Kettle Cove Standard Poodle Puppies
Our puppies are purebred, well-bred, purpose-bred, happy, and healthy AKC Standard Poodles! We are drawn to the simplicity and consistency of a purebred and admire the history of the breed. We believe preserving the Standard Poodle breed includes preserving aspects of the breed that go beyond the show ring. Our priorities lie with continuing purebred poodles that show high levels of tolerance, willingness and eagerness to learn, uniformity, and a genuine drive towards being with their people and engaging in their people's activities.
As a general rule, we are not judgemental. We want our puppies to end up with people who want to train their dogs, want to care for them, love them, and share their pillow with them! We don't mind if you style them for the show ring, fluff them like a teddy bear doodle, or shave them down because they're too busy keeping up with you on the hiking trails. We don't mind if your family includes a (spayed/neutered) doodle or cross mix, or any other purebred because all dogs can be great. HOWEVER, fair warning, we can't promise that you'll ever want anything besides a poodle once you bring home and share life with a Kettle Cove puppy!
