Mithril Standard Poodles
Meet the breeder
I'm Carolyn C., the breeder behind Mithril Standard Poodles located in Texas. I am dedicated to breeding show quality Poodles. I am constantly educating myself and always strive to improve my program. I want to make sure I am informed and up to date on the newest information in the Poodle breed. I take pride in the dogs I produce and my program as a whole.
Q. & A. with Carolyn
Why did you start breeding?
In the summer of 1998, I had the unique opportunity to reacquire some Poodles I had whelped and sold; a boy and two girls. Before I made the leap from three to six Standards I made the decision to breed and show Standard Poodles full time when I retired from the military.What makes your program special?
It really is not enough for me to say that I have great dogs, a judge representing the collective expertise of the American Kennel Club must think likewise. I sincerely believe I am well down the path of proving my dogs' worth.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
