As indicated, Songbird is legit, and well respected. My Gracie has several Songbird dogs in her pedigree (attached). Gracie, age 2 1/2, is from Light n Lively in Staten Island, and I can’t say enough about how wonderful she is. Shaping up to be a good agility dog, competing in Excellent in AKC and Level 5 in CPE. Not bad for starting in the midst of a pandemic! She has a wonderful temperamen, is fearless, and so loveable. A consummate lapdog. She’s energetic for sure, but I wanted and expected that. Also very healthy, no issues so far, not a fussy eater, she is everything I wanTed and more.

The pandemic has affected everyone and breeders are swamped with requests, while trying to still title dogs with all the COVID restrictions. Don‘t settle….it is worth the wait for a well-bred poodle.

Pics of my Gracie, she has a mismark and can’t compete in conformation but I wanted her for agility, and of course a pet. She didn’t disappoint!

Hello Songbird Poodles here. Imagine my surprise when I happen to google my kennel name and find an inquiry asking if I was legit? I’d say yes
You need to understand that in June 2021 (mid Covid pandemic) reputable breeders getting 15-20+ inquiries per DAY! Many of us don’t have that many pups available in a year. I understand someone really wanting a dog but if I responded to all those inquiries I’d have no time for my actual job or family. So please don’t make assumptions. I wish you the best and hope you and yours are well.

Hi and Welcome to PF!

We are always happy when a breeder joins to speak for themselves. As you go on thru the thread, you'll see that your reputation as a quality, legit breeder is upheld .

We get a lot of folks joining who are only just learning about how to research breeders, so this opening query isn't uncommon. We do our best to help these members with their specific questions and what to look for - and avoid - in breeders.

A big misconception for folks new to all this is understanding that breeding, at its best, is not a business, not a livelihood, not a retail set up. Poodles are not a commodity, they're a calling.

It's people passionate about poodles and some lucky few of us get to share in their hard work.

Hope you drop by occasionally. We really like getting to know the breeders.

Welcome, @Songbird Miniatures! The original poster has not been back since starting this thread, but I do hope they log back in at some point and see your reply.

Regardless, it’s a good reminder for all potential poodle owners. Thanks for popping in and sharing your perspective.
