about us

At Heart Song Standard Poodles, we believe that poodles are loving members of the family. They are excellent companions who are devoted to their people.
Poodles have a range of personality traits with varying levels of play drive, retrieve drive, prey drive, and, of course, couch-potato-ness. Most poodles love to play. Average, well-socialized poodles love to go everywhere with their family. The hallmarks of the standard poodle personality are well-rounded athleticism, intelligence, and a will-try-anything attitude that makes for a can-go-anywhere kind of dog.
Standard poodles don't shed, are good with with children, and generally interact well with other pets. Just like people, each is unique and comes in a wide range of colors and patterns.
Whether it's one of many solid colors, spotted or parti, a brindle, tuxedo, sable, or a phantom pattern, there's a Heart Song Standard Poodle for everyone.
Poodles need quality time with people and other animals, physical exercise and mental stimulation, quality food, medical care and grooming. Poodles are not outdoor dogs to be left tied up, away from people.
OUR approach
Puppies are born and raised in our home. We use Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) exercises from day 3- 14 when appropriate for a litter. We hold, stroke and touch puppies multiple times a day. Research has shown this helps puppies to develop more resilience and better responses to stress.
We use Puppy Culture exercises and introduce new toys, barriers and sounds that provide enrichment. Poodles are quick learners and love novel items. We socialize with as many people as is safely possible while taking into account the risk of parvo and distemper for puppies that are not fully vaccinated.
