Falconwood Daisy-Mae - Standard Poodle (Guardian Home)

Daisy-Mae is daughter of Stella we could not resist having another daughter of Stellas in the pack.  Daisy lives in a wonderful guardian home locally and we see her often.  Her human mum is a groomer which Daisy loves as she is a huge fan of a pamper session.  She loves being groomed so much that she will lay down while you blow dry her.  Daisy like her mum could easily be in a therapy dog role.

Daisy is bigger than her sister Jersey standing at 60cm.  Weighing 24kg.  She is a Standard Poodle.  Just like her mum she is DNA clear and has fantastic hips and an incredible personality to match.  Daisy has had one litter of exceptional pups 3 of which are in therapy roles.  Daisy loves to go in the car and hang out at the salon all day while mum works.  Daisy will have her second and final litter in 2026 and will be desexed and retired.  She will spend the rest of her days with her guardian family.

Hip & Elbow Testing

• Hip & Elbow VetScore: 7/106 - Plain English Explanation:  A lower score is better. A score of 7/106 is considered an excellent result.
• Elbows: 0/0 - Plain English explanation: A score of 0/0 indicates perfect elbows
• Pennhip score: 0.33 - Plain English Explanation: PennHIP measures hip laxity (looseness). Lower scores indicate more stable hips and a lower lifetime risk of hip arthritis. A score of 0.33 is considered excellent in this breed, reflecting very tight and stable hip joints.

Falconwood’s health testing program has evolved over time as new technologies and research have become available. Earlier dogs may have Hip & Elbow VetScoring or PennHIP, while our more recently tested dogs have completed both assessments. Each test provides different information, and together they help us make informed breeding decisions. To learn more about our testing protocols and why some dogs have different assessments, please visit our Health Testing Explained page.

DNA testing is one part of Falconwood’s comprehensive health screening program. Our breeding dogs also undergo PennHIP, Hip & Elbow VetScoring, and other relevant health assessments to help us make informed breeding decisions.

A copy of each parent dog’s health testing results is included in our puppy owners’ information pack at the time of collection, providing families with complete transparency regarding their puppy’s parents.

To the best of our knowledge, Falconwood is among the very few Sheepadoodle breeders in Australia that undertake this level of comprehensive health testing, and possibly the only breeder to publicly share the health results of our breeding dogs on our website.

We do not publish the original certificates on our website, as they contain personal information, including owner details and other identifying information. Instead, we provide a clear summary of each dog’s results, while the original documentation is available to our puppy families.

We are incredibly proud of the health results achieved by our dogs. At Falconwood, we are committed to continually reviewing new research, embracing advances in health testing, and making thoughtful breeding decisions so that each generation has the opportunity to be healthier than the last.
