Sebtus Poodles · Established 2009

Meet Livia.
A quieter kind of company.

White Standard Poodle · Female · Companion pet

Livia has a gentle way of asking for affection. With familiar people, she comes in close and waits for pats and kisses. She enjoys playing with a toy in the paddock, then settling on the veranda.

We’ll talk about your home, her needs and whether you suit each other. Start with a free enquiry—no account, payment or booking required.

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.

Sebtus Academy

You don't have to work it all out on your own

Learn to brush, bathe and care for your own dog with me beside you. Sebtus families and owners whose dogs came from elsewhere are welcome.

01 · Grooming

Learn to care with confidence

Know which brush to use, how to work through the coat and when your dog needs a break. Our small-group Groom Your Own Dog workshop gives you guided practice.

02 · Everyday life

Build a routine that works

Bring one everyday question, such as helping your dog settle or feel more comfortable being brushed. I’ll talk through what you can practise at home.

Ask about everyday guidance
03 · A thoughtful 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.

Our responsibility

“We are not interested in placing the greatest number of puppies. We are interested in helping the right dog and the right people build a lasting relationship.”

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.

Support where it matters
