It never ceases
to amaze me how many people call or email us looking for a
poodle and I would estimate at least 70% of the people have had
a poodle touch their lives in the past. Most all of them would
not even consider owning another breed. To take it a step
further, poodles are "people dogs"!!! To raise a
poodle in a kennel situation is like raising a child in a
jailhouse environment, we spend untold hours playing with our
puppies and we play with them outside in the yard at 6 weeks
old. They learn to run and play and cavort with each other as
puppies so when they leave our home, they go to yours, another
home environment and within a couple of weeks they will have
"you" completely trained and on your way to a
life-long relationship. |

| If you
have made a decision to get a puppy, please do a little
homework!! Ask the person you are talking to why they bred the
litter in the first place? Do you test the parents for genetic
abnormalities and who did the testing? Will they give you copies
of the results for your records? How many litters do you breed
in a year? Do you breed any other dogs and what are they? And
last but not least, what do you do for a living besides breeding
dogs? This should give you a pretty good perspective about who
you are buying a dog from and an even better idea of what your
puppy has been through in its short little life! It is
unfortunate that there are people who live off of the dogs they
breed and could care less about who or what they breed.
Unfortunately there is not a "Consumer Reports" to go
to get this information, so it is solely up to you to do the
legwork. Don't buy a puppy on a impulse!! |

We put copies of
all testing in the puppy packets that we send home with our
puppies and we are big believers in Kirkland Signature (Costco)
puppy food,
which also goes home with new babies.
Our dogs live with us, sleep with us and all puppies are well
socialized and somewhat potty trained by the time they're ready
to be part of a new family.
We only breed when we expect the litter to produce a new puppy
for our line, and anyone who's been to our home can see how well
loved the SUNDANCE poodles are. We prefer to have people come to
us in person to buy a dog. It's much easier to have a breeder that you can call
or drive to for help, advice and support.
