Welcome
to our website where we, Terry Farley and John Dejo, will convey
to you our philosophies and accomplishments.
Kelly, our first Apricot Standard Poodle, joined our
family in 1989. She was a beautiful apricot poodle, and our
foundation bitch, born in the Catskill Mountains of New York.
Kelly
looked so pretty sitting in the kitchen of Ilsa Konig that we
picked her to be part of our family.
She will always be special in
our hearts.
Farleys D Standard has been breeding and
raising exceptional AKC registered Apricot and Red Standard Poodles since 1990. We have bred, raised and shown some of the
finest Standard Poodle champions in the United States including
the First Red Standard Female Champion and the Second
Red Standard
Male Champion. (There are only 3 Red Standard Champions in the US
thus far) We are recognized and sought after throughout the world
due to breeding consistently well-tempered, happy, healthy and intelligent
dogs.
We are members of the Apricot Red Poodle
Club where Terry is currently the Treasurer, and John is
Corresponding Secretary. We are also members of
the Greater Pittsburgh Poodle club where we have served as
officers for different positions throughout the past years and
Terry is their current Treasurer. We
were members of the Poodle Club of Long Island when we
lived in New York City.
In addition, we have raised and shown
Papillons since 1998. After finishing a number of them, ours
and for clients, we started breeding Papillons in 2002. We have only
bred a few litters so far and we are looking forward to
showing them and establishing a Farleys D line of Papillons. We are Members of the Three Rivers Papillon
Club of PA where Terry is the founding President and John has
served as Treasurer and Vice-President. John is member of the
Papillon Club of America.
In the year 2000, John fell in love at first
sight with a Havanese which we named Lola. She was
finished in no time and became our first Havanese. Since then we
have acquired two additional Havanese, Eva and Tango, this time
from wonderful people and honored friends Pat and Sue at Glen Iris
in Williamsport, PA. During the first 5 years of being in the
breed, we have shown and finished many dogs and have been learning
about the Havanese. Our first litter was bred in 2005 and are
pleased to say we championed two puppies from the Bred-By class
from that litter and are looking forward to champion two more from
our second litter. We are members of the Steel Valley
Havanese Association where Terry is the founding President and
John has served as a Board member and is the current
Secretary. Terry and John are also members of the Havanese
Club of America.
We are also members of Fort Steuben
Kennel Association All-breed club.
Terry has judged many AKC recognized A
and B matches and presented seminars for judges and aspiring judges
on topics such as Poodle genetics and Poodle breed type. He is
hoping to pursue his judging license in the future.
We are small conscientious and
responsible breeders that breed for the purpose of producing dogs
to exhibit for ourselves, occasionally raising one or two litters
per year in apricot, red and black Standard Poodles, Papillons
and/or Havanese. Our goal was,
and is, to raise healthy, happy, well-tempered, affectionate
puppies that are also a good representation of the breed. Because of
this, we carefully select bloodlines and characteristics that
compliment one another. This is a process that involves extensive
research and pedigree knowledge. Our puppies are well-suited for
show, pet, agility or obedience. We reside in Verona,
Pennsylvania. (Pittsburgh, PA)
