This breed is amazingly versatile. Our dogs participate in Conformation, Hunt Trials, Hunting, Barn Hunt, Dock Diving, Scent Work, Precision Coursing, FastCAT, Agility, Obedience, Rally Obedience, Companion Sports/Activities, Therapy and Service Work…and more!

Our breeding program focuses on optimal health delivered by means of pedigree research, extensive health testing and continuous education – in addition to independent structure and temperament evaluations. Pups are raised in our home with Puppy Culture and Avidog protocols.

We believe that breeding dogs is a privilege, not a right. As stewards of the standard poodle, we are guided by the principal desire to continuously improve and preserve the breed.

Contracted buyers have access to the litter nearly 24/7 through our PuppyCams.

See and interact with us as we care for, and work with, the puppies in your litter.

When purchasing a puppy, buying from a reputable breeder who shows their dogs is essential. Dog shows provide a platform for breeders to demonstrate adherence to breed standards and be judged by independent experts. Breeders who participate in shows are usually more knowledgeable about their breed and its specific traits and characteristics, which they can use to make informed breeding decisions. This, in turn, helps to produce healthier and better-tempered puppies that are more likely to conform to breed standards.

Additionally, breeders who show their dogs are more likely to prioritize the welfare of their animals, ensuring that they receive adequate nutrition, exercise, and medical care. By purchasing a puppy from a breeder who shows their dogs, you can be confident that you are getting a healthy, well-cared-for animal representative of its breed and more likely to thrive in its new home.  – Unnamed AKC/UKC Judge
