BISS MBIS MRBIS Can GchS. Staken Kandansk Digital Princess
"Ada"

Ada is co-bred and was raised by my good friend Stacy Gheseger of Staken Miniature Poodles and is a 1/2 sister to Vladimir (same dam).

2022/2023
Fall of 2022, Heidi Bell (Rosebell Miniature Poodles) decided to "borrow" Ada for a year.  And what a year they had....  They won the variety over multiple specials from the classes; under Mr. Jimmy Moses at NACA show 2023 and continued on to a huge Group 2nd.  In  Sept of 2023 she earned another huge Group 2nd under Mr. Douglas Gaudin putting her more than 1/2 way to her Grand Championship!  Thank you Heidi for everything you've done and continue to do for Ada.  Your friendship is immeasurable.

GCHS: Grand Champion Silver

 

Ada is now retired from the conformation ring!  We couldn't imagine a more perfect waay to retire than with a BEST IN SHOW!  She also is currently the #1 Miniature Poodle in Canada for the 2nd year in a row.  You sometimes see males achieve this task, but a female who has also had puppies while being shows, is rare... if ever heard of.  We have no more shows for the remaining of the year....so we wait to see if she maintains this achievement.  For now we celebrate!

 

Happy retirement Ada!

 

What's in store.... we aim to breed her in 2026 to Rambo.  In the meantime we start her training to add some titles to the performance side of things.  Once this is achieved, she will have her Grand Champion Excellent title, which is highlt coveted...making her the 3rd Kandansk miniature to achieve this!
