    It went wonderfully with Toni from Grace Poodles. She was absolutely excellent 👌🏼, knowledgeable, and incredibly professional. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.🤩

    Toni has been amazing from the very start. As a first-time dog owner, I had a million questions, and she went above and beyond to guide me through everything — supplies, crate setup, grooming tips, and food advice, potty training, and even how to socialize my puppy safely before he’s fully vaccinated. She never made me feel annoying or inexperienced. She genuinely wanted me to feel confident and prepared. She was also incredibly flexible. I wasn’t able to pick up my puppy on the original date because I was going to be out of town, and Toni let me come a week later with no stress at all. She kept me updated the entire time and made sure Harrison was healthy, clean, and well-cared for before I brought him home. Since bringing him home, I can truly see how much love and time she puts into her puppies. Harrison is confident, curious, affectionate, and so well-adjusted — he sleeps well, is comfortable being handled, loves people, and is already showing how smart he is. Even when I had questions after pickup, Toni continued to be patient, reassuring, and incredibly helpful. This whole experience was stress-free, enjoyable, and honestly so comforting. Toni didn’t just give me a puppy — she gave me my best little friend, and I’m forever grateful to her for the care, honesty, and dedication she puts into her program. I couldn’t have asked for a better breeder or a better start to my puppy journey.

    We had a wonderful experience working with Grace Poodles. Toni is clearly a poodle expert and took great care to answer our questions quickly and thoroughly as we were trying to decide our next steps. I also really appreciate how she acclimated Bodhi to other people and environments before we took him home. He is able to ride in the car comfortably, meet new dogs without fear, play with our other dog, and meet new people respectfully (no jumping). He already had great manners when we got him and is very easy to train. Our kids adore him and so do we. He’s been a perfect addition to our family. If down the road we want another poodle, we will be going back to Grace Poodles.

    I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible experience I had with Toni and Joe. From the very beginning, their transparency and professionalism stood out in a way I haven’t seen with any other breeder—on or off the Good Dog site. They provided full genetic testing and certified health documentation for my puppy’s parents, which gave me complete confidence and peace of mind throughout the process. What truly sets them apart is their unwavering availability and support. As professional trainers, they were always open to answering my questions—both before and after the sale—and their guidance has already proven invaluable. On top of that, they went above and beyond by meeting me more than 100 miles closer to help with the long pickup trip. Toni and Joe are exceptional breeders, but even more impressive human beings. Thanks to them, I now have my amazing standard poodle, “Riker,” who has already brought so much joy into my life. Live Long & Prosper. 🖖

    I can’t recommend Graces Poodle enough! Toni was responsive to my questions and provided all the information I needed quickly. We picked Brulee(now Bordeaux). She met me at the airport and it was a smooth transition. Flew home with him easily. He slept the entire time. Toni texted me the next day to check in on us and I appreciate this. It shows she really cares for her work. Bordeaux is smart, playful and I love how he’s been acclimated as much as possible for a puppy. Car rides, noises, and other animals don’t bother him much. He’s curious but shows he’s very trainable. He’s learned “sit”, “lay”, and “side” within the 2nd week. He's doing fairly well on the leash too.

    Toni was so wonderful and easy to work with. She never hesitated to answer any of my million questions. Our sweet baby, Lainey (previously Zenaq) is amazing. She is so sweet, has the funniest personality, she is incredibly smart and so eager to learn. We love her so, so much and can't thank Toni and her family enough for creating such a wonderful foundation for our sweet girl.
