Hi, to those new to our site and blog, let me introduce myself and my husband to you. We are Randy and Brenda Oldfield, of Oldfield Outdoors. To those of you that know us and check in with us from time to time, I apologize for the long absence of updates. We have been in the process of reworking our sites.
We are fortunate enough to be able to live our lives doing what we are passionate about. My passion in life is my dogs, big dogs, little dogs, rescue dogs. My big dog of choice is my beloved Rottweilers and my little dog of choice is the ever so smart and beautiful Papillon, the wonderful Toy Poodle also has a very special place in our hearts, also. We havebeen hobby breeders for 20 + years. People ask me, all the time, if I get tired of what I do or the repetitive work? The answer is no! I still love what I do and I know that shows in the quality of puppies I produce. We are, as we always have been, about quality not quantity.
We have added to our Rottweiler family, over the last couple of years, by importing champion sired puppies, out of some of the finest European champion bloodlines. Thus, insuring that here at Oldfield Outdoors, we will always have the finest quality breeders to produce the best in Rottweiler puppies. Our Rottweilers have always been from excellent champion bloodlines but our new dogs are out of top European champions with either one or both parents being champions. We go from having one of the largest studs in our Rottweiler, “Bull” at around 162 lbs to one of the smallest studs in “LB” and now his son “Zeke” in our Papillons at around 3 lbs.
Our Papillon base is from excellent champion bloodlines. We have chosen not to go into showing, although I gave it some serious thought. So, we started with some fine dogs and kept those lines alive and added to them, as well. We offer wonderful pet/companion puppies as well breed/show quality. We have lovely, sweet puppies that will make a wonderful addition to your family and, I think, enrich your life.
I like to think that I pay forward to the animal world with the rescue work we do. We are the ones that rescued “Nellie” the chocolate lab pup that was dragged behind a pick-up truck, a few years ago. After a long stretch in the hospital, recovering from massive wounds and several surgeries, she came home to live with us permanently. She is doing very well and again, I would like to thank the hundreds of people that responded to her plight. We have added numerous rescue animals to our family, although, none with the notoriety of Nellie.
As, I hope, you can tell, we love animals and the outdoors and I feel very blessed to be able to share my life with so many wonderful critters. They are a very big and important part of our lives and are treated as part of our family. When you are ready to add a new four-legged member to your family, I hope you will give us the chance to help you with that choice.
We got into “designer” breeds by accident, when, about 15 years ago, one of our female Poodles “fell in love” with one of our Papillon males. After nearly breaking her neck to get to him, the Papapoos were created. It turned out to be a great accident as it produced what is just about the perfect toy dog. Since Papillons are rated #1 in intelligence in toy breeds and Poodles #2, the Papapoo is the smartest of the Poodle mixes. They are gorgeous, sweet and have a wonderful disposition. For people with allergies or wanting a non shedding dog, the Poodle mix has always been the number one chose. There are several Poodle mixes that have been around for 30 or 40 year. Although, the Papapoo has not been around that long, it is here to stay.
The rewards of rescue work is not monetary. So, it tends to get very expensive taking in and restoring to health the many rescue animals we take in. So,that is how I got into a couple of other Poodle mixes. I rescued a wonderful Cocker Spaniel female, then later a Pekinese female. Both are wonderful, healthy girls that meet AKC breed standards. So, they help enable me to continue to help the many abandoned and injured dogs/cats that come ourway, by periodically giving us a litter of Cockapoos and Peekapoos. They are great moms that give us wonderful puppies, that have made several families very happy. It is sort of like a commune, everybody contributes for the goodness of all. I think it is fair to say, since we have many repeat and referral clients, that we are good at what we do and meet my goal of producing wonderful, well adjusted, well socialized puppies. Give one of our puppies the chance to enchant and delight you.
Randy’s passion is hunting and fishing, which he has been doing since he was a very young child. He spent every free moment exploring and teaching himself his craft. He has been a full time hunting and fishing guide for 20 + years. He guides for Large Mouth Black Bass on Lake Fork, TX and Cyprus Springs Lake, from Jan thru Oct, then guides for Trophy White Tail Deer all over Texas. He and his clients have landed numerous Black Bass 10 pounds and over and our hunters are always happy with the results of their time spent in the outdoors with Randy. Randy has a very devoted client base, many of which have been hunting and or fishing with him for 20 years. They wouldn’t keep coming back to him if he didn’t “produce” for them. He gives it his ALL 100 % of the time.
I hope you will stop in and visit with us from time to time, to see what’s new with us and drop us an e-mail if you have any questions. I will try to keep this up dated as much as possible. So, don’t get bored with me, Later, Brenda
