We as responsible breeders take a lot of our time, money and emotions in to every litter. What do you think is the going rate of a companion/pet/performance Standard Poodle puppy? _______________________ A well bred, health tested, well tempered puppy with good basic socialization is surely more than a pet store puppy.

Please write a few paragraphs outlining why you want a dog and what you expect your dog to add to your family.

General Information

Our goal is to breed as close to the AKC breed standard as possible. The standard is up for individual interpretation and don't be lead a stray by any breeder who says they breed dogs that fit the standard of perfection-why would they then continue breeding? We do not guarantee temperament once the dog leaves my environment. Any number of things can affect how a dog matures and what it's final personality will be like--all which I as a breeder cannot foresee. But it is our attempt to make sure that the puppy you take home has as stable of a temperament as possible, having been exposed to as many different situations as possible.

​

Puppy Questionnaire

Please fill out this application to assist us in knowing just what you are looking for and how you view your role as a dog owner. It also will help us be assured that our puppies will be going to the best homes possible and not end up being re-homed or in a shelter somewhere! All our puppies will be sold with the understanding we get the dog back if for some reason you are no longer wanting or able to keep him / her. Your information will not be shared with others, other than our daughter which is co-owner of our dogs along with our trainer/teacher who is performing the Puppy Aptitude Test to better assist you in making the right choice puppy as a good match.

​​

Submitting this form will not automatically insure that we will be able to provide you with a puppy. This form serves as a way for us to get to know you better and ultimately place the correct puppy in your home.

Please do not hesitate to contact us about puppies at any time. I try to communicate well with each applicant but there are times when I miss a post or something is thought to be sent to me and it just doesn't arrive. I never feel that you are bothering me at any time with any questions! No matter how many! I am here to answer them all, now and in the future, even if you do not get a puppy from us.

​

Purchase Information

Show prospects - are offered as what we feel is a puppy that is representative of the breed standard as stated by the AKC. There is no guarantee that the puppy will be a Champion, but at the time of sale was what we considered a show prospect puppy.

Companion/Performance - are offered only with spay/neuter  AKC "limited" registration papers are not turned over to the new owners until the proper paperwork receipt from your veterinarian is presented to fulfill the spay/neuter.  These puppies are no less a representative of the breed, but may have a conformational flaw that would not allow it to be as competitive in the ring. A dog with "limited" AKC Registration can compete in all AKC events except in Conformation classes.

​

We do health testing on all sires and dams and do not breed them until they are 2 years old and have Championed, and health testing is cleared. OFA'D & Chic #, HIPS, ELBOWS, PATELLAS, EYES, CARDIAC, THYROID, DENTITION, DNA'D, neWs, vWD, DM and more! All testing information is located on the website - LADIES page and GENTLEMEN'S page on the clickable link - www.ofa.org website. We strive to breed dogs that are free of genetic defects but due to the nature of some disorders, can not guarantee that every puppy produced will not carry a defect or be affected by something later in it's life. That's just the nature of breeding, regardless of how hard you plan your breedings and test your dogs.

​

All puppies are placed with up-to-date shots and wormings. We also socialize the puppies with other dogs, and people. There are cattle and horses visible to them and has its advantages for different scenarios and species of animals. Puppies are also started on crate training, and learning to use the bathroom outside. It is our responsibility and goal that we have puppies that are happy, eager to please, inquisitive and outgoing when they leave for their new homes!

​

All dogs must be in the house with the family most of the time, poodles want to be with their people and are not an outside dog. If you plan on keeping him/her outside, then a poodle is NOT FOR YOU! Also never would I sell a dog to someone who ties/chains their dogs up. This is not acceptable. We do not place puppies or dogs in homes with underground fencing. You must be able to provide a fenced area to allow your dog to play off leash and not be afraid that it may run off or be attacked by another animal. We will consider placing dogs in families without fences but special conditions must be met in those situations.

​

If you happen to inquire about a certain sex, color, or personality, we may not have a puppy in any given litter that fits your wishes. Every litter doesn't come with all the variety. If you are too specific, we may not be able to help you right away, but perhaps down the road. We feel that we are able to better pick a puppy for your needs than you are. We are with them constantly, feeding, playing, cleaning, watching them, so know their needs better.

​

We have our professional Service dog trainer/teacher come and perform the VOLHARD - ABO - PERSONALITY and SERVICE DOG Testing. We encourage our puppy buyers who have placed Deposits for a puppy to watch via YouTube, and ask the trainer questions by phone. You may make an appointment to interact with the puppies, and make a choice of what puppy best fits your family application.
