Finding A Breeder

Please read the VIP EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL, and HEALTH ISSUES to learn all that you can about dog care, health, and selecting a breeder before you select a puppy!

Before you buy a Poodle learn how to pick a puppy based upon health, temperament, aptitude and sturcture.

You may wish to go to POODLE CLUB OF AMERICA or to the POODLE CLUB OF CANADA to review the Poodle Breed Standard and to find more information Information on a large variety of dog activities can be obtained from the AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB.

Note: There is no such thing as a registered Royal Standard Poodle. The term is used as a marketing gimmick to imply that your puppy will grow extra large. A normal Standard Poodle will measure over 15 inches tall at the shoulder and the average is around 24 inches for females and 25 to 26 inches for males. There is also no such thing as a registered Teacup Toy Poodle.This term is used as a marketing gimmick to imply that your puppy will be extra small. Any Poodle which is 10 inches or under at the shoulders is called a Toy Poodle. The very tiny dogs often have serious health problems, which may be the reason they are so small.

To help you find a Poodle breeder in your area a listing of Poodle Clubs with the contact person and telephone number is given below.

This list is updated periodically.
