Thanks for all of the comments, this forum is a great learning tool for me. I have been wanting a spoo for along time and I just want to do this right when the time finally comes and am trying to learn all I can right now. I really like the environment that her dogs appear to live in. I'm not searching for one to be overly large, but the weight and height that she list didn't seem extreme from what I've read about the breed. I'm not interested at all in showing a dog, but am very concerned about getting good temperment, which she seems like she works toward.

I didn't find her Poodles that Large or out of range. Her Sire is Larger at 28" but he is by no means a Moose, chunky, clunky or bunky looking. He is actually larger than what he appears in Photo's. She has a 23" female which in no way is a "large" Poodle & her other 2 I think are 25 & 26" maybe slight large for a female but again I find them on the graceful side.
Yes, she does hips & eyes which is a great beginning but what about SA, & all the other problems Spoo Breeders test for?

I would go & make a visit if you are close enough buy throught the months to get a comfortable feel & then make your decsion.

I'm on another poodle forum, where one member has an absolutely wonderful, loving and gorgeous female from this breeder. From what the member has written about the breeder, and how she feels about and cares for her dogs, I would not hesitate to get a pup from Solo Standards. I just wish I lived closer; my personal preference is not to have a pup shipped, but the breeder is just too far from where I live. :-(

Thank you Cailinriley for letting me know that. She has many beautiful pictures of her past puppies that are posted on her website, but it's great to hear about her dogs from another source. I am trying so hard to be careful to find the right puppy from a good breeder, and I am really falling for her dogs.

Personally I would purchase a dog from a show or performance breeder, ideally if they do both. That runs health tests on their breeding stock. Looks like they do hips at least. Standards need more health testing than the other varieties, and normally your stud dog should have the most extensive testing. Looks like Mona has the most testing..Testing is important so you are more apt to have a healthy pet that will live many years.
