About Us: My Story with the Isle of Standard Poodles

Before my first Standard Poodle, I bred Great Danes. I loved the breed, but I found my heart could no longer breed them due to the lack of buyer awareness regarding their habits and size. I still wanted an intelligent and loyal dog, like the Danes, but a dog that didn’t shed.

I also wanted a dog that would be protective, but not to the extent that I had to worry when neighbours or children came into the yard. After owning Bridgett for over a year, I decided I wanted to breed Standard Poodles. I was on the hunt for a stud.

I found the perfect dog from Lavia Kennels, and he had his Canadian Champion. His name was “Omar” Ch. Lavia’s Obvious Choice. He received his champion in just three weekends when he was 10 months old. He was handled by Peter Scott of Guelph, Ontario. Omar and I both loved and needed each other equally. He had a wonderful pedigree and was the smartest, kindest, and most loyal dog I had ever had the pleasure to own. He also had amazing social skills.

My goal was, and is, to raise healthy, affectionate poodles. I also want “forever homes” for all my wonderful puppies to go to. To ensure this, I practice the following:

• Study the characteristics and development of Standard Poodles
• Socialize all my puppies with lots of love and attention
• Have non-breeding contracts
• Potty training starts at four weeks old on artificial turf over a tray 
• Stair training starts at six weeks old with a couple of steps
• Raise all pups in my home
• Return policy
• Guarantee
