Meet the breeder

I'm Tina S., the breeder behind A & A Pinedale Standard Poodles located in Nottingham, MD. Our motivation in breeding is to create the best possible puppy in structure, health, temperament, and beauty. Our dogs are fully OFA/PenHip/Embark health tested and heavily AKC/CPE titled in performance sports. Our puppies are excellent performance (obedience/rally/agility/trick dog/Fast CAT) prospects as well as companion pets!

Q. & A. with Tina

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I decided to breed my female Poodle back in 2014. Since then, I have tried to create and improve puppies and offer the best Standard Poodles in Maryland. Our dogs are health tested, & OFA cleared before breeding.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our goal is to create the best possible poodle that can be found and offer quality puppies for families everywhere. We are always trying to improve what we have. All of our dogs live in our home, lay on our furniture, and sleep with us and our children who need a sleeping buddy. There are only one to two litters per year, and our females retire after their third litter.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include apricot, black, brown, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
