Meet the breeder

I'm Megan C., the breeder behind Mere Point Poodles located in Belgrade, ME. I'm a small breeder who enjoys exploring the outdoors, training, and sporting with my dogs or relaxing with them. One of the most rewarding parts of my program is matching puppies with families based on their needs, goals and lifestyle. While watching all MPP puppies grow up and develop into partners.

Q. & A. with Megan

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My background in animal breeding began with Maine Coon cats and Appaloosa horses. After bringing home my first Standard Poodle, Rosie, I quickly fell in love with the breed's intelligence, versatility, and trainability. What began as a desire to produce a few quality litters grew into a commitment to breeding healthy, purposefully raised Standard Poodles

  • What makes your program special?

    Our focus extends beyond producing healthy puppies. We intentionally select for temperament, resilience, recovery, human focus, and trainability while utilizing ENS, ESI, Avidog, and Puppy Culture protocols. Puppies are raised in our home with socialization, enrichment, and foundational training designed to prepare them for companion, sport, therapy, service work and more.

  • 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 are parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Megan

Megan has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Megan partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 7 weeks old.

“At Mere Point Poodles, our goal is to place each puppy in the home where they are most likely to thrive. Beginning around 7 weeks of age, puppies are evaluated for temperament, confidence, recovery, structure, and overall suitability for different lifestyles and goals. For families seeking a service dog prospect, additional consideration is given to puppies who demonstrate the qualities typically associated with successful working dogs. While no breeder can guarantee a puppy will ultimately become a service dog, thoughtful evaluations help identify the most promising candidates. Once service dog placements have been considered or Matched. The remaining puppies are matched with approved homes based on deposit order, temperament, lifestyle compatibility, and each family's goals are respected whenever possible. our priority is creating the best long-term match for both puppy and owner. We do not place puppies based solely on color, markings, or gender. Instead, we focus on the individual puppy and the home that will allow them to succeed as a beloved companion, sport partner, or future working dog. While the majority of our puppies are placed in companion, sport, therapy, and service-minded homes, we may occasionally consider select breeding and show homes. These opportunities are offered very sparingly and only to individuals who share our commitment to preserving and improving the Standard Poodle. All breeding prospects are placed under a structured agreement with clear expectations for health testing, genetic screening, temperament, and titles. Before breeding rights are granted, dogs must meet the requirements established by Mere Point Poodles, including earning appropriate titles and obtaining all recommended health clearances necessary to achieve a CHIC number. Our goal is to ensure that every dog carrying the Mere Point Poodles name contributes positively to the future of the breed.”

    Megan is a dream to work with. She is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable about the breed and each dog in particular. We have had lots of questions arise as we adopted Persephone as a teenager with already established patterns. It is clear that Megan loves each dog for their unique qualities and cares deeply about their well being and the home/family into which they will be adopted.

    Well it has been 3 weeks since I made the trip to Belgrade to meet my new pup. He is such a gentleman. He learned his new name quickly and figured out a lot about the house and me. The only thing that we have to work on is the cats. Right now I’m letting the cats figure that out. But we are walking almost daily and going for drives. The house doesn’t feel empty anymore.

    I found Mere Point Poodles on the Website Good Dog. Megan was awesome to work with. She made the whole process very easy! It is so obvious that she loves her dogs because Wanda (the puppy) was very well socialized and responsive. My 16 and 1/2 year old poodle recently crossed the rainbow bridge and my dog Ginger was moping around and would hardly eat. But now that she has Wanda to play with. She and I are both happy again. I would recommend Good Dog and Mere Point Poddles to anyone looking for a new poodle puppy! Thank you Megan!

    Megan responded quickly to questions. She asked questions, too, then suggested that her puppy, Margret would be a fit for our household. She was right. Margret is our lovely new puppy.

    Megan has been great to deal with. She was very knowledgeable and helpful with all of our puppy questions: before, during, and after the adoption process. We are glad to have found her through Good Dog, as we are so thrilled with our new companion.

    I have nothing but good things to say about Megan and her dogs! She always responded to my questions and messages within 24 hours and worked extremely hard to make sure my experience was pleasant! Mere Point Poodles had everything I was looking for- excellent reviews & recommendations, local, and ethical. I’m very impressed at the level of tested each prospective dog must go through before being cleared for breeding. Megan is one of maybe four breeders in the New England area that met my standards- ALC registered, OFA testing, Volhard temperament tests for the pups, etc. Megan at Mere Point poodles will help you find your fur-ever friend and place you with the puppy best suited for your needs. Family friendly and absolutely stunning, I couldn’t be happier with my pick!
