This completed questionnaire will help me pick out the very best puppy for you, your family, and your lifestyle. My Poodle puppies deserve the best.  The best homes.  The best owners.  The best food.  The best love.  

As a breeder, I've spent countless hours researching pedigrees, dogs, doing health tests, attending dog related activities to ensure that the puppies I produce are high quality, healthy, and sound.   In other words...an excellent companion for your family.

Combining this questionnaire along with a puppy aptitude test, will assist me in matching your family with just the right puppy.

It is important for you to realize that you do not have to be a professional Poodle person in order to purchase a dog from me.  You don't even have to have experience with Poodles - only a genuine desire to make one a member of your family!   

If your first impression is that I am too picky...GOOD,  I am very selective on my puppy's forever homes, they deserve the *best* homes possible
