Does anyone know of a reputable breeder for silver standards? I know we just got Charlie, but we already know we want another one! Not for a year or two, but I'd still like to start researching. The silver poodles just take my breath away:)

Thanks for the links. I wish I could find someone closer. I'm in Missouri, and I'm starting to think there isn't a single good poodle breeder in the whole state! The airlines have lost my luggage enough times to make me very nervous about having a pup shipped:(

This is a little off topic re: breeders but shipping puppies was mentioned. My sister's dog goes on vacation with them a lot and she now goes only with WestJet, they do a wonderful job with her dog, their cargo cabins are all climate controlled so even if long on the tarmack no problems (most airlines don't have this). Having said that - YES, only ship direct flights.

I am a Silver Poodle stalker (I watch the sites, pics and vids A LOT) lol!! I love them and hope you get one too. There were some great breeders mentioned!! Dessert Reefs are not only beautiful she tells a story with pics and vids while the puppies grow as well as a great deal of helpful information on her site.

I got Suri as an adult dog from Tintlet and her dogs are beauties too, and Gloria is a wealth of poodle knowledge!

Desert Reefs avatar picture looks just like my Ben....I am breeding this coming fall to a cream female that produced 3 silvers, 4 creams and a black out of her last litter. Not that my poodles are as wonderful as some of these big kennels listed but they are sound and healthy and we love them.

Thank you all so much for the suggestions! I want to wait till Charlie is at least a year old before we get another one, but I really want to start looking into breeders early. We got him from a byb. After stalking poodle forum, i realize that was probably very risky. I honestly didn't know. I thought that mom and dad on site, and a good feel for the breeder was enough. I never even considered having a pup shipped from out of state, so I was looking locally. I did find someone who had health testing and such,so they say, but the pups were only $5-600, and from what I have read here, that seems very low, since testing is so high. ssspoodles i think. But the dogs didn't look that great, not groomed well ect, and she also breeds labradoodles, and I didn't like that. So I went to see Charlie. She had his mom, aunt and grandmother as her dogs. They seemed healthy and happy, and were quit beautiful. The pups were kitchen raised, and very well loved and socialized. Missouri is full of puppy mills and mini puppy mills. And most places I called also bred many many different breeds, including, but not limited too, poodles. I didn't bother calling those back. Anyway, I felt very good about his breeder, who is a very caring person btw. But after getting so much information from this forum, I'm terrified that Charlie might develop a genetic problem. We'll just cross our fingers, because that's all we can do. I wouldn't trade him for the world. Anyway, for our next spoo, I want to get from a breeder that does all the testing ect. I want to KNOW that as many health issues as possible have been eliminated. Anyways, thanks again for the suggestions, I've already called a few. Btw, what about reds? I really like those too. And blacks, creams, browns, apricots......lol

Colour preference is a personal thing, and whatever colour you decide on, make sure you see the testing results on the parents. Also get someone to teach you how to use Poodle Health Registry to see what testing, if any, is behind the parents. Not all breeders post their tests on OFA, and in that case, ask for copies of the test results.
