Hello,  my name is Wendy and I want to welcome you to our FAMILY AFFAIR STANDARD POODLE website. I hope your visit to our site is fun, emotional and informative.

If  you are a Standard Poodle owner, or have owned a Standard Poodle in the past, you know how intelligent, loyal and loving the Standard Poodle is.  You have experienced the non-stop laughter that they can cause with their clownish antics or perhaps that look in their eyes that says “Who me.?”  The goose bumps you get with each look of devotion, or each time they snuggle so close they could be your skin, is a wonderful, familiar feeling.

Those of you who do not own nor have ever owned a Standard Poodle have so much to look forward to. These dogs will amaze you with their endless vocabulary of the human language.  Whether you have been gone from home ten minutes or eight hours, the greeting you will receive will be exuberant.  The gentleness and soft touch of this large breed will always be a comfort to you.  If  your search for a new family member  has lead you here, to our Family Affair Standard Poodle website, we hope to be the ones to  help you find the perfect Standard Poodle puppy for you and your family.

We have been Standard Poodle breeders since 1992.  My mom, Cindy, and sister, Holley, and I met our first Standard Poodle in 1989.  Mom owned and operated a grooming shop and into the shop one day walked a beautiful pair of black Standard Poodles.  It was a mother and her son.  Venus, the mother, was a gorgeous, loving, elegant, petite, lady-like Standard  Poodle.  Her son Kegan, still just a puppy, was a combination of fun, personality, intelligence and striking good looks. This is when my family’s love affair with the Standard Poodle began.

Please take the time to visit each page of our site. Each page is designed and written to help you and your family make a well informed, confident  decision to purchase your Standard Poodle puppy here at Family Affair Standard Poodles.

The “Available & Upcoming Litters” page will give you the prices of our Standard Poodle puppies. The difference in prices of Limited AKC Registration and Unlimited AKC Registration is also available.  You will be able to view slide shows of Standard Poodle puppies that are available now.  In addition, you will see slide shows of sires (dads) and dams (moms) of the young or upcoming litters of our Standard Poodle puppies. This page is usually updated weekly.   

Introducing the ladies and gentlemen of Family Affair Standard Poodles, both the human and canine varieties, is the purpose of the “Ladies” and “Gentlemen” pages. You can view slide shows, testing results and pedigree information on the canines, Ladies and Gentlemen of Family Affair Standard Poodles.  In addition we have posted the color and approximate weight and height of each of our canine Ladies and Gentlemen at Family Affair Standard Poodles.  You will also get to meet all the humans involved in this Family Affair.

We retire all of our lady adult standard poodles at six years of age and our gentlemen adult Standard Poodles between the ages of six and seven. Occasionally we will have a younger adult up for adoption or to purchase for a breeding program. The “Available & Past Adoptees” page will list the adult standard poodles who are available. This page will give you an idea of what to expect from these retiring girls and guys as new family members.  You will be able to read letters or notes from previous people who have adopted our adult  Standard Poodles.

Our “About Us” page will afford you the opportunity to get acquainted with our entire family.  You will see slide shows of Holley and me including childhood pictures.  You will also see us as we are today, with our own families.  You will get to see pictures of our facility, which we are very proud of. We will try to update  the  “About Us” page from year to year.    

On the “Reference” page you will be able to see  pictures, read letters and e-mails sent from  people who have previously adopted Family Affair Standard Poodle puppies.  Some of these people have been gracious enough to allow us to list their emails so you can email them directly for a  reference. We also have a link to view a letter from our annual AKC inspection. You can view letters of our previous vet of 15 years and our present vet who we have been with since 2007.

Family Affair Standard Poodles has three contracts. You can read and study all three of our contracts and that includes:  the “Puppy Deposit Contract, Puppy Purchase Limited Contract” and the “Puppy Purchase Unlimited Contract”.  These contracts are on the “Buyer Contract” page.  These contracts serve as your guarantee, medical record and receipt all in one. There are specific instructions on how to fill out and submit these contracts. Answers to questions such as what type of payment we accept and when payment in full is due for your standard poodle puppy can be found on this page.
 
The “Shipping Your Standard Poodle” page will provide you with some airline numbers. It will explain how our puppies are shipped and help put your mind at ease concerning shipping your new Standard Poodle puppy. There are also a few pictures and letters concerning successfully shipped puppies.

Our “Resources & Links”  page has a list of books and videos we recommend to help with the purchase, training, grooming and health of your Standard Poodle.  It also has groomers and vets as well as trainers listed.  We have a list of magazines and places where you can  purchase supplies.

If you have questions you will find a lot of your answers on the “Frequently Ask Questions” page. These are questions you need answered prior to the decision to adopt a Standard Poodle or before and after the arrival of your new Standard Poodle Puppy.

    Our last page, entitled,  “Contact Us”  has our physical and email addresses, phone numbers, and directions to Arrowhead Acres, which is my mom and dads twelve acre mini-farm. This is where the puppies are raised.  Located on this page you will also find a “Map to Heaven” and some more inspiring and uplifting poems and videos. 

In our opinion the most versatile breed anyone could ask for is the Standard Poodle. This athletic breed does not shed and is not at all  “Frou-Frou” or sissy.  Standards are very happy on a farm, hiking, swimming, playing games and hunting.  They are also very content to be a couch potato in an apartment with brief outings to play. They enjoy homes with a houseful of children, older couples or a single human companion. They do great with other pets as well.
 
        Enjoy your visit to our Family Affair Standard Poodle website.   
  We hope to hear from you soon so that you can become a part of our Family Affair.


"Standard Poodles" are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.
