Co-Own

We occasionally offer co-ownership opportunities on select show and performance prospects. This allows dedicated partners to be part of our breeding and competition program while enjoying a top-quality poodle as a family companion. Co-owns are ideal for those who share our passion for structure, temperament, and drive, and who want to be actively involved in the world of conformation or performance sports.

Puppies Available 

We currently have puppies available from carefully planned litters bred for health, temperament, and versatility. Each puppy is raised using early neurological stimulation and socialization to prepare them for success in both the show ring and family life. Visit our “Available Puppies” page to see who’s ready to meet their forever families.

Guardian Home

Our Guardian Home Program offers the opportunity to provide a loving home for one of our breeding or performance dogs — either puppies or adults. Guardians receive a well-bred, fully-health-tested poodle at little to no cost, while partnering with us to help preserve and advance our lines. It’s a wonderful way to be part of the HD Poodles family and enjoy a top-quality dog as your own.

Get to Know Us

Elevating the Breeding Experience 🐩✨
At HD Poodles, we take immense pride in our exceptional AKC-registered breeding program, prioritizing the well-being and quality of our beloved dogs. As proud participants in the AKC’s “Bred with H.E.A.R.T.” program, we adhere to the highest standards of health, education, accountability, responsibility, and tradition.
Here’s what sets us apart:

Ethical Breeding Practices 🌟 Our commitment to producing AKC Standard Poodle puppies with limited AKC papers centers around genetic health, temperament, and adherence to breed standards.

Comprehensive Healthcare 🩺❤️ Each HD Poodle undergoes a thorough vet check, receives age-appropriate shots, and undergoes deworming. Our meticulous vaccination protocol, starting at 8 weeks and recommended by Dr. Jean Dodd, ensures their well-being.

Holistic Puppy Rearing 🌱🐾 We go beyond raising puppies; we nurture them with Puppy Culture, Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), and Early Scent Introduction (ESI). Following the rule of 7’s, we introduce them to various stimuli for comprehensive socialization, preparing them for their new homes.

Transparent Pricing Secure your spot with a non-refundable $500 deposit. Discounts are available for returning puppy owners.

Personalized Puppy Placement 🏡 Responsible breeding extends to placing puppies. Temperament tests at 6 weeks guide us in matching puppies with suitable families, prioritizing therapy/service prospects. Note: We do not guarantee self-taught service dogs or specific colors.

Lifetime Support 🌟 Our commitment doesn’t end when your puppy leaves. We offer lifetime breeder support, encouraging delayed spay/neuter for optimal health. Returning puppy owners receive special discounts on their next HD Poodle.
