Meet the breeder

I'm Wynne E., the breeder behind Great Lakes Poodles located in Tawas City, MI. Our breeding program started with one small litter that turned into a fulfilling, lifelong passion! We believe there’s no greater joy than providing families with a loving canine companion. Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, and intelligence. Many of our poodles are trained as service dogs.

Q. & A. with Wynne

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always been an animal lover. My love of the poodle breed started fifteen years ago with our first standard poodle-Dasher. My family and I have been breeding miniature and moyen poodles for ten years. We like the smaller size and strive to perfect the poodle breed.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our poodles have had their DNA tested through UC Davis and PawPrint Genetics. None of our dogs are carriers for commonly known disorders. Tests have been done on eyes, hips, and elbows. All of my dogs have been tested and scored for diversity. When considering any dog, it is best to research and ask questions. I am happy to share what I have learned.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include miniature and moyen sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include sable, apricot, black, blue, brown, cream, red, silver, parti, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    I got my Moyen Poodle Ember from Wynne at Great Lakes Poodles. The whole process was very easy and efficient. My puppy Ember had to be transported to Cleveland and was at a more than reasonable rate. I was a little nervous about getting a puppy I was not able to meet yet but Wynne’s knowledge and expertise about the breed and the puppy herself gave me great comfort in purchasing her. Ember was as beautiful as her photos and her behavior was exactly what I was told to expect. Ember is a very smart poodle it obvious Great Lakes Poodles maintains high standards for breeding their puppies. I couldn’t ask for a better puppy she has been an absolute joy and very easy to train. I highly recommend Wynne and Great Lakes Poodles.
