More about us & the puppies
What We do...
All of our poodle puppies have their dewclaws removed and have their tails docked by the age of 3 days old. They are also wormed bi-weekly, receive a neopar vaccine at 4 weeks old and their first DHPP vaccine at 6 weeks old. They will get a full exam and fecal test. When you pick up your puppy at the age of 8 eeks old, you will get a copy of the vet papers . All of our puppies come with a 1 year health guarantee, Limited/ Full registration contract, and AKC papers. They will also come with a fun "goody bag" with their food they are eating, toys, info packet, and more! :) All of our puppies will have ENS preformed at early ages, basic obedience & enrolled in the Breeder early start protocols with Baxter/Bella training, Temperament testing by Vohlard, structural activities, lots of water intro, crate intro, & baths/hygienes starting at 2 weeks up to 8 weeks old, as well as scent work & sound therapy. We have also got into ESI & are partnered with BAB (Jeanette program). We have recently been approved as a good dog breeder and AKC Bred with Heart.
How are the poodles raised...
Our puppies are born in our local home, and receive soft touches and socialization from their birth to the day they leave our home! When the pups are old enough, they are moved to an air conditioned indoor/ outdoor facility to grow up in! They go from a nice blanket with their mom to clean their bums, to starting potty training! Our poodle babies start using a litter box full of equine pellets to potty on. Once they master the litter box, we introduce them to the doggy-door! By the time they leave our home, they are well-known with the outdoors! We have multiple people help socialize our puppies to give a good start in their life time!
Make Puppies "Super Dogs": Early Neurological Stimulation for Dogs.
Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)
Also known as the "Super Dog Program", has been used for decades and benefits puppy development in five ways:
The five steps are:
- Improved cardiovascular performance (heart rate)
- Stronger heart beats
- Stronger adrenal glands
- More tolerance to stress
- Greater resistance to disease
The five steps are:
- Hold the puppy's head up
- Hold the puppy's head down, gently, no swinging
- Hold the puppy on his back
- Put the puppy's belly down on a cool towel
- Stimulate the bottom of the foot with a cotton swab
Avi-dog: ESI
(Early scent introduction)
ESI is a program that is preformed on our pups at an early age to help benefit for later events and stages of life!
1. Introduce a new scent daily to each puppy beginning on Day 3 and ending on Day 16.
2. Once a day, pick up each pup individually and hold it gently but firmly in one hand, so
that there is no chance of it falling. If you would be more comfortable, sit on the floor
and cradle the pup in your lap.
3. With the other hand, hold the scent item about 1⁄2 inch from the pup’s nose. If the pup
wants to move towards the item, allow it to do so. If the pup tries to move away from the scent item, allow this as well. Do not move the scent item toward a pup that is trying to avoid it.
4. Hold the scent item in place for 5 seconds. If the pup shows no reaction or an adverse response, end after 5 seconds. If the pup chooses to engage with the scent item, allow it to do so for up to 30 seconds.
5. Return the pup to the box and repeat this procedure with the next puppy until you have done the entire litter (or cohort, if you are splitting the litter).

Good Dog Approved
From Good Dog’s website:
“ To us, dogs are more than just pets — they're tail-wagging, best-friending, sometimes shoe-chewing members of the family. But the system for getting a new dog is broken, and dogs are suffering. The ease of setting up a storefront online is making the problem worse and worse. Well-intentioned people, who just want to give a dog a good home, don't know who they can trust. We started Good Dog to change all that.Good Dog makes it simple for people to get dogs from good sources and for reputable breeders, shelters and rescues to put their dogs in good homes. And we provide all the support and guidance you need to feel confident every step of the way.”
