Shandy Poodle

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 and be lifelong well adjusted family members.

• What makes your program special?

  Our Poodles are family members; breeding is minimal and is kept to only 1-2 litters per year. I give each litter my utmost attention. They are introduced to Early Neurological Stimulation, Early Scent Introduction and a variety of sounds and textures and movement to explore. I introduce early training to each litter including basic manners, potty training, crate training and methods incorporated to reduce resource guarding behaviors. They are socialized with children, adults and our other family member dogs to help them become highly successful members of your family. I follow the Puppy Culture program and am also a professional dog trainer (CPDT-KA)and am always available to help guide in the training of your puppy into adulthood. As well as my guidance, each puppy goes home with a copy of the Puppy Start Right book to help guide you with your puppy’s early training.
