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

          Max is a very dark red male with all black points who came to join our family in February of 2008 and has kept his dark red color throughout the years.  He and the girls are almost inseparable.  They play and hunt together most of the day, and Max watches out over his girls faithfully. Max is 27 inches at the shoulder and weighs about 66 pounds.  Although he is a large dog, he is very friendly, affectionate, and thinks he should be a lap dog. He is also very good with our grandchildren, and good at traveling in the car. Max is friendly with everyone right from the first introduction. We are very blessed to have him with us. He is a healthy 12 years of age and still very dark red with all black points. 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.

 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 is now retired from breeding, 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 is still pretty dark red at the age of 7. Combined with Max, has 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.
