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.

    Working with Abbie was an absolutely wonderful experience. She responded within minutes when I first reached out, and we were able to set up a video call the very same day. That’s when I met and chose my sweet little puppy. The deposit and payment process was simple and stress‑free, and Abbie stayed in touch every single week with photo and video updates until it was time to bring our little fella home. Even after pickup, she continued checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly. I would highly recommend Abbie to anyone looking for a caring, responsive, and trustworthy breeder.

    Abbie was really knowledgeable and has been super helpful throughout the process. She really does spend a lot of time and effort into exposing the litter to different environments. Our pup has been doing so well. Highly recommend Elevated Standards NC.

    We are crazy in love with our little Clause, aka Buck! He had a 2 hr ride home and did great, even napped off and on. He is so friendly and gives so many kisses and his tail wagging is a blur. His personality is shining through and we have Abbie to thank! It's so obvious she spends so much time with her fur babies. He came right into the house, ate, drank, pottied and is playing so hard. What a joy to have this new little guy in our family!!

    Abbie was amazing to work with! She was very responsive which brought us peace of mind. She gave us all the information about our sweet girls parents, pictures of siblings and of Lady. We are extremely grateful of them meeting us part way and cutting a couple hours off of our drive time! Lady has integrated well with her new brother (our Maine Coon) and we cant wait for all her shots to be done so she can join us for walks on our neighborhood beach! All in all, couldn’t speak higher of Abbie & elevated standards.

    Abbie was a pleasure to work with! She was extremely responsive and patient with all of our questions. We lived for the weekly pupdates on our sweet girl, Foxy!

    Alice S.

    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!
