Fima, one of our champions in ALMA LADY: white poodle kennel

In the heart of our white poodle kennel in Villanova Mondovì, among the subjects that have given us the most satisfaction, Fima occupies a very special place. Not only for his wonderful temperament and morphological structure that precisely complies with the FCI Standard N° 172/2024, but for something that goes beyond aesthetics: a cynophilic history of the highest level, prestigious genealogical roots, and a lively and surprising intelligence that manifests itself every day in his relationship with us and his surroundings.

From Junior Champion of Spain to Italy: the Origins of an Elite Subject.

Fima is no ordinary toy poodle. Arriving in Italy from Spain, he brings with him a pedigree built on generations of excellent subjects…. The title of Junior Champion of Spain – won before he even arrived in our white poodle herd – is official confirmation of a morphological quality recognized by international judges in a country with a solid and competitive dog breeding tradition.

His ancestors are among the most titled subjects on the European circuit-a pedigree that leaves no room for improvisation and guarantees genetic transmissibility that is valuable for the quality of the puppies Fima produces.

A Dog that Learns, Anticipates and Amazes

Those who have been fortunate enough to know Fima know what we are talking about. The Toy Poodle is historically recognized as one of the highest IQ dog breeds, and Fima is a concrete demonstration of this. He learns new commands in very few repetitions, memorizes daily routines with almost human precision, and anticipates the intentions of the people with whom he interacts by displaying an uncommon empathic ability.

This kind of intelligence-defined by dog experts as adaptive intelligence-is one of the most sought-after traits by discerning owners who come to our white poodle kennel: it is not enough to have a beautiful dog, you need a life companion who can communicate, respond, and surprise you every day.

Intelligence as a Selective Goal

At Alma Lady, selection does not stop at morphology. For over thirty years, our white poodle kennel has been working on character, temperament and cognitive aptitude as fundamental criteria in the selection of breeding stock. Fima is the consistent result of this philosophy: a subject that combines structural correctness and mental brilliance, with a lively but never nervous, inquisitive but never anxious temperament.

On a daily basis, Fima displays what we might call contextual intelligence: he understands when it is time for play, when calm is required, when a new host needs time to trust. It is not training for its own sake-it is the natural expression of a psychic balance built through selection, early socialization and the correct developmental environment.

Why Intelligence and Pedigree Make a Difference

Those who choose a puppy from our white poodle kennel bring home not only a subject morphologically conforming to the FCI standard, genetically tested and followed from a health point of view: they bring home a dog predisposed to learning, deep emotional relationship, and peaceful coexistence in a family.

The genetic matrix

The White Toy Poodle is a variety of coat coloration that requires special attention. In our white poodle kennel, every mating is designed to preserve and strengthen both dimensions-aesthetic and behavioral-by relying on genetic testing, extensive orthopedic analysis, and morphological evaluations at shows.

Fima, Junior Champion of Spain with a very prestigious pedigree behind him, embodies the result of this patient and methodical work of ALMA LADY white poodle kennel.
