Your Elite Pup

Julie R.

Breeder of Poodles

Meet the breeder

I'm Julie R., the breeder behind Your Elite Pup located in Manchester, MO. Raising puppies is a family activity for us. Pups leave our home potty trained, socialized, exposed to kids, adults, and adult dogs. We do early neurological stimulation starting at 2 days. All parent dogs in our program are health tested and have wonderful temperments. Whether you desire a family pet or a new addition to your program, we want to provide you with a top-quality dog.

Q. & A. with Julie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Our life revolves around our dogs and meeting their needs both socially and medically. We strive to bring you the healthiest, most well-rounded puppies. We are very proud to be breeding these incredible dogs. The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is truly the most rewarding experience.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our program is committed to only breeding dogs that we feel are excellent representations of their standard and will positively contribute to their breed and the families who love them. Our commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience; and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies. We pride ourselves on helping all of our clients find the right fit for their needs and lifestyle. We are passionate about Poodles, and our love for these dogs shines through in every aspect of our breeding program.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include apricot, brown, cream, parti, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

Getting a puppy from Julie

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and between $1,500 - $2,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Good level

Your Elite Pup reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Miniature Poodles.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Brucellosis

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • Full Embark Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
