Q. & A. with Tish
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding by being involved in the dog sport community and became intrigued by attributes of different breeds. My initial experience with the Standard Poodles won my heart over. Their impressive intelligence, and beauty along with non shedding and hypoallergenic qualities puts them at the top for me. My goal in breeding is to produce well tempered and well adjusted standard poodle puppies that will assimilate into their new families as easily as possible.
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are family members; breeding is minimal and will be kept to only 2 litters per year. We give each litter our very best and utmost attention. They are introduced to Early Neurological Stimulation, Early Scent Introduction and a variety of sounds and textures to explore. They are socialized with children, adults and our other family member dogs to help them be highly successful members of your family.
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, cream, red, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Shandy Poodle reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Standard Poodles.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Full Embark Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
