Epique Standard Poodles

Bern- a -doodle- the only acceptable kind (thanks Natalie )

Many people choose poodle mixes or "doodles" over purpose bred Poodles, because they "don't want them to look like a poodle" The good news is, Poodle hair can ...be groomed into just about any cut! If you prefer the pet "doodle" look, that's just a matter of having a conversation with your groomer! In this case, you CAN have your cake and eat it too! Get the benefits of a well bred, healthy dog from a responsible breeder, along with the cute haircut! Another advantage of a responsibly bred purebred poodle is consistency. You'll go into it knowing what size, hair type and temperament you're going to get! #purposebreddog #poodle #doodle #doglover #purebred #supportresponsiblebreeders #responsiblebreeder #dogbreeder #standardpoodle #poodlenotdoodle #adoptdontshop #adoptorshop

"Poodles are Labs with a college education. My Poodle will do anything your Labrador will do. After a day of retrieving in the field, your Lab wants to curl up ...and snore in front of the fire. My Poodle wants to be a fourth at bridge and tell naughty stories." Anne Rogers Clark, the famous handler, all breed judge and Poodle breeder. : John Carelli 2020

These are littermates - one was neutered pediatrically, the other left intact. Notice the permanent puppy-like body of the dog on the left. His head is narrow, ...his chest is narrow, his angulation is bad, he's taller than he is long because growth plates don't get the proper signals from testosterone or estrogen on when to close. This is what pediatric neuter does to your dog. It leaves them more susceptible to an incredible amount of health issues (joint issues, multiple types of cancer). Meanwhile, the only fact in favor of early neutering is to prevent unwanted litters which can be prevented by not letting your dog roam - something we should already be on top of as responsible dog owners. Dogs need hormones to grow and mature properly. Do your dog a favor and wait until he's completely matured before neutering! Dani Woodson
