or prefer to take the lead in your decision.
After puppies go home, the group remains active as a space for continued support, shared experiences, and connection.
Many of our families stay involved long-term, creating a community that extends well beyond those first eight weeks.
Families who join our program have the opportunity to follow along every step of the way.

OUR GOAL FOR THIS LITTER
This Standard Poodle litter was thoughtfully planned to produce well-rounded, capable puppies with the structure, drive, and temperament to succeed in a variety of homes and activities.
We are especially excited about the potential in this litter for performance and sport homes, and would love to see some of these puppies go on to earn titles in activities like rally, scent work, FastCAT, and more.
We are also hoping to identify a strong conformation prospect from this litter to continue building on the qualities we value in our Standard Poodle program, including structure, movement, and overall presence.
Along with performance potential, we expect these Standard Poodle puppies to do well in:
Service or working roles, for the right individuals
Active companion homes that enjoy training, engagement, and involvement with their dog
Our goal is always to match each puppy with the right home where they can grow, be enjoyed, and reach their full potential.
ABOUT THIS PAIRING
This pairing brings together two highly capable, driven dogs whose strengths complement each other well.
Veela contributes confidence, engagement, and a naturally interactive temperament, along with strong structure and presence. Whiskey adds exceptional workability, problem-solving ability, and persistence, paired with balanced movement and an animated, eye-catching style.
Together, they represent a combination of drive, intelligence, and structure that we expect to produce puppies who are both capable and versatile.
This is a pairing where we anticipate consistency in mindset and ability, while still offering a range of personalities within the litter to suit different types of homes.
Meet the Parents
Both Veela and Whiskey are performance and conformation titled, health-tested Standard Poodles with complementary strengths in structure, temperament, and working ability.

Whiskey carries a high prey drive and a persistent nature, which contribute to his workability and enthusiasm, while remaining balanced by his ability to think through challenges and stay engaged.

Structure • Athleticism • Instinct
Veela is an energetic, playful girl with a confident, engaging personality and a naturally interactive style. She is highly motivated and enjoys working and engaging with her people, while still maintaining an affectionate, cuddly side.
She is self-assured and assertive, with a moderate level of human focus and the kind of confidence that allows her to adapt well in a variety of environments. She gets along well with other dogs and carries herself with ease.
Veela does have a notable prey drive, which is typical for a dog with her level of intensity, but it is just one piece of her overall temperament rather than a defining trait.
Structurally, she is a balanced and correct female from a heavily titled pedigree. She is the daughter of an AKC Champion sire imported from Russia and a UKC Champion and Best in Show winning dam, and she has earned her own UKC Championship.
CH RATI NCRs Radiance Beyond Compare
This pairing combines Magic’s structure, intelligence, and workability with Minnie’s prey drive, athleticism, and natural instinct.
The result is a litter designed to produce:
Consistent drive and engagement
Strong sport and performance potential
Excellent physical ability and movement
A range of companion temperaments
Previous litters from this pairing have produced:
Multiple service dogs
Show prospects, including an AKC-pointed dog working toward a championship
“Quack,” who earned Best Puppy in Show Bred-By and Reserve Best Puppy in Show Bred-By before six months of age
This is a pairing built for purpose — not by accident.

Overall, this litter is expected to produce puppies with:
Confidence and assertiveness

Our Placement Process
We expect this litter to produce puppies suited for a variety of homes, including performance, sport, service, and well-matched companion placements. Each puppy is evaluated individually and placed based on temperament, structure, and long-term suitability.
What Your Puppy Goes Home With
Every puppy is sent home with:
• Snuggle Puppy for comfort and transition
• Blanket with litter scent
• Slicker brush for early grooming
• Calming support aid
• Long-lasting chew (bully stick, buffalo horn, or similar depending on availability)
• Age-appropriate toys
• Cedar chips to support continued potty training
• AKC registration (prepaid and delivered digitally)
• Complete veterinary record
• Tummy care kit including dewormer and Pro-Pectalin
• Sample bag of current food
Microchipping with Fi Nano or AKC Reunite Microchips
We currently feed Purina Pro Plan Lamb & Rice All Life Stages, and puppies are well-established on this diet prior to going home.
How Your Puppy Is Prepared Before Going Home
Equal importance is placed on how each puppy is raised and developed during their time with us.
Each puppy is given a strong foundation through early, intentional exposure, including:
• Early neurological stimulation (ENS) and early scent introduction (ESI)
• Daily handling and structured socialization
• Early grooming exposure and handling tolerance
• Crate introduction and foundational independence
• Car rides and exposure to new environments
• Introduction to problem-solving and engagement
• Learning how to appropriately take treats and interact with people
• Early potty training using a dog door and cedar chip transition system
• Ongoing observation and temperament evaluation
Health & Veterinary Care
All puppies receive age-appropriate veterinary care prior to going home, including:
• Bordetella at 3 weeks
• Neopar at 4 weeks
• First DHPP at 6 weeks
• Veterinary exam at 7 weeks
Puppies go home at 8 weeks.
If a puppy remains until 9 weeks, they will receive their second DHPP prior to going home.
The goal is not just to send home a puppy, but to provide a well-prepared, confident dog with a foundation that supports long-term success in their new home.
Pricing, Availability & Reservation List
Puppies from this litter are priced at $3250.
This reflects the level of health testing, structured raising, and ongoing support provided through our program.
Reservations are accepted following an approved application, and a non-refundable reservation fee is required to secure your place in selection order.
At approximately seven weeks of age, each puppy undergoes temperament evaluation. Based on these evaluations, we provide guidance on each puppy’s individual strengths, tendencies, and best-fit homes.
Families then make their selections in order of reservation, with as much guidance as desired. Some families prefer detailed recommendations, while others choose more independently — we support both approaches.
Our goal is to ensure each placement is thoughtful, informed, and aligned for long-term success.
We prioritize homes that are prepared, committed, and aligned with the goals of this litter.
