They're not Poodles,
​They're Family.

Our poodles are born in a loving home with children, other dogs, and cats. They grow up to be anywhere between 12 and 30 lbs.

One of the most popular dog breeds in the United States, Poodles have been around for centuries. Originally bred to be hunting and retrieving dogs, these lean animals have strong snouts, bright eyes, and powerful legs. Perhaps most importantly - they do not shed. Their hair (not fur) is soft and curly and perfect to cuddle with. 
  • These dogs are exceptionally affectionate and devoted to their human family.
  • Poodles are highly intelligent and like to please, making them relatively easy to train.
  • Poodles are not big shedders and can be excellent choices for people with allergies.
  • Typically very good with kids and friendly toward strangers and other dogs, Poodles are a good choice for first-time dog owners.

  • Poodles don’t do well with long stretches by themselves and should not be left alone for hours on end.
  • Some Poodles like to be vocal and will bark when communicating.
  • Like many purebred dogs, Poodles can be susceptible to health problems.
  • Poodles are highly energetic and quite playful. They require a lot of exercise to be kept happy.
