Standard Poodle Breeders Are Wonderful

By Lora Jones


Finding standard poodle breeders is not difficult if you know where and how to look. The Internet has a lot of resources for finding the right ones. Call them and ask what pups they have for sale. Determine whether or not you want a male or female. You may also want to get a pup when they are older. Most breeders sell them at eight weeks of age which some people think is too young.

Sadly, many breeders take the puppies away from their mother too soon. This is just because they will sell more that way. This is not good for the puppy as it deprives them of what they need which is nurturing and attention. Trust your gut instinct when you call around. You may have a good or bad feeling. It is usually right so trust it.

Poodles require a lot of attention because they are very intelligent. They have a sharp memory and can learn things very easily. Evaluate your availability before you buy one. If you get attached after you get one, it will be a very hard situation to be in. Avoid this is best by deciding this before you get it.

In regards to pricing, ask the breeder their rates. Make sure you can afford the cost of the puppy and all the vaccinations and dog food that you will be buying. The American Kennel Club ensures that pups that have parents that are both from a strong lineage are registered. You can get this, too. Just ask the breeder if their pups are AKC registered.

Ask what the price is and make sure you can afford it. This will not be all you have to pay for. You will also have to buy dog food and get the dog immunized on a regular basis. They will also most likely have a contract that you will need to sign. Keep track of your records because it is like a receipt in case you have to prove that you paid for the dog at a later date for some reason.

Call around to various professionals to get an idea of what is out there. Do not just settle for the first thing that comes your way. There are listings in many places such as pet stores, classified ads online and in newspapers, friends and family and other forms of word of mouth, and online websites that you can search for if you do a diligent search.

This type of interest can be fun for your whole family. If you have children, ask them to help you pick a puppy out that you wall want and that you have an affinity to. You may have this critter in your home for many years so it is good to have a good rapport with him or her from the very beginning.

Finding the right standard poodle breeders is not hard if you know where to look. Try not to travel too far away from your home if you can avoid it. This will help you save gas. If you must travel, however, it will be worth it for your new family member. Investing in this will be well worth it.
