Before you decide to work with a specific Moyen Poodle breeder, you should know a bit about them, their methodology, and their thoughts on health, temperament, puppy raising, and their background that allows them to successfully navigate all of those areas.
I have had poodles in my life since I was one year old. That picture below is me holding my very first poodle pup: a brown oversized toy named Cocoa. I have adored the breed ever since. I’ve had many different breeds sharing my life, but I have always had at least one poodle among them. Fair to say that they are my favorite breed of them all. I love everything about them: incredibly bright, sensitive yet not worried, confident, silly, playful, will always make you laugh, affectionate and loyal, have a sixth sense when something is wrong and are right there with you, and an almost human way of connecting with you. I’ve had all sizes: many toys, a couple of minis, standards, and of course, many moyen-sized poodles. While I have adored them all, I really do 
love the moyens the best. I feel they are the best of all worlds. Not a tiny dog that you need to be really careful with, but not such a big dog that you can’t pick them up if you really needed to. Big enough to feel like a “big” dog, small enough to be totally portable. They fit pretty much everywhere, too. ♥
I’ve been a professional dog trainer for 33+ years. I trained obedience and manners for a lot of those years, followed by years of training service dogs for physically disabled individuals. I took a bit of time off shortly after my son was born but then returned to training teaching obedience, manners, CGC (Canine Good Citizen) preparation and testing, therapy dog training, nose work, agility, trick training, and more.
I’ve been teaching people how to properly and successfully raise their puppies for a long, long time, so you have a great resource in me. I am available to my puppy families not only when they first bring their baby home, but for the dog’s lifetime. I am not the breeder who hands you your pup and that’s the end of our contact. Nope. I stay in touch and am always available for you for whatever you need. I pride myself on the relationships I build with my puppy families. It is incredibly important to me that they always feel that they can turn to me for anything they need, even long after their pup has grown up.
My pups are bred responsibly and raised carefully, with an eye toward training, socialization, calmness, and responsiveness. The puppies are handled from birth, handled often, loved on constantly, and raised in the house underfoot. This creates a pup who craves human affection and attention, is completely used to being handled, is 100% used to the activity of a household, and is, most importantly, confident and sure of himself and the world around him.
Like any other good Moyen Poodle breeder, I’m super careful about what dogs are bred. Potential parents must be fully health-checked for (and clear of) any common issues known in the breed, be reasonably calm, and be super sound temperamentally. If the dam and sire (mom and dad) are not dogs I myself would want to live with, they aren’t bred. Simple as that. 🙂
