Meet the breeder

I'm Manuela K., the breeder behind El Silencio Standard Poodles located in Middlebourne, WV. When adopting a puppy from us, I want it to be a pleasant experience for all involved. All of our puppies are raised in our home. At El Silencio Standard Poodles, we take pride in breeding healthy, happy, and well-tempered puppies at affordable prices. Transportation available depending on location.

Q. & A. with Manuela

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Over the years, I found myself drawn to the elegance, intelligence, and joyful spirit of the Standard Poodle. What began as admiration quickly turned into dedication, and I eventually began a responsible breeding program focused on health, temperament, and structure. Breeding Standard Poodles has become not just a passion, but a way of life—one that brings me immense pride and purpose every day.

  • What makes your program special?

    What makes my program special is the combination of heart, science, and dedication behind every puppy. I focus on producing healthy, well-socialized, and structurally sound Standard Poodles—especially Phantoms and Phantom Partis. My puppies are raised in a loving, enriched environment with early neurological stimulation, puppy culture principles, and extensive handling from day one.

  • 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 parti and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Manuela has raised our new puppy better than we could have hoped for! Louie (Willie Nelson was his litter name) checked out great at the vet. He was a little timid the fist 24 hours we had him (who wouldn’t be after being removed from your family) but he quickly came out of his shell and is an amazing boy. He is playful, curious and cuddly. We have had him 5 days and already he knows sit and stay. Working on crate training but in the meantime we use the alfalfa box that Manuela has trained him on making our nights a bit easier. We put the box and his bed in our bathroom adjacent to our bedroom with a baby gate so he can see us. Some crying but at least we know if he needs to go he has his box. He is strikingly handsome in his coloring and will be a beautiful adult poodle. We are so happy we found Manuela and Louie. We are so happy to have a standard poodle back in our home!
