COMPANION PUPPIES
As responsible breeders we strive to breed the best quality puppies in health, temperament and correct conformation. The best one or  two in a litter may be chosen for the show ring. Companion puppies are ones which  for some minor reason are not destined to be shown although they are just as intelligent, healthy, and lovely as our show dogs.

Companion puppies can participate in many activities through AKC such as obedience, agility and  rally . They can become wonderful therapy dogs.  Companion puppies are put in responsible homes on neuter/spay agreements with limited registration paperwork issued through AKC. Our poodles are maintained in a clean and loving environment. We raise each litter in the house with plenty of socializing . The puppies are handled from birth and given lots of mental stimulus.  We introduce them to grooming, travel, walks, various household and environmental sounds and interactions.

Our puppies are sold on a contract basis and we provide a health guarantee.  Expect to be thoroughly interviewed which may include a home visit.  Companion puppy prices can range greatly, do expect to pay more from breeders who test and guarantee their dogs.

Responsible breeders do recommended genetic testing on all breeding Poodles. These tests include Penn-hip or OFA certification for hips, eye exams for inherited eye diseases, full blood panel including thyroid function, skin punch biopsy for sebaceous adenitis, cardiac screening and DNA for von Willebrand's Disease. All testing is available on request.  Click here for Genetic Health Tests for Standard Poodles, Recommended by Versatility In Poodles.

LIMITED REGISTRATION
Expect poodle puppies to be sold on spay/neuter contracts and with limited registration. The dog is registered with the American Kennel Club, but the registration states on the certificate the dog is not a candidate for breeding (and if bred, the litter would not be eligible for AKC registration) or for showing in conformation. This is all agreed and decided prior to the sale of each pup. 

Educate yourself before you buy a new, special, family member. Many heartaches can be prevented with education and knowledge. Start with the websites of Versitility in Poodles and The Poodle Club of America .  You can find local poodle clubs through these resources and should absolutely contact the breeder referral contact closest to you.
