If you haven’t owned a Standard Poodle yet, you are in for a delight. Either way, you’ve come to the right site!

My love of breeding started in my grandmas barn raising St. Bernard and Boxer puppies. Every time a litter was born I’d pack my bags and head to her house to tend to the babies. All night feedings became my biggest joy. I knew then that one day I would become a breeder.

My passion for poodles began in grade school when a pair of toy poodles became part of our family and our hearts. Currently we are sharing our home with two toy poodles, Rosie and Annie who are mother and daughter, a beautiful standard poodle who is certified as a Delta Society Therapy Dog. And our new love Gracie Girl.

Paris is fully tested for genitic disease and is the mother of our grand-dogs. Miss Gracie will be be joining our breeding program in the future.

		Therapy Dog Prayer “Creator of all things, grant us humility that the works we behold with our eyes, through our Therapy Dogs, we may accept in our hearts, as a revelation of your love for all humanity”

The breed name “Poodle” comes from the German word “Puddeln” which means “to splash in water.”

POODLES

The poodle is one of the oldest breeds known to man, There are documentaries referencing the poodle as early as 1642. Poodles had thick, wooly, curly coats. There are several varieties and colors of poodles. Some of the color varieties are white, silver, blue, gray, brown, apricot, red, cream and black. For showing purposes, poodles must be a solid color. Poodles are very happy-go-lucky, quite elegant and make wonderful pets. Poodles range in size from the larger standard to the small toy variety. All are bred without mixing any other breeds with them to get the various sizes.

WHY A POODLE?

Poodles are among the most intelligent dogs you can own. Originally, poodles were bred as hunting dogs because of their sharp minds and quick responses. They are non-shedding and hypoallergenic animals. Those who have allergies to dogs and cats can usually own a poodle without experiencing any difficulties. Since they have no body dander, fur, nor odor, they make perfect pets. Mild mannered, yet protective, they are wonderful with children and great family watchdogs.

CHOOSING A POODLE

Being a conscientious breeder is to breed not for financial gain, but for the quality of the breed. The study of genetic is very important in the selection process. Knowing the bloodlines and temperaments in the background of your dog’s pedigree helps insure the prevention of genetic disorders such as hip displacement. Keeping this in mind when acquiring a puppy will give you many years of happiness to share with a healthy and wonderful companion.
