Meet the breeder

I'm Wendy B., the breeder behind Providential Poodles located in Thrall, TX. Providential Poodles follow the Poodle Club of America (who sets the Poodle guidelines for OFA/CHIC) for health testing Standard Poodles. Specific tests performed with results are linked within each Providential Poodles' profile on our main website. Our puppies are completely raised inside our home, NEVER a kennel or 'yard'. This allows for only 2-3 litters per year as each puppy is nurtured to its individual potential. All puppies receive Early Neurological Stimulation during their first two weeks and are socialized methodically using Puppy Culture protocols so that each individual puppy will reach their full potential. We begin house training, crate training, grooming, leash, and overall manners. Providential Poodles puppies are a delight to bring home. Typically, Providential puppies join their new families at 10-weeks-old. Puppies will be fully examined by our veterinarian Dr. Judy Keller. They will be vaccinated following Dr. Dodds protocol or upon agreement (NRBA). Final puppy picks will be confirmed after modified Volhard temperament test. Limited AKC Registration (no breeding rights) is included as well as chip and chip registration. We offer a one-year health guarantee for genetic/inherited issues, and two-years for hips, assuming families provide appropriate vet care and nutrition for their puppy. Our goals are to breed healthy, happy, structurally correct Standard Poodles through health testing, using Better Bred genetic matching software and demonstrating the versatility of our Poodles through competing and obtaining titles in a variety of venues.

Q. & A. with Wendy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    RAINBOW (foundation Bitch) was originally trained to be a service dog and ended up being too petite for the job. She is and was the very best dog my family has ever had. As the service work was turned over to a much larger male, we tested Rainbow for diversity and were delighted to find she had a lot to offer the breed. I had a mentor that made sure I made the best decisions along the way.
  • What makes your program special?

    Preservation, diversity, health, and temperament, NO COMPROMISE.
  • 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 apricot, black, blue, brown, cream, red, silver, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Wendy was great at getting our questions answered about food, vaccines, medications. We received our puppy at 1.5 years old and he was already potty trained and knew so many things once we took him home (this is the age group we wanted). I recommend Providential Poodles!!!
