Meet the breeder
I'm Susan S., the breeder behind Spivey’s Splendid Standard Poodles located in Salisbury, NC. I breed Standard Poodles because of their intelligence, beauty, and versatility to train as therapy, service, or hunting dogs.
Q. & A. with Susan
Why did you start breeding?
I was first a cosmetologist and had a beautiful pair of AKC Dalmatians for our children. As my clients eventually started asking me to groom their dogs I became more interested in other breeds of dogs I had a pair of Ch whippets I bred twice and lived to 16 yrs old and several Champion Pekingese .What makes your program special?
I spend a great deal of time with my puppies since I no longer have the grooming shop. They are well-fed, vaccinated, Microchipped and Veterinarian checked before they go to new homes at 8-10 weeks of age. My breeding stock has had a DNA Genetic Health Screening Done and all came back Normal/Clear. I do not allow visitors until the puppies have had their first vaccinations.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include apricot, black, brown, cream, silver, and silver-beige. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
