About Nancy
All listing information is self-reported. Verify information before conducting business. Learn more here
Nancy is one of our retired Mommas. She looooved her job as a Mom and now without it, she’s going a bit stir crazy. We are not against keeping our retired Moms, but sometimes their needs are more than we can provide (especially if they consider child rearing an enjoyable job), and it’s kinder for some of them to move on into someone else’s hands.
Nancy gets extremely attached to her people and requires either a stay at home Mom or Dad (with or without kids…. She LOVES kids though) or someone who works from home. She would also do well with someone who can take their dog with them everywhere. She’s athletic and loves the car, so she could do well with someone who hikes or camps constantly and is always traveling. She just needs to be with her person or people. She BARKS otherwise. At times, incessantly. This is who she always has been. With us, she’s used to our program, our lifestyle, and the routine, so the barking has dropped to a minimum here, but she would love to be with someone or a family where she could have much more attention and time. …And she still barks here, it’s just only now for going out times… she gets SUPER excited and wants to go go go. She has pretty bad FOMO (fear of missing out lol). SHE BARKS. Lol
To be fair, she honestly probably would’ve done well as a working dog. She’s drivey, engaging, and just wants to do whatever her people are doing. Her most calm was when she had her babies… they really gave her something to do. To be honest, a family with kids would probably do her a world of good. She did go home recently, and she did amaaaazing with their young children, but unfortunately had to be returned because they live in an HOA and their neighbors complained about her barking when they left for work. She was quiet for them when they were home. They did try doggie daycare, but since she was still so new to them, too much change made her worse.
She is a very affectionate dog, and is house trained, crate trained, walks well on lead, grooms easily, and LOVES the car. She does still need to be spayed, but we’ve priced her at a point to help with that cost. She is a registered, full AKC poodle. She is currently groomed into a doodle cut, but can easily be changed into a poodle again. Please do not ask for breeding rights; she is RETIRED. We are also willing to waive the rest of her fee TO A GOOD HOME (we WILL be picky). She deserves it. Meeting in person is a must. Being within driving distance is a must. We will 100% take her back and WANT to take her back if she does not work out. She will be spayed by 6 if she is not homed before then.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Poodle - Standard Puppies
About Poodle - Standard Puppies
Are Standard Poodles a good breed to own?
France has been officially recognized as the Poodle’s country of origin, but the Poodle’s earlier ancestors came from central Asia. The German variety has probably influenced the modern breed most (‘Poodle’ is German for ‘splash’ or ‘puddle’). In 18th and 19th century Europe, the Poodle served a wide variety of purposes, including duck hunting, guiding, and later circus performing, from whence the modern grooming style likely arose. The Poodle became a popular pet for the French aristocracy, and in time was officially adopted as the national dog. Poodles were imported to America in the 20th century. They slowly rose in popularity and eventually became the country’s most popular dog. Famous Poodles include author John Steinbeck’s dog Charley, subject of the book ‘Travels with Charley: In Search of America’, and Weird Al’s Poodle Bela, who…uhm… sat on his head for the album cover of ‘Poodle Hat.’ Full-grown, they typically weigh 12-55 pounds and stand 10-15 inches tall.
Are Standard Poodles a good choice for families with kids?
Standard Poodles are generally excellent with children of all ages. The Standard Poodle gets along well with other animals, other dogs, and children. Standard Poodles are highly adaptable and make good watchdogs. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.
What kind of exercise do Standard Poodles need?

Are Standard Poodles high-maintenance when it comes to grooming?

Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
