Q. & A. with Abbie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    OUR MISSION Anyone who has ever experienced the amazing love of a pet knows that the connection is sacred. Over the years there have been many amazing breeds of dogs who have been a part of our family. Looking for a new connection, we researched the Standard Poodle and Doodle breeds. After bringing home our 3 Standard Poodle females and Golden Doodle male pups in the summer of 2019, we quickly knew these breeds were for us. We have developed a true admiration for these dogs' athleticism intelligence and beauty. The Standard Poodles reputation as a foo-foo breed is so far from the truth. They are made for life on the farm, long hikes, water-loving fun, and couch snuggling! Add to that the benefits of the Doodles lovable compatibility and you have the perfect match! At Elevated Standards, we are committed to being responsible breeders who are committed to maintaining the integrity and our lines while matching our puppies with loving, forever homes.

    We adopted a Bernedoodle from Abbie. She provided weekly photos and videos of our growing puppy. Answered all our questions and was a pleasure to work with. Our puppy adjusted amazingly well to his new home. Had a clean bill of health at the vet. We couldn’t be happier with our boy!

    We found Abbie on the Good Dog site and from the beginning it was a wonderful experience. She did a FaceTime call with me within a couple of hours after I first contacted her so we could see the puppies. Her puppies were beautiful and her family does a wonderful job breeding them and getting the puppies ready for their forever home. She was very responsive throughout the entire process. She gave us updates and sent photos/videos each week. She gave us great information like the puppy’s schedule, food brand/type they were eating, and other helpful hints so we could be ready to bring our puppy home. I would highly recommend her as a breeder. She specializes in the poodle, Bernedoodle and golden doodle breeds and she limits the number of litters each year which in my opinion makes her top tier. We are looking forward to helping our Bogey grow into a sweet loving boy!

    Abbie from Elevated Standards went above and beyond in every possible way to ensure I felt confident and prepared before bringing my new puppy home. She was incredibly responsive, patient, and thorough in answering all of my questions, providing detailed information every step of the way. We video called multiple times so I could see my sweet boy, Fern, before pickup, and it was clear she truly cares about her puppies and the families they go to. Abbie truly does have a passion for these dogs and it’s incredible how much she juggles on a day to day basis. Abbie also shared excellent grooming tips, product recommendations, and valuable advice to set us up for success. Fern came to me with an amazing personality — happy, social, and extremely well-adjusted to all types of animals and people of all ages. His potty training was nearly flawless prior after pickup, which made the transition so much easier. It’s clear that Abbie puts an incredible amount of time, love, and dedication into raising her puppies, and it truly shows in their temperament, health, and confidence. I can’t thank her enough for giving me such a wonderful companion, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Elevated Standards to anyone looking for a healthy, happy, and well-raised Standard Poodle.
