Meet the breeder

I'm Karen P., the breeder behind Karen's Poodles located in Koosharem, UT. For over 14 years, we’ve bred exceptional AKC Standard Poodles focused on health, temperament, intelligence, and structure. Puppies raised in a loving home with children, receive early socialization. We are committed to responsible breeding and lifelong support for our puppy families.

Q. & A. with Karen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    "I got started with animal breeding as a teenager on my family's farm. We bred horses and goats, which gave me hands-on experience with animal husbandry, genetics, breeding selection, and caring for livestock from birth through maturity."
  • What makes your program special?

    My breeding program is built on quality, hands-on care, and early development. I carefully select the males I pair with my females and personally assist with every puppy's delivery. Each puppy receives (ENS), is exposed to a variety of sounds, textures, smells, and experiences, is socialized with children, and begins grooming training at 4 weeks, including bathing, drying, and trimming.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include sable and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Good level

Karen's Poodles reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Standard Poodles.

  • Hip Dysplasia (rDVM, not registered)

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Disease Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
