Plateau Family Poodles

Q. & A. with Leisa

• Why did you start breeding?

  We knew it was time for a new family pet. From the time I was little there was seldom a time in my life that I did not have a family dog. We talked to our vet a.k.a our middle child. After much discussion about breeds, it became clear that Standard Poodles are THE BEST all around breed and we wanted to make them popular again. Everyone knows they don't shed, but they have so much more going for them. They are recognized as the 2nd smartest dog breed of all so naturally that makes them very easy to train. We have two from our "family" that are going back to their roots as retrievers. They continue to be calm, loving and cuddly while they train to retrieve water fowl. Even as a young pup, our momma dog attached herself to my elderly mom as a sort of therapy dog. And don't forget, there hair is fun to try different styles on. Everyday we know we made the right choice in Standard Poodles.

• What makes your program special?

  We are a very small in home breeder. (the first puppy from this litter was born in our bed, oops) Our momma's health and well being has always taken first priority. We stay right by her while each puppy is born. The sire also belongs to our family and is well loved and cared for. Since our vet is a family member, they are checked soon after birth and checked often. Each puppy is loved on several times a day to make sure they are socially ready for a new loving home.
