About Me

Hi, I’m Bethany Faden, owner and professional dog trainer at Be the Boss Dog Training. For years, I’ve dedicated my career to helping dogs and their owners build stronger relationships through balanced training, clear communication, and responsible canine stewardship.

My passion extends beyond training—I’m equally committed to preserving the Standard Poodle through ethical breeding practices. Every decision I make, from selecting breeding pairs to completing comprehensive health testing, is guided by the goal of producing healthy, stable, and well-rounded dogs that excel as family companions, working dogs, and performance partners.

Odo represents the qualities I value most: exceptional temperament, sound structure, intelligence, and proven health. I’m proud to offer him to responsible breeding programs that share the same commitment to the future of this remarkable breed.

OFA Testing

We believe responsible breeding starts with health. That's why our stud has completed comprehensive OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) health testing to help screen for inherited conditions that can affect future generations.

OFA testing evaluates a dog's overall health and genetic soundness through breed-specific screenings, giving breeders valuable information to make informed breeding decisions and promote healthier puppies.

X-Rays

Every responsible breeding program should be built on transparency and evidence—not assumptions. Odo has undergone diagnostic digital radiography as part of his comprehensive orthopedic evaluation to ensure his structural health is thoroughly documented.

High-quality radiographs allow veterinary specialists to examine the alignment, integrity, and condition of the skeletal system, providing valuable information that supports orthopedic assessments and responsible breeding practices.

Genetic Testing

We believe responsible breeding begins with science and transparency. Odo has undergone comprehensive genetic testing to screen for inherited diseases commonly associated with the Standard Poodle.

These results provide valuable information for responsible breeding decisions, helping reduce the risk of passing on hereditary conditions while supporting the health and longevity of future generations.

PennHip Report

We believe responsible breeding starts with objective, evidence-based health evaluations. That’s why Odo has completed a PennHIP assessment to evaluate the health and stability of his hips.

PennHIP is one of the most advanced methods available for measuring hip joint laxity—the looseness of the hip joint—which is one of the strongest predictors of a dog’s lifetime risk for developing hip dysplasia. By providing an objective measurement, PennHIP helps breeders make informed decisions that support healthier bloodlines and improve the long-term soundness of future generations.

As part of Odo’s comprehensive health testing, his PennHIP evaluation reflects our commitment to transparency, responsible breeding, and preserving the health and longevity of the Standard Poodle.

Advanced Cardiogram

We believe responsible breeding includes evaluating every aspect of a dog’s health—including the heart. That’s why Odo has completed an Advanced Cardiac Evaluation performed by a board-certified veterinary cardiologist.

An advanced cardiac examination screens for congenital and inherited heart conditions that may not be detected during a routine physical exam. By assessing heart structure and function, this evaluation provides breeders with valuable information to make informed breeding decisions and helps promote healthier future generations.

As part of Odo’s comprehensive health testing, his advanced cardiac clearance reflects our commitment to transparency, responsible breeding, and preserving the health and longevity of the Standard Poodle.
