The Program
Our dogs are family members first who also happen to enjoy earning every one of their accolades, proving they are worthy of continuing their legacy.
AKC CH Briopanache Is Turning Up the Heat
Honey was purchased as an excellent genetic match for our program and our male poodles. She earned her AKC Championship in the show ring and is now retired from showing into what she does best: being an extraordinary mom. She lives with her guardian family and is absolutely adored by her dad Chris, who she has completely claimed as her person.
She is currently expecting her litter with Enzo, due August 20, 2026. Go-home dates are October 18–25.
AKC CH SHR Urban Hero's Essere Ferrari JH RN · CHIC #208957 · Son of Zena
Enzo is everything we hoped he would be when we kept him from Zena. He excelled in the show ring, finishing his AKC Championship at just 10 months of age. He earned a Rally Novice title with a First Place ribbon at the Huntsville Obedience Training Club and has proven his drive and biddability in the field with his hunting titles. He has excellent drive, is friend to everyone, and though he only has eyes for his mom in most situations.
He is the sire of the Honey × Enzo fall 2026 litter. His temperament: focused, trainable, and genuinely joyful, is exactly what we want to carry forward in this breeding program.

Urban Hero's Happy Days · Black & White Parti · Son of Zena · CHIC #186025
Fonzie is a parti-colored son of Zena, striking in black and white at 25.5 inches and 55 pounds, and one of the most accomplished dogs in our program. His title string is a testament to what a well-bred, well-trained Standard Poodle can do. He is Phillip's baby and best friend, and the feeling is mutual.
His sister Prada is a working service dog, which speaks to the temperament this line produces. CHIC #186025. All clearances on file with OFA.
Blue & White · Foundation Female · Urban Hero Poodles
Zena is where Urban Hero Poodles began. Blue and white, spayed and retired from breeding, she is the dam of Enzo, Fonzie, Solis, Prada, and Cooper, five dogs who are themselves building the next generation of this program. She is cherished beyond measure. She earned her retirement.
Zena serves as an active service dog for Logan, our oldest son, who is deaf. She is his constant companion, his working partner, and the most important dog in our house. She will live with this family for the rest of her life.
She is on the couch right now, probably begging.
The Next Generation
Zena's offspring are the heart of what comes next. They live with our co-owners and guardian families, compete in their own right, and carry everything we spent years selecting for.
Daughter of Zena · Guardian Home: Destiny & Kitty
Prada is a working service dog and a direct example of the temperament this breeding line produces. She is Fonzie's sister and lives with her guardian family, who she has claimed completely.
Daughter of Zena · Guardian Home: Hannah
Solis lives with her guardian family Hannah, who adores her. She is part of the extended Urban Hero family and a direct daughter of our foundation female.
Son of Zena · Co-Owner: Dani · Guardian Home: Katie
