We are dog lovers first and big poodle fans located in the upper corner of NE Pennsylvania (near NY state line).  We also have a sister program in Florida. We have always had dogs in our lives and Sue had poodles when she was young.  Our poodles are members of our families and live in our home.  We are dedicated to promoting the poodle breed both in the show ring, through canine companions, in donating blood for our local vet emergency center, and with a small breeding program.  Our Champion stud dog, Marty is fully health tested and was was analyzed on June 7, 2015, for potency and registered at 1 billion+ sperm.  He will retire from live breeding by the Fall of 2022 but we will have a limited amount of frozen semen after that for approved breedings.  We have gold status with our veterinarians with excellent references.  We love showing our poodles in the AKC and UKC show rings, at local charity and dog events, and in parades.  Our poodles do everything with us including hiking, swimming, hunting, canine companion, and showing.  They go in the car when the weather permits and get lots of great reactions from the public.  They are great ambassadors for the breed.  We love our poodles!  We meet ALL of the standards of a professional breeder specified is this terrific article written by this pet rescue professional:

Our puppies are raised in the house and are exposed to scents before they open their eyes, the sound a vacuum, loud noises, sensitivity handling, and other training techniques for temperament development. When they are mobile, they are given many toys and obstacles in their play area to challenge them and expose them to many things they will encounter in real life situations. They are also exposed to water in a kiddie pool and many different humans.  At 6 weeks they start crate training and will begin sleeping in their crate at night. Temperament evaluations are conducted regularly and vet check, weigh-ins, and socialization are part of our program.
