Meet the breeder

I'm Lonnie Y., the breeder behind Impressive Cartwright Standards located in Albany, KY. Every Puppy Deserves the Best Start in Life At our core, we believe that every puppy deserves a nurturing, enriching beginning. That’s why we go above and beyond from day one—providing expert care, early training, and a loving environment to help your new furry family member thrive for a lifetime.

Q. & A. with Lonnie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Several years ago I started my search for poodle that met the highest health standards. One that had been DNA tested to make sure the family member I was selecting wasn't carrying any known genetic health issues that would cause issues later in their life. I found this to be much harder than it should have been. And I wanted my program to be above average & change that by having higher standards!

  • What makes your program special?

    Our breeding program is special because we selected our fur family based on DNA genetic testing, temperament and high quality ancestry line. All of our puppies are DNA tested before going into their new FurEver home. Also, our puppies go through ENS and ESI starting at only a couple days old. Continuing throughout their time in our care. This provides for a more confident well rounded puppy.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include moyen and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include sable, black, brown, cafe au lait, cream, parti, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    I feel so fortunate to have used the Good Dog platform & come across Lonnie's breeding program/Impressive Cartwright Poodles. He's incredibly kind, knowledgeable, responsive, and has clearly taken the time to build an amazing breeding program. We love our puppy dearly & pur personal vet who is also a dog breeder has praised all of the parent testing & new puppy packet that Lonnie offers along with your fur baby. I also feel confident & thankful that Lonnie is accessible for guidance and wants to maintain updates on the dogs throughout their life... Cartwright Impressive Poodles is truly a labor of love for him.

    Lonnie was super responsive and amenable during visiting and pickup. He clearly knows each puppy and left no stones unturned as far as information on each puppy with plenty of testing. He helped chose the right puppy from the littler for me and I couldn’t be happier with my choice.

    Lonnie has been great! He was so responsive before we got Ziggy and continues to be willing to answer any questions I have. Ziggy is very smart and is catching on quickly!
