I am looking for a standard poodle breeder (maybe that specializes in brown, silver, black or phantom) in the Texas area and I am willing to travel for the right pup, but hoping to find something closer to home. I am based in TX, but I do have ties to California and Maryland/Delaware area.
I am looking or the spring/summer 2012 time frame because I am currently deployed and I dont get back to the states until then.

I am looking for a smaller sized spoo, not looking for the xtra larged sized ones. I am interested in the moyen/caniche sized ones...but I have seen some of the things that people say/in regards to some breeders so I am not sure....

I really want a brown poodle! Silver, black or phantom colored and female...I know I am asking for a lot lol...

I am not looking to breed, I am looking for a companion and dog that I could use for grooming competitions since I am a groomer after being a soldier

Any info and help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry to say that I cannot help you in your search for a good breeder of small standards. I do hope you find someone to point you in the right direction.

I do want to say thank you for your service to our country. I have two children in the service as well and know the sacrifices you make so that we can live the lives we have.

I live in Missouri, which is not terribly far from Texas. There is a well known breeder of browns in my area (Tom Carneal of Peckerwood Kennels). In fact, I know a breeder in my area who has cafe au lait, brown, black and possibly blue puppies currently available, sired by Tom Carneal's stud dog - a lovely brown champion. These puppies are full siblings to my cafe girl, Millie. PM me with your email address if you would like more information.

Thank you guys! I still have about 6 months here so I am super excited to start really looking when I get back to Texas.

I too thank you for your service. I have a friend on his 5th tour in Afghanistan now and I know the toll it takes on you and your loved ones although he downplays his sacrifice.

Check out Cho. Millie's 52 weeks and you will see she is stunning so the opportunity to get a full sibling is a great opportunity, especially for a groomer. She has fantastic hair along with beautiful conformation. Can you tell I have a crush on her dog?

Thanks for the compliment, CT Girl! Millie is a lovely girl. She is very moderate, not fancy like many of the poodles in the ring (including Tiger - he is extremely fancy, which leads to some faults that Millie does not have due to her more moderate build). However, I believe she is put together well. Aside from a narrow front and shoulders too far forward, she is structurally correct. These problems are becoming almost the rule rather than the exception with poodles, though.

Millie is a very athletic, intelligent dog. Of my three, she is the smartest and most human-like.

If you would consider a black Aris poodle in Florida has gorgeous poodles!!! I am waiting for a black girl now. I also wanted a smaller standard and the mother of this current litter is small. Ann Martin (feldspar) in California sometimes has chocolates shes a groomer and her dogs are beautiful. If you would consider a miniature which was my second choice, Clarion in California has to die for minis that are some times 15 inches.. Good luck in your search, I have been waiting 8 months for my girl..

Also, Tiger's breeder in IL (not exactly the south, but still thought I'd mention it) has a brown male standard available.
