Ridgewood Standard Poodles

Catherine M.

Breeder of Poodles

Meet the breeder

I'm Catherine M., the breeder behind Ridgewood Standard Poodles located in Coweta County, GA. I offer beautiful, high-quality Standard Poodle puppies from health-tested parents who have solid temperaments and pedigrees. My puppies are raised in my home. I work very hard to expose them to as many different experiences as possible, so when they are ready to go to their new homes, they adapt quickly to anything new presented to them.

Q. & A. with Catherine

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My dogs are excellent representations of the breed, and I am proud to continue their line. I breed to help ensure the future of the Standard Poodle and to improve upon my dogs' fantastic traits with each generation.
  • What makes your program special?

    I hold myself to the highest standard when it comes to my dogs and my policies. I am thorough in health testing and caring for my dogs, and I make sure each puppy gets the socialization and care that it needs to thrive. My goal is to ensure that every dog that comes from my program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves my care.
  • 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 black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
