I'm Mason S., the breeder behind Silhouette Poodles located in Stoughton, WI. We are a small Standard Poodle Kennel located in Wisconsin. We strive to produce well rounded puppies that meet AKC standards. The parents of all our litters come with a genetic health panel as well as OFA health clearance. We want to produce a puppy you can enjoy for a long time to come.
Q. & A. with Mason
Why did you start breeding?
We had always enjoyed standard poodles, but never saw this adventure becoming our reality. When getting our first puppy, we were wanting a dog to venture into the world of conformation showing and purebred dog sports, we found a well balanced puppy and the rest is history.
What makes your program special?
Our puppies are born in our home and raised with lots of exposure appropriate to their development and age. We will evaluate all puppies on conformation and disposition, allowing us to place each puppy with the perfect family based on individual wants and needs.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
