Meet the breeder
I'm Erica A., the breeder behind Above Standard Poodles located in Grimsley, TN. When my Army Vet husband told me he really liked our Standard Poodle, I knew Standard Poodles were a special breed and we had to help more families fall in love with these dogs! My family and I are the breeders behind Above Standard Poodles. We are friendly, and outgoing and our puppies are too!
Q. & A. with Erica
Why did you start breeding?
Why each breeder starts breeding is a unique blend of very personal reasons. For me, I wanted something I could do from home, shoulder to shoulder with my kids. I wanted to teach my kids to work hard, to love deeply, and to handle loss and goodbyes with grace. Raising puppies together seemed like a perfect fit.What makes your program special?
I admire the breeders that have countless show titles - but I'm not them. I make sure all of our dogs conform to the breed standard, but I don't obsess about what wins shows. Because honestly, I care far more about the personality of the puppies. I strive to produce FRIENDLY poodles. I want you to get a puppy who is obsessed with you, and becomes part of your family.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, blue, brown, red, silver, parti, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
