In the words of poet and author Coleman Barks:

“Dogs are our teachers, with their faithfulness, their humility and their bounding unqualified welcome, when we come home. The wordless intimacy of how we are, with those beings, teaches us to give ourselves, wholeheartedly”.

Our Poodles , for over 40 years, have been our beautiful teachers of being , showing by example, how to love unconditionally, with compassion, and be in the moment.
Sharing a life of love and joy, with our Poodles has been an ongoing blessing.

Our Standard Poodles go beyond the show ring, to participate in Pet Therapy Programs, Rally Obedience and Agility. They are devoted, loving companions to their human partners.

The Standard Poodle is an old and noble breed, which merits dedicated preservation.

We intend to give back to the Poodle by commiting to stewardship in breeding practices.
Health , beauty, correct structure , sound movement and outstanding temperaments are
our priorities.
Health testing is a must. Results of health tests are posted by each Poodle’s picture and pedigree.
Those tests are OFA for Hips, CERF for eyes, DNA for VwD, Skin punch Biopsies for S.A., and Thyroid panels.
DNA testing for coat color is done.
Our boys are not offered at public stud.

Our puppies are raised in a loving, family home environment.
Puppy aptitude (temperament) testing is done at 7 weeks of age.
It is a requirement that puppies sold as pet/companions be spayed or neutered.

We usually grow on several show prospects, from a litter. As a result, we sometimes have a young adult ,available for adoption, to an excellent, loving home. These youngsters are spayed or neutered before leaving us.

The Coronado Standard Poodles live with June and Ron Thompson, on an acreage, east of Red Deer, Alberta, Canada.
