Meet Rufus – my much-loved Toy Poodle and proven stud dog.
Rufus is one of those dogs who wins people over within minutes of meeting him. He's friendly, affectionate, confident, intelligent and incredibly easy to live with. He has a wonderful temperament and loves everyone he meets, whether that's people, puppies or other dogs.
Many people recognise Rufus from his appearance on the TV grooming programme Perfect Pooch, where he was groomed by Lakhi Thindal. He took the whole experience in his stride and showed exactly the calm, confident personality that makes him such a pleasure to own.
Rufus is first and foremost a much-loved family dog. He lives in our home with other dogs, cats and children and is part of our everyday life. He is not a kennel dog and never has been. Growing up in a busy family environment has helped him develop into a stable, confident and well-socialised little dog who takes new situations in his stride. He is comfortable around people of all ages, enjoys the company of other animals and has the kind of calm, friendly nature that many breeders hope to pass on to future generations.
As a groomer myself, coat quality is extremely important to me, and Rufus has a coat that I genuinely admire. His curls are strong and well-defined, the coat is dense, plentiful and easy to maintain, with excellent texture and quality. He carries himself beautifully and has lovely overall balance and structure.
Rufus is healthy, active and well-built. He enjoys daily walks and regularly joins me on 4-mile hikes. He is raw fed, fit, athletic and full of energy, while still having the calm and sensible nature that Toy Poodles are loved for.
He is KC registered and clear for prcd-PRA, with health test results officially recorded with the Kennel Club. His semen was professionally tested in May 2026 and confirmed to be of good quality and suitable for stud work.
When using Rufus as a stud, you won't simply receive a mating and be left on your own. I am always happy to offer advice and support throughout the pregnancy and puppy-rearing journey.
Please note that I require all bitches to have progesterone testing carried out before mating. This helps identify the optimal breeding time, increasing the chances of a successful mating and pregnancy while avoiding unnecessary visits and missed timings.
Stud service includes:
• Two natural matings, 48 hours apart
• Stud contract provided
• Mating and estimated due dates recorded
• Free return mating on the next season if pregnancy is not confirmed
• Ongoing support throughout pregnancy and until puppies reach 8 weeks of age
• Documentation and health paperwork available to view at the first visit
If you're looking for a handsome red Toy Poodle with a wonderful temperament, excellent coat quality, proven fertility and a supportive stud service, Rufus would love to meet your girl.
