Woody is Helix's nephew, out of his sister Thunder (now Maggie) and sired by a German standard poodle who goes back to unusual brown lineage blending old working lines with European show lines. At 13 months old, Woody stands about 21.5" tall and weighs about 42lbs.

Like Raine, adding Woody to our home was not entirely planned. He was simply too fantastic to pass up.

​

Woody has outstanding structure, the richest brown coat imaginable, and a marvelous balance of substance and style. His square outline, masculine-yet-clean "shoebox" head, fantastic topline and tailset, incredible hard coat, and powerful, breathtaking movement reveal what Helix's line is capable of producing when paired mindfully with the right girl. 

​

Woody's temperament is as dynamic and powerful as his body, and while he can be a handful, he has fantastic performance potential. I'm *very* excited about this young fellow's future! 

Woody is still far too young to make solid breeding plans, but he has remarkable genetic diversity for such a beautiful dog. He is genetically unrelated to Raine (Betterbred category 10 breeding), and when I saw him as a young pup, I could see that he was exactly what I'd been hoping to find for her. So my sincere hope is that he will eventually sire a litter with Raine before she retires. Their pups will be genetic outliers and quite outbred, and I would expect stunningly beautiful, well-structured and intensely drivey performance prospects.

​

Woody is gaining foundations in agility and working rally, has dabbled in nosework, and recently acquired his very first title, in CKC rally. We have high hopes for this dynamic and charismatic boy!
