Thoughtful matching

The right poodle is more than a colour or size

Choosing a poodle is emotional, but a successful placement requires more than falling in love with a photograph.

Confidence, sensitivity, energy, recovery, social style, grooming tolerance and the ability to settle all influence whether a dog will genuinely suit a household. We take time to observe the individual poodle and understand the family before recommending a match.

Find your companion

When you are ready for a poodle, start with your family and the life you hope to share. Baby puppies and occasional older puppies each offer a different beginning.

Connection grows in ordinary family life

The everyday moments matter: learning together, feeling understood and knowing support is there as your dog grows.

An occasional opportunity

A little older. More time invested.

Some puppies make us want to see just how far they can grow. We occasionally keep selected puppies longer because of their wonderful temperament and potential, continuing their training, handling and everyday foundations.

When one is ready for a family, it can be a lovely beginning for someone who isn't ready for the baby-puppy stage. These opportunities are not always available.
