Meet VOLGARUS kennel

My passion for Poodles began when I was just 11 years old, and they have been an important part of my life ever since. For more than ten years I have been dedicated to breeding Standard and Miniature Poodles, with a strong focus on producing dogs that are healthy, well-balanced, intelligent and true to the qualities that have made this remarkable breed so admired for many centuries. The two cornerstones of my breeding programme are health and temperament. Every breeding combination is considered very carefully, taking into account health testing, pedigree, temperament, conformation and the individual strengths of both parents. My aim is not simply to produce puppies, but to preserve and develop the very best qualities of the Poodle and pass them on responsibly from one generation to the next. Over the years I have bred and owned successful show dogs, including champions, and I remain actively involved in showing my own Poodles. I am also a Royal Kennel Club judge for all three Poodle varieties – Standard, Miniature and Toy – and have judged around 200 dogs so far. Alongside breeding and showing, I am a professional Poodle groomer with many years of experience preparing dogs for the show ring. I groom my own show dogs and have also shared my knowledge and experience with other groomers through training and specialist Poodle grooming masterclasses. For me, understanding the Poodle means appreciating the whole dog – not only correct conformation and a beautiful coat, but also health, temperament, intelligence, trainability and the wonderful relationship Poodles develop with their people. My dogs are raised with great care, attention and understanding of the breed, and I am equally careful when choosing homes for my puppies. I want every puppy I breed to go to someone who has thought carefully about bringing a Poodle into their life and who is prepared to offer the time, commitment, care and companionship they deserve. For me, breeding Poodles is not simply a business – it is something I have devoted a very large part of my life to, and I remain just as passionate about the breed today as when I first began.
