Melissa Clegg was a pleasure to work with! We are so happy to have our new fluffy friend, we named him Teddy. We can tell she worked with Teddy before we got him. Teddy is working on learning new tricks. Thank you Melissa, it was great meeting you!

I can't say enough good things about Melissa Clegg. In a world where puppy scams flourish, we're so fortunate to have gotten our puppy from Clegg Poodles. Melissa is a pleasure to work with. Kind, responsive, caring. I wouldn't hesitate for an instant to recommend Clegg Poodles. Our new puppy is adorable. Most puppies are. Finding a great breeder is less common than finding a great puppy.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
