Meet the breeder

I'm Candace Y., the breeder behind Standard Poodles located in Lynn Haven, FL. We believe every puppy deserves to be raised like family. Our puppies grow up in our home with love, individual attention, and early socialization to help them become confident family companions. We provide high-quality food and closely monitor their daily growth, and always DNA-test.

Q. & A. with Candace

  • Why did you start breeding?

    How I Got Into Breeding My love for Poodles started when I was a little girl. I always dreamed of having one of my own, and that love only grew as I got older. Once I finally had the opportunity to bring Poodles into our family, I quickly fell in love with their intelligence, personalities, and the joy they bring to our home. Over time, that love grew into a passion for learning about the breed, responsible breeding, genetics, health, and what it takes to give puppies the best possible start in life. Eventually, I decided to turn that passion into a small home-based breeding program. We wanted to create a program where our dogs and puppies are truly part of our family. Breeding has allowed me to combine something I've loved since childhood with the joy of raising puppies and helping families find a new member of their own.
  • What makes your program special?

    What makes our program special is that our puppies are raised as part of our family from the very beginning. As a stay-at-home mom, I'm able to spend time with them every day, giving them the attention, care, and socialization they need during their earliest weeks. We focus on quality over quantity, closely monitoring each puppy's development with weekly health checks and tracking their weight from day 0 through day 21 to ensure they're growing and thriving. We feed high-quality food and are committed to giving every puppy the best possible start in life. Before any breeding takes place, our parent dogs are Embark DNA tested so we can make informed, responsible breeding decisions with health as a priority. We also love the beauty of rare Poodle colors and patterns, but we never let color come before health, temperament, or quality. Our goal is to raise confident, healthy puppies that become cherished members of their new families.
  • 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 silver and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Candace

Candace has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Candace partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“We want every puppy to go to the right family. Rather than simply choosing based on color or appearance, we take the time to learn about your family, lifestyle, experience, and what you’re looking for in a companion. As the puppies grow, we get to know their individual personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. We use that information to help match each puppy with the family where we believe they will thrive. Our goal is a happy, lifelong match for both the puppy and their new family. We’re always happy to answer questions and help you find the puppy that best fits your home and lifestyle.”
