Fergus is an exquisite canine with a personality as distinctive as his appearance. He embodies the essence of a gentle giant, radiating warmth and affection unlike any other dog I've encountered. His endearing habit of gazing deeply into your eyes while being petted is just one of the many traits that make him truly remarkable.
In Fergus, I've found a source of immense joy, and I am profoundly grateful for his presence in my life. While he may not bark often, when he does, it's with a purpose, signaling that attention is required. Remarkably responsive to training, Fergus has seamlessly adapted to using a remote collar and boasts an impressive verbal recall.
His playful sighthound spirit shines through in his love for chasing fabric frisbees, showcasing his ability to track an object in flight. Despite his imposing stature, Fergus extends kindness and patience towards his feline sister, allowing her to assert her dominance in their shared domain.
Exploring the great outdoors alongside Fergus is a true delight, and he loves to take long strolls. Whether it's hiking through scenic trails or gliding across snowy landscapes on cross-country skis, he's always near me and responds to my calls. Leslie and Josh have been a pleasure to work with. They care deeply for their dogs and it's been a treat to provide updates on Fergus as he grows.
In good health,

Having an Irish Wolfhound/Standard Poodle mix was a dream. I searched rescues for some time and it really is not a breed found there. Then I started searching breeders. I wanted a reputable breeder who treated the dogs and puppies as family. Well, Josh, Leslie and family provide just that. The parent dogs are their own family pets and the puppies once born are with the parents and the family. The puppies are well socialized and loved and it shows. It really is just a perfect situation, a breeder that truly cares about the dogs it's breeding and the puppies born.
Our Rufus (Charlie from the third litter) is everything they tell you this breed will be and more. He is incredibly gentle with all humans he has met as well as other dogs, cats and horses. He is extremely smart and was house trained fully by 4 months of age. His training is going so well. He is a perfect candidate for a therapy dog because of his wonderful demeanor so we are pursuing this with him. Rufus is a huge cuddle bug and insists on multiple snuggle times every day..which of course he gets. He is funny and goofy and a wonderful companion. Everyone who meets him cannot believe he is not even 7 months old yet, he is just so sweet and well mannered. We could not imagine a better experience and outcome.
Stoddard Creek Puppies has provided us with an absolute joy of a dog. Truly a gentle giant and we just love and adore him so much. Do not hesitate to add one of these wonderful pups to your family!
The DePasquale Family
Sassenach spends every day with me, she goes to work and on vacations. She's a big girl, you can't really tell in the photos, but she's about 31 inches at her shoulder. She's almost 6 foot when she stands on her hind legs, and just under 100 pounds right now. I absolutely adore everything about her, she's just perfect, very obedient and protective, but loving and snuggly. She's been scolded less than a handful of times (seriously maybe 3) and immediately hays down with her back to me and howls like a wolf. She's very dramatic and comical. She loves all animals she's met and is very gentle (expect with chickens). Her best friend is a black lab named Agnes. She is a few days younger than Sassenach and half her size. She likes going to lakes and hiking. She's wonderful on a leash but also has excellent recall when I let her off to run.
Our dog's name is Lulu. She is such as sweet girl! She is calm, loving, and very intelligent. When she is not snuggling with me on the couch, you can find her playing with her toys or on adventures outdoors. On walks, people always comment on how gentle and well behaved she is. She has a beautiful dark coat that is very easy to maintain. Lulu is currently seven months old, incredibly healthy, and weighs approximately 70lbs. She is beautiful inside and out. I am lucky to be her mom and I am so excited to continue to watch her grow!
I am beyond grateful to have found Stoddard Creek Puppies! They raise healthy and happy puppies with amazing temperaments. I would absolutely adopt from them again in the future. If you are looking to add an addition to your family, you have found the perfect breeder!

We have had many breeds of dogs over our lifetime from rescues to purebreds. Our dogs were brought into our lives as puppies or young adults.
Our experience has shown the effect of how young puppies are raised in their first months. The puppy we adopted from Leslie and her family at Stoddard Creek Puppies is one of the healthiest, happiest, outgoing, affectionate and playful puppy we have ever had.
It is clear that Leslie and her family has given hours of attention to these pups.
Well done!
Thank you Leslie and your family.
