Phillips Red Maximum Voltage       (born 4-11-2006 )

Max passed away in September of 2019 at the age of 13 years 5 months. He is the father of Ellie Mae, Zala, Gibson and Auggie, who are all in our breeding program. He is also the father of the majority of our puppies now living with wonderful families.

          Max was a very dark red male with all black points who came to join our family in February of 2008 and kept his dark red color throughout the years.  He was a fabulous sire for us since he came here in 2008, and passed his much desired personality to his offspring.   Max was 27 inches at the shoulder and weighed about 66 pounds.  Although he was a large dog, he was very friendly, affectionate lap dog. He was also very good with our grandchildren, and good at traveling in the car. Max was friendly with everyone right from the first introduction. We were very blessed to have him with us, and we miss him greatly! Here are his testing results:
Hips: PennHIP test (reference #870342) revealed 0.31 right and 0.35 left laxities (an EXCELLENT result). His hip results place him in the 90th percentile of all Standard Poodles, meaning 90% of tested Standard Poodles have worse hips than him.
Ataxia (Neonatal Encephalopathy) DNA Results: "Normal" per University of MO AMGL Case 53858, meaning he does not carry the gene, so he cannot pass it to his offspring.
Von Willebrands DNA Results: "Clear"for the disease per VetGen Report 48587; meaning he can never get it and can't pass it to his offspring.
Sebaceous Adenitis: "Normal" per OFA PO-SA2365/19M-Pl
Eyes : CERF - normal (POS-5777) CERF redone in April of 2015 - Normal

Dam: Raspberry Woods Jazzy Red Cedar (born 1-13-08) (Now retired from breeding, but I have kept her information since she is Ellie Mae's mother and grandmother to Reba.

 Cedar is a beautiful girl. She started as a dark red and has lightened to a light red or reddish apricot as an adult; standing 25 inches at the shoulder and weighing 50 pounds.  Cedar loves chasing the birds and has actually caught one in mid air.  She also loves to swim in the pond, chase geese and play keep away with her toys.  She is a great watch dog.  She barks and stands away from people when they come, but once she knows people are welcome, she warms up to them just fine.  She is never aggressive, is very gentle when taking treats and has a very soft bite with toys.  Her tail wags continuously and her happy disposition has brought us great joy.  Her desire to be close to us as much as possible has made her a wonderful, cuddly pet.  She has made many families happy with the 31 puppies she has brought into this world, all sired by Max. She is now retired from breeding, and we kept one from her last litter, Ellie Mae, to carry on her production of good tempered puppies with beautiful conformation! Cedar has CERF verification for normal eyes and PennHip testing results 0.48 in the median percentiles with no radiographic evidence of hip dysplasia.

Dam: Raspberry Woods Amazing Scarlet Gracie( born 6/01/2010) (Gracie passed away in January of 2021, but I have kept her information because she is Gibson's mother.)

This is Gracie! She came to us a very dark red as is shown in the picture. She lightened a little, but was still a medium red color her whole life. Combined with Max, she produced 5 litters of very dark red puppies! Most of them have retained their red color and some have lighened to a lighter red. Her personality is very laid back and sweet, yet also loves to play and is very spunky and smart! She is a small standard standing 22 inches at the shoulder, weighing 49 pounds. She loves to retrieve toys, is a fabulous hunter and swims right out to us when we are in the water. She figured out on her own how to open our door to let herself in and out without our help! We're not sure we like this trick, but it shows her intelligence for sure! We love her dearly and you will too! She is small, but her DNA mixed with Max has resulted mostly in very large red standards, standing 26-29 inches at the shoulder and weighing 55-70 pounds. Our Gibson is one of their offspring. She also has two dark red offspring from Jesse when we did a dual sire litter on her fourth breeding.

As an adult poodle, he is 29 inches at the shoulder and weighs 66 to 70 pounds. He grew to be bigger than his father and has kept a medium red coat.

Raspberry Woods Red Elegance: "Ellie Mae" (born October 2, 2013) Ellie retired from breeding in November of 2020. She is Reba's mother.

Ellie Mae is a puppy from our Cedar and Max. She was a beautiful, solid, mahagony dark red with a soft and very curly coat until the age of two, at which time she faded to a lighter red. Her personality is calm and sweet. She is about 26 inches at the shoulder and weighs about 60 pounds.

Jesse comes to us from Cinnfully Sweet Standard Poodles in California. He is a deep red color with all black points and has a very muscular square build! He is a sweet boy and loves being out side including swimming in our pond. He received his CGC certificate in September 2016 just after turning one year of age. Jesse was a dark mahogany red color until three years of age, but is now a medium red with darker red ears. He stands around 25 to 26 inches at the shoulder and weighs 65 pounds.

Zala stands 25 inches at the shoulder and weighs 52 pounds.

Raspberry Woods Maximum Augustus "Auggie": Born August 29, 2018

Auggie is a brother to Zala, but one year younger. His mother is Sophia and his father is Max. He is quite a clone of his father in personality, and his coat started out a deep dark red color. He is just a bit smaller than his father at 26 inches at the shoulder. He has lightened to a medium red color and has kept his deep black points. His personality is outgoing and friendly like both of his parents, and he loves to travel! With the help of his wonderful owner, Gretchen Bodnar, he has earned both his CGC and TKI certificates and recently passed the TDI test to be a therapy dog. He has not sired a litter yet, but we are hoping we can use him in the near future to produce gorgeous puppies with great personalities.

Testing Results:

type I von Willebrand's Disease: Clear by parentage

Degenerative Myelopathy: Clear

Neonatal Encephalopathy: Clear

PRA (rcd4 and prcd): Both clear

PennHip Testing: Right DI = 0.26 and Left DI = 0.25 Excellent reading meaning his hip tightness is in the top 5% for the breed
