    After having what I'd call average family dogs over the years, bringing home a well-bred Standard Poodle from Grace Poodles has been a night-and-day difference. We truly have been blown away. Our little boy, Ghost, is only 10 weeks old, but he has exceeded every expectation we had. Thanks to Toni's guidance, potty training has been incredibly easy, and crate training has gone much smoother than we ever imagined. Ghost is so well-behaved, eager to learn, and incredibly easy to train. He already walks nicely on a leash most of the time, listens well, rides happily in the car, is comfortable around people, and wasn't bothered by loud noises because Toni had already exposed him to so many everyday experiences before he came home. His first veterinary visit was perfect—a clean bill of health with no worms or any other issues. That gave us so much confidence that he had been given the best possible start in life. If you've never owned a Standard Poodle before, I honestly can't recommend one enough. They are unbelievably smart, loving, and such wonderful companions. We knew poodles had a reputation for intelligence, but experiencing it firsthand has been amazing. Just as important as Ghost himself has been our experience with Toni. She genuinely loves every puppy she raises. She is kind, patient, understanding, and always willing to answer questions, whether it was before we brought Ghost home or now that he's part of our family. Knowing that we can still reach out to her whenever we need advice means so much. If you're looking for a breeder who truly cares about producing healthy, well-socialized puppies and supporting their families long after they go home, I wholeheartedly recommend Grace Poodles. We couldn't be happier with Ghost, and we are so thankful we found Toni.

    We are so happy to have Spring (now BangWool) in our family. It’s only been three days, but it’s already clear how much love and care your family put into raising her. She was already so well-socialized and comfortable with people — that doesn’t happen by accident. We really appreciated all the training videos, photos, and updates you shared with us along the way. It made such a difference knowing exactly what to expect and how to prepare for her arrival. She is settling in beautifully and we couldn’t have asked for a better breeder. Thank you for everything!

    Toni was extremely helpful in helping us find the right puppy from her various litters. Our new pup is so healthy and already has clearly received some training. Arranging pickup halfway between our house and hers was easily setup and completed without a hitch, including a very helpful parking lot conversation covering many pertinent details. Our new companion is fitting in nicely and learning the ropes of being a good citizen in our household quickly. I highly recommend using Toni as your source for a great puppy. Gooddog has also been a good source for our getting up to speed to bring in a puppy to our home.

    The experience of buying our puppy through Toni was fantastic! On top of the weekly pics and videos of our dog, she has so much informative online content. She was very responsive from the beginning all the way to now, weeks after we took our puppy home. Our poodle came home so well adjusted for just two months on this planet. We would highly recommend using Grace Poodles.

    Two weeks ago today, we picked up our brown and white male standard, “Cane”- now “Marco”, from Toni from Grace Poodles. Marco is our 4th standard poodle. I looked at breeders on Good Dog from SC, NC, Ga and Florida. I kept coming back to the videos Toni posted showing how she handles the puppies in preparation for handing over to the new family beautiful, calm, well adjusted puppies with already a wonderful foundation of the basic behaviors. I was blown away with the love and attention these puppies received from Toni and her family. Marco sits, lies down, waits for command to walk through doors, working on stay, rides very calmly in the car and after the first 2 nights, sleeps through the night in his crate with no accidents. We live on a golf course and he is so curious and calm he will watch the golfers and not bark! He is by far the most chill and well mannered puppy we have gotten. We follow Toni’s suggestion to continue feeding him by hand. We play pass the puppy and he’s recognizing his name. He enjoys 2 sniff and stroll walks a day around our circle. I highly recommend watching the many videos Toni has posted because I always see something that really helps us with training Marco. We are so pleased and happy with our little guy and it’s all thanks to Toni and her family and the amazing way they handle these beautiful puppies so they can become wonderful family pets! Thank you!
