Lauren J.

Breeder of Poodles

Meet the breeder

I'm Lauren J., the breeder behind Cheerful Poodles located in Versailles, KY. We are lifelong dog enthusiasts, and we’re excited to share our passion and purpose with others through our breeding program. We are a small, in-home breeding program where we prioritize giving each dog and puppy the best care that we can. We cherish all of our animals and enjoy sharing the love of this breed with other individuals and families!

Q. & A. with Lauren

Why did you start breeding?
We have amazing dogs and wanted to continue their blood lines. We knew that they would have wonderful puppies. They are both calm, smart and wonderful dogs. We wanted to help bring wonderful standard poodles into the world to make great family friends. Pure bred poodles have not been as popular due to so many cross breeds. We think poodles are amazing and want to see the breed thrive and continue.
What makes your program special?
Both male and female standard poodles are our family pets. The puppies are in a gated area in our family room. They get constant love and attention and stimulation. Tango and Winston have both been health and dna tested and they are 100% cleared of any health issues that could be passed along to the puppies. We bred our dogs for temperament and to have special pets for families.
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 black, cafe au lait, and cream. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
