As reputable breeders of this unique and elegant breed, the standard Poodle, we aim to offer puppies of exceptional quality at a reasonable cost.
We breed mostly for ourselves so don't provide litters of puppies continually throughout the year. We have 2-3 litters per year. We believe in quality not quantity.
We don't support mixing our standard poodles with other breeds to jump on the bandwagon to make a quick buck. So you will not find any "designer" or more correctly
termed "mutt" puppies being offered on this site.
Poodles are just too special a breed for that.
We raised purebred, AKC registered,
standard poodles ONLY!
In order to show with other clubs,
we will also register our dogs with that club,
making them double or triple registered.
It is our desire, that by visiting our site, you will not only get to know us and our dogs a bit better but come to appreciate all of the hard work, time and effort that goes into maintaining a high standard when it comes to raising quality poodles.
Our puppies are born in our home, NOT in a kennel atmosphere. They are NOT kept in crates unless they are being potty trained. They receive loads of attention on a daily basis from us to stimulate them with human sound and touch. They are exposed to the regular household noises and activities and experience being groomed several times before going to their new homes.
At the appropriate age and weather permitting, they do spend time each day outside in a safe enclosed area where they can receive the needed sunshine and fresh air so vital to a puppy's well-being and physical growth.
Our puppies are examined and vaccinated by a licensed pet care professional as they make an individual veterinarian visit before being ready to go to their new homes at 8 weeks of age. We do not vaccinate or dock tails and remove dewclaws ourselves.
While there is never a perfect guarantee of health when breeding, we try our best to utilize the current testing available to reduce the risk of producing heath issues. Therefore we strive to offer you puppies whose parents have passed those screening tests. We try to wait until the approximate age of 2 years when hips can be certified before breeding any of our dogs. Most of the health records of any of the adults that are in our breeding program or are retired can actually be viewed by typing their full registered name into the OFA database. We supply copies of the parents health records when you purchase a puppy from that particular litter.
REQUIREMENTS FOR PERSPECTIVE OWNERS:
We are looking for "forever homes" for our puppies.
If you would like to be considered when inquiring about our puppies, please tell us a little about yourself and the kind of home you can offer a poodle companion by filling out our puppy application. This will also give us an idea of what you are looking for.
And
We require two references from you, one from the veterinarian and one
from a groomer that you will be seeing with your new puppy. This applies to EVERYONE who wants to purchase a puppy from us whether you have owned Standards in the past or not as this provides us with information about you from someone else who knows you and your pets and will assure us that our puppies will be well taken care of once they are in their new homes. These can be in the form of a written letter, phone call or email from these pet care professionals.
If you are a first-time dog owner and live in a busy traffic area, we will only consider homes that have a fenced/secure play area. This allows a puppy to get the off-leash exercise it needs in a safe place so it can grow into a mentally and physically well-adjusted, loving companion.
These prices are for limited AKC registration.........
Our solid colored puppies start at $1000.00 for creams and blacks, and $1100.00 for apricots and $1200.00 for reds or any other rare solid color.
Our multi-colored puppies start at $1200.00 depending on pattern, color, or gender.
Beginning January 2008, our printed health guarantee contract is offered on any puppy placed for $1000.00 or more. A puppy could be placed for a price under the above price range but there will be no printed guarantee offered.... Copies of the parents health testing will go home with your puppy whether you receive the printed health guarantee or not.
Any puppy that is sold for a minimum of $1000.00 shall be offered a.......
Performance Refund incentive.
This means that you could receive $25.00 back for earning a title up to two in Obedience, Agility, Retrieving or being certified in Therapy. A CGC does not count.
A minimum $100.00 non-refundable deposit is required to hold a puppy once the litter arrives but before they are ready to go to their new homes. We don't accept checks but will accept money orders or cash. Payments can be made while the puppy is in our care but must be paid in full before your puppy goes home with you.
The majority of our puppies are sold with limited registration which means he/she can not be shown in the conformation ring but can compete in Obedience, Agility, and Hunt events. We highly encourage you to involve your poodle in one of these sports as it can be very rewarding not to mention lots of fun for the dog and the whole family.
On rare occasions, we will consider placing a puppy in a show/breeding home. Ask for details.
We also strongly recommend spaying or neutering your puppy at the appropriate age (8-12 months).
Puppies under 6 months of age, who are going through the teething process, do better with free-style exercise as the tugging and pulling of a leash/collar can cause irritation to them when they are already experiencing allot of mouth/jaw discomfort during this normal developmental stage.
