I'm Connie U., the breeder behind Stone Run Standard Poodles located in Northampton, PA. We breed quality Poodles and love showing. We're proud winners of the PCA Poodle of the Year in 2019 & breed champion dogs! My puppies are raised in the house with my other Poodles. I use the New Skete method of raising puppies. This method promotes a strong bond between dog and owner. I breed my girls so that I can have a show puppy. I am a member of the Lehigh Valley Kennel Club and Lehigh Valley Poodle Club.
