GEOGRAPHICAL BREEDERS LIST AND ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
What this list is NOT:

This list is not an endorsement of any breeder by Poodle Forum
This list is not a list to just go buy from without doing more investigation
This list is not comprehensive

What this list IS:
This list is a geographical resource compiled from suggestions by PF members and breeder names found and reviewed for minimum health standards in the course of other research.

This list is just a starting point. Personal experiences vary. It’s up to the searcher to learn what to look for in a breeder and decide what’s important to them. Poodle Forum is here as a resource to learn those criteria.

I'm verifying the genetic and other health testing as far as I can but ALWAYS verify current test results on the breeding parents.

Eventually I hope to add an additional key indicating if Health Testing is mentioned, and results listed or linked on the website, or viewed at OFA or other testing site.

Even conscientious breeders may not keep websites updated - if they have one. Ask the breeder which tests have been done on dam and sire of the litter and where the original results can be seen.

---

See Health Testing Criteria below.

---

If I were writing a motto for PF, I think it would be something like “Is It Good For The Poodle?” meaning both the individual pup you bring into your family, and the breed into the future.

---

When someone joins PF to ask about a breeder, if members see the post and have personal experience, they will post about that experience.

In the absence of personal experience, we have only the information that the breeder chooses to present publicly to assess them by and whatever else might be found online, such as OFA testing.

Our assessments follow the PCA Code of Ethics as our guidelines.

Code of Ethics - The Poodle Club of America

I do recommend that people researching breeders contact a breeder to ask about expected information which is not visible in their online presence, such as testing results posted on OFA, but if they choose to look to the PCA referrals or to breeders that present more detail on their breeding program online before making contact, that is their choice.

Things have changed a great deal in the last 10-20 years for breeders and the breeding of well bred dogs. Poodles-for-profit breeders have proliferated and have learned how to present themselves as more than they are. Many for-profit breeders have learned the language of conscientious breeders but don't invest the time and money or learn what it takes to breed well. AKC registered means only purebred. Purebred and well bred are not the same thing.

"Well bred" doesn't mean fancy, it means that the breeder pays attention to health by breeding only dogs tested for recommended health concerns, to structure and movement by knowing the breed standard and choosing dogs that approach that ideal, and for temperament.

All breeders are not equal. There are some, well educated in their chosen breed, following a Code of Ethics determined by the official parent club, breeding to improve the health and soundness of not only their lines but also because they're looking to the future of the entire breed. These breeders are not looking to profit for themselves, but to give something to the breed.

There are other breeders who may or may not love the breed they're working with, but their goal is not to invest any more effort, time and money than necessary because that will affect their profit margin.

They either don't know or don't care that there is a defined standard and best practices to follow.

The puppy you'll hopefully spend many happy years with starts with the breeder.

This is such a good idea to consolidate it into one post! There are people on other forums always asking for rec's and I send them here, but I know it takes some time to search and questions don't always get a ton of attention. My breeder is already on the list.
I don't have personal experience but I've heard good things about Crystal Creek Standards in Indiana, Oakridge Standards in Washington, Properts Way in New York and Cosmic Caliber in Kentucky. (please correct me if I'm mistaken about any of these)
There is a FB group dedicated to reputable breeder advertisements that could be a good place to find more for the list. But I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention other "forums" here.

Thanks for the leads. If they do the appropriate health testing, I'll add them. This list will be for guidance, not endorsement necessarily. The rest of the due diligence must be on the future owner. PF can help by offering information on what to look for. It's ok to refer to other sites like the FB groups which support specific needs. There is FB group of breeders who must do health testing to join. It may be the same one and I have that link in another list.
I'll add that as a resource since the searcher must join the group.

Ok so this time I'm compiling a list to use as reference when members ask for breeder recommendations. I know that even with everybody helping, it won't be a comprehensive list, but it'll be a big help. Names can be added easily enough.

If you have worked with or know of a breeder that does the genetic and other health testing appropriate to variety as a minimum standard, and you would want to see their name on a collected list rather than strewn all over PF, please respond with their name and location, and the link woud be cool, too :)

This thread is intended just to get the names, variety, and location.

I know I've missed some of our breeder members, and some often recommended breeders, but I'm far from finished. This is what I have so far:

Great idea! Thank you for doing this. I am the breed referral person for the Enchanted Poodle Club (Albuquerque, New Mexico). I am attaching the doc that I use when someone asks for a referral. The format is: Name, Kennel Name, Varieties, location, phone, email, web site. I have not finished the list yet - as you can see - California is blank. When someone asks for a referral, I tailor the list to the variety they are looking for. I always include the section on health testing.

If anyone wants this list in MSWord format, I would be glad to provide it.

Thank you so much for this!

I thought about different approaches to compiling the list and decided to keep it simple by including breeders so long as they do the correct health testing by variety and the results or links are available thru the website. My thinking is that if they're investing in their dogs and the breed by doing the testing, they are more likely to meet other criteria for conscientious breeding.

Just by going thru posts with breeder recs, old and new, then looking at the websites, I'm learning of breeders that don't get mentioned often but are definitely worth a look.

I know this is a limitation by using websites as a reference but as an outsider, I don't have much else to go by.

Crystal Creek Standards in Indiana!

She does all the testing, huge supporter of genetic diversity, does conformation showing and performance--the whole package. Partis and solids.



My youngster, Spice, is from her, and oh my gosh, he's like, the best dog I've ever had!

Thanks! This list may actually happen as I hoped!
Another I considered before getting Misha (litter timing wasn't ideal) was Eaglehill-South. Communication with the breeder was great.

Caught up I think and back now to poring thru PF for more mentions :)

I must be out of my mind. I'm also thinking we could use a list for grooming equipment and supplies rec's along with additional how to videos.

I've used up a portion of the allotted after 24hrs edits so I'll be collecting them to add, hopefully, several at a time.

Thanks for the help!
Serious breeders and mentors. This is where my Tonka came from. Diane and Peter will take you as deep into the Poodle world as you care to go. They hold regular get-togethers and practice sessions for various trials.

All the breeders on the list I sent do health testing. I usually vet them by checking for their kennel name on the OFA site.

Thanks for the pointer. I've been following the links when provided on websites. Most end at OFA but a few link directly to the testing lab. I've been using the AKC look up and then going to OFA also, but it would be simpler the way you mention.
This is amazing. Thank you everyone.
