Our History

In January 1986 at the age of 11 we went to visit a litter of Standard poodles for the first time and from that point forward I was hooked.  Mitzi was the naughty one of the litter, stood out from the rest and we knew she was the one for us for the next 15 years.  She was a big girl that was with me through some of the hardest times of my life.  When Mitzi was 8 someone abandoned a miniature poodle on our doorstep and Scruffy joined our gang.  Scruffy was completely my girl, she was so loyal and when I got married she came to live with me, but visited my parents house with Mitzi while I worked.  We had her through the children arriving and took on the job of guard dog while the babies slept, I couldn't of asked for a better girl and was heart broken when she passed. This is when we knew that I needed another Standard and Heidi arrived.  It was at this time that I knew that I wanted to breed poodles however the timing wasn't right with the children being so young and with work commitments I knew that I couldn't give a litter of puppies the time they would need.  When Heidi was 2 I came around a corner and bumped into a very handsome Poodle called Louis.  Instantly I became very good friends with his owner Jane. Now as it happens Jane was just starting out as a breeder so I watched and learnt from the best for the next 10 years. 

One Sunday morning I came across an advert for a poodle puppy, she was 10 weeks old and she had already been to 4 homes, I knew I had to have her and give her the life she deserved.  Sandi was such a poorly girl from the very start and I knew it was all down to the poor breeding.  We gave her the best life, Heidi and Sandi spent many lovely years together and when Heidi passed Sandi was left very lonely.  Jane had just had a litter and you guessed it, Louis was the Dad and I knew that Eboni would be perfect.  

By now all my children were growing up and I thought this was my chance to follow my dream and to have a litter.  With a lot of guidance and help from Jane, Eboni went to be health tested and passing with flying colours, the first litter arrived.  To say it was an experience is an understatement, Eboni was a complete natural, so loving and caring. 

From this point forward the BafiDink Standard Poodle name was made.  Hermioni arrived one year ago and we will be looking at getting her health tested in the next few months but first and forth most these girls are our family pets.
