1. Is your breed good with children and retirees? Poodles are the #1 most popular family dog. With Teddy Bear Poodles quickly becoming the most popular. Most people think that they are nothing like poodles. I have been breeding for over 30 years and have heard more than once, usually from the man in the family, that we are not getting a poodle. Maybe it’s because of the stigma attached to the strange hairstyle of show poodles or if it’s just the name, I don’t know. But Miniature and Standard Poodles are some of the toughest dogs you’ll ever own. With the toy poodle being the ultimate lap dog. If the toy poodle has not grown up around small children, it may be sensitive to fast movements or rough play by children, I recommend that you socialize your toy poodle from when they are puppies so that they enjoy children and do not be afraid Let me tell you, once you’ve had a poodle, you’ll never change breeds.
Now you can have the most intelligent, non-shedding, friendly, protective, loyal and most trainable dog. Poodles can resemble small teddy bears, or in a more traditional cut, they will look more like a poodle in the show ring.
Many breeds have well known behavior problems. Obvious or inherited genetic dispositions that can develop into destructive behavior that are to say the least bothersome and may eventually require you to hire a professional behavior specialist to help you. I’ve heard people say, will my dog ever grow up and outgrow these bad habits? Poodles have no notorious/genetic bad habits. Some people refer to poodles as having an old soul. They are wise and have good common sense from the start. Eight week old puppies are easily taught things because they want to please their owners. I often use the term people pleaser to describe my poodles. Your poodle will love the ground you walk on.
I found out that male poodles are preferred over females when it comes to families. Male poodles like all members of the family equally. Sometimes women choose a person as their favorite to lavish their love on. The females may also fight with other females where the males seem to get along with everyone.
Teddy bear poodles can seem like puppies forever. The Teddy Bear is a special clip that you can request from your hairdresser. There are many different hair styles that you can give a poodle due to the type of hair they have.
You cannot go wrong with the Poodle, if you are an inexperienced dog owner or have a busy lifestyle with children, the Poodle will be the perfect choice for you.

Many breeds have well-known behavior problems, often called the terrible 2s. I’ve heard people say, will my dog ever grow up and outgrow these bad habits? Poodles have no notorious/genetic bad habits. Some people refer to poodles as having an old soul. They are wise and have good common sense from the start. Eight week old puppies are easily taught things because they want to please their owners and are smart enough to focus on their owners and what they are saying. I have 6 week old puppies who watch and listen to everything I do, often turning their heads to listen and learn, they are amazing. I often use the term people pleaser to describe my poodles. They really love the ground we walk on.

3. What group of dogs does the poodle belong to? Teacup and Toy Poodles are in the toy group. Miniature and standard poodles are in the Non-sporting group.
4. What do you breed? I raised Teacup Poodle, Toy Poodle and Teddy Bear Teacup and Toy Poodles.
5. How much exercise does your breed need daily? Depending on the size and temperament of your dog, Poodles, like all breeds, need outdoor exercise, if only for mental stimulation. One or two 15-minute walks for the little ones and long-distance bike rides for the older ones, and anything in between.
6. Does your breed shed? No.
7. Do you train your puppies or dogs, any suggestions for buyers? My pups are all housebroken using a Potty Park before leaving. Many people don’t have the patience or time it really takes to make the first few months of housebreaking quick and painless. So I do the training for you. If you are a first time dog owner, poodles are perfect for you. Poodles are people pleasers, want to be good, and crave your approval. He is also a very clean dog.
8. Any notable predispositions with your breed? Poodles love everyone and are very smart, don’t let them out. The next thing you know, you’re going to be trained.
9. Do you offer any Certification related to combating genetic predispositions? Yes, science has identified many DNA markers to help breeders eliminate the common genetic disease from the breed. I do genetic testing on my adult breeding dogs to make sure as best I can that your pup doesn’t have genetic health issues. You can read my puppy sale contract to see the health guarantee.
10. How long have you been breeding? A little over 30 years.
11. How many litters per year do all your babies receive care? It is very important, especially with Teacup Poodles and Toy Poodles, that they be properly socialized. Every stage of your life from birth is impressionable. I try to do everything for my puppies, so that they adjust. They are taught not to bark for attention, to rest calmly in your arms when you hold them. They take short car rides, they are used to going out, inside and walking on different textures. They are surrounded by all the normal household noises. And most importantly, the weaning process is done slowly to ensure they don’t grow up with separation anxiety issues. I won’t have too many puppies at once that can’t get the proper care they need.
12. Samples, any event or activity? Yes, I show in AKC confirmation classes and have many Champions. My dogs do therapy dog work in hospitals and retirement centers. None of my personal dogs, but many of my pups have competed in obedience and agility trials. I even have some miniature poodles that can hunt down a Labrador Retriever.
13. Do you breed more than one breed? Yes, I also breed Yorkshire Terriers.
14. Are all vaccinations up to date when puppies are sold? Yes, my puppies are up to date with their vaccinations and deworming.
15. Are your pets registered? My dogs are AKC registered.
16. Do you own the parents of the puppies sold, are they available to view? Yes, I own the dogs I raised, they are all considered my children as part of my family. Most people ask to see the parents. Which I appreciate an educated consumer interested in the quality of the puppies, and where they come from.
17. Do you have a contract? Yes, my puppy health guarantee and contract of sale can be read online or emailed upon request.
18. Any guarantee? I have full guarantee. My puppies also go to the vet for regular puppy exams. And a copy of the vet’s report is given to you along with complete immunization records. Please see my website.
19. Do you have any unresolved Customer complaints? No, I am very honest with my buyers, to make sure they get what they want. I’m not one to much pressure and I never try to push a puppy on anyone. I have the best before, during and after customer service you could ask for.
20. Why do you think you are a first class breeder? I breed Teacup, Toy Poodle and Miniature Poodles of the highest quality possible. With great calm temperaments, correct confirmation, with beautiful thick curly coats and a handsome appearance. I do genetic health testing on my adult dogs to make sure they don’t have genetic diseases.
Buying a puppy online can be scary. But from my point of view, it’s just as scary to sell to someone I’ve never met or seen. I have sold my puppies to many celebrities who have come to my house to pick up their new puppies. I have many testimonials on my Facebook page, Little Poodle, and on my website. I don’t think you can find a better behaved and better behaved pup.
21. Tell us about your area where your pets are raised. My puppies are born next to my bed and many of them right in my hand. I consider my dogs my children and they live with me as a family, since I do not have human children. They are loved, cuddled and allowed to play outside every day.
22. Tell us all you want, did we get lost? I can say that you will be totally satisfied if you get a puppy from me. From the quality of my puppies to the no pressure sales approach, to the variety of puppies I offer. The best before and after purchase service you can get.
