RETIRED - Falconwood Stella (Standard Poodle)

Stella absolutely adored her pups and has even been known to steal other mums pups!  Stella has been desexed and She is a cream Standard poodle weighing 29kg and 63cm at the shoulder.

Falconwood Stella is now living her very best life with the love of her life, Bailey and the two of them are truly inseparable.  We could not ask for a more perfect or beautiful home for oue very special girl.  Bailey makes us so proud seeing how much he loves her and how well he takes care of her.  Thank you Bailey and Family.  It was incredibly hard to see her go but we are full of happiness with every single update!

Stella plays an incredibly important role in Bailey’s life, offering calm companionship, comfort, and steady support in ways only a dog like Stella can. Since coming together, she has brought so much love, reassurance, and genuine progress into Bailey’s world, and watching their bond grow has been something really special.

When they’re not supporting one another through everyday life, Stella and Bailey enjoy the simple things together, watching TV in bed, going for walks, and heading out on horse riding adventures side by side. Wherever Bailey goes, Stella is right there with him.

Their connection is deep, natural, and completely mutual  a beautiful example of just how powerful the right dog, in the right home, can be.

Stella’s story is one we are incredibly proud of, and she will always be part of the Falconwood family.

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.
