Poodles By Cooki

With that, I am quite aware of what’s out there, especially as of late. Since the ongoing events of 2020, many folks have seemingly jumped to try their hand at what I refer to as an art, but what certainly must be described as the science of proper dog-breeding. Even before the pandemic, the horror stories I’ve heard of puppies bought from "breeders" or mills that come home sick, impoverished, and inaccessible to their humans was, and still is, astounding. Many families are traumatized when the puppy they’ve grown to love dies far too early due to improper breeding and inbreeding practices. It is through meticulous study and practice, along with the experience of 30+ years, that I hold our puppies, and myself, to the highest of standards.

Time is invaluable. Wisdom, priceless.

Since I broke my neck last August I've been forced to make many difficult decisions — that along with the rising costs of maintaining the standards I've set for my parents and our babies, AND in continuing to distinguish my puppies from those of a more questionable quality...I must continue to justify the means of which I appeal to certain hopeful-puppy families...I prefer quality, loving homes that match each of my babies when they leave me. It's not so much business as it is a quality of life and sequence of events. I have many questions of if those folks who so 'willy-nilly' adopt any dog really understand and value what it means to take a life in as part of their family, particularly a Poodle, who in all likelihood will live for 15+ years

Before Poodles in 1991, all throughout the 80’s my husband and I bred and showed Doberman Pinchers (we won many shows too), of which I learned that breed-specific practice from my parents before me. Not surprisingly, much could be applied to the Poodle breed, although the Poodle maintains certain idiosyncrasies and nuances that do indeed separate them from all other breeds.

I question those breeders who dabble in multiple and mixing of breeds. The Poodle alone possesses an innate sense of knowing exactly what you need at any particular moment—an ’intuition’ that runs right along the line of human sense and it’s what truly makes them "man’s best friend."

Today, it is indeed a family affair as my husband, son, daughter-in-law, and I still tend to our beloved poodles, each of which hold center-place in our hearts and brings us all together as a family.

“A house is not a home without a poodle."

Over the decades, I’ve learned as much as anyone could about the magnificent Poodle breed, but I’ve learned even more so of life and love from them.

It is my will to share such precious experience with your family as you welcome in your new, perfect, Poodle baby.

From the moment they’re born our puppies are loved. We devote our lives to them and their mother, midwifing and caring for each of them while making sure they’re comfortable and that their needs are always met.

Our babies are born and raised in our home with us, and receive lots of human interaction. They become familiar with the day to day of our home (like doorbells, other people, vacuums, the yard, etc.) and adapt to life, learning from their surroundings, and advance both mentally and physically. My babies leave me crate-trained, knowing their names, and aware of where to potty (trained for outside), with all their wormings, up-to-date shots, health exam and certified Florida health certificate.

My puppies are second to none—their lineage is strong, not only in looks, but in demeanor and intelligence too. We're known for beautiful temperaments that extenuate a kind, calm, composed and loving spirit, with the stunning looks to match, strong coats that are rich in color, and have had many support, therapy, and alert dogs from our litters over the years.

Each week you’ll receive updates of your puppy, including professional-grade photos and high-quality videos so that you may share in some of their firsts, watch them grow, and connect with them all before bringing them home. Consider this their official ‘baby book’ complete with joyful memories to last a lifetime.

My puppies are toy and mini Poodles. Absolutely NO mixes. Expect my toy-sized babies to grow to between 7 and 11 pounds and mini-sized pups to grow to between 12 and 16 pounds-plus. All pups are CKC registered.

As for your puppy’s health, your baby’s exam will be conducted and issued by a board-certified Florida veterinarian. The health-exam certifies all wormings, it will be the administration of their first shots and vaccines, and also a thorough exam certifying their healthy status. This does mean the puppy is healthy at the time of pick-up and that, so far as then (6-7 weeks old), the pup is clear of any apparent genetic issues and worms too.

Pick-ups are initially arranged when you match with your baby. Those dates are particularly important. Once the puppies grow to a certain age, not so far beyond their scheduled pick-ups, they begin to imprint even more so to those who are in direct contact with them, specifically my family and I. You can imagine that as we imprint upon them, the same happens even more so upon us. In spite of how long I’ve been doing this, we as humans cannot help but to fall deeply in love with each of these adorable angels. The longer they stay with us, the stronger our bond becomes, and the harder it is to see them off—We’re already emotional seeing them go (very bitter and mostly sweet), but once they begin to see us as their humans it becomes even harder for us to let them go.

Beyond that, should this happen, once you take them home they may become nervous or unsure, less confident and worried that we are not there with them. This can be a detriment to their development and why I must strongly encourage you to adhere to the scheduled pick-up date. A fee will be applied for each additional week your puppy stays with us beyond their scheduled pick up date.

WE DO NOT SHIP PUPPIES. However, we do offer a proper delivery service to the continental U.S. which we’re happy to discuss. There is currently a flat fee of $1200.00 to deliver any one puppy. Your baby will fly in cabin with my son and will be properly taken care of, fed, walked, and soothed from my doorstep to yours.

Upon receipt of deposit, you will receive both a supply-list along with my "tid-bits" puppy manual: a what to expect when you’re expecting a puppy pamphlet that covers the A to Z of Poodle-puppy life.

While mostly all other questions are answered in there, I or my son, Michael, are practically always available for a chat, to answer any questions, and provide updates.

You are strongly encouraged to reach out, and we’re available to you even beyond the pick up of your baby.

Rest assured, our family is here with you. Once you adopt one of our babies, your family joins what I call our ‘Poodle-Puppy Family’. That’s lifetime access to both my son and I. Call, text, email any time!

Finally, all photos and media you receive from us is yours to cherish forever. You may choose to post, share, print — just about anything you’d like to do with what we share with you of your baby is fair game.
