Breeder of Poodles

Meet the breeder

I'm Michelle T., the breeder behind Endearing Standard Poodles located in Kalamazoo, MI. I am a small breeding program that treats her Standard Poodles like family. All my adults are health tested with hip evaluations. My puppies are raised inside my home and know they are loved before they even leave my door. I take pride in what I do and if I can brag about anything it is a socialization that my babies get.

Q. & A. with Michelle

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I've always loved Standard Poodles they are smart and one of the smartest dogs out there. My best friend, Mary, was raising them and I decided to just give it a try years ago. I loved it so much that I just continued on with my program.
  • What makes your program special?

    They are family. They are worked with from day one. I feed them the best of the best and they are loved beyond any words could say. What makes us special is because we are family.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
