Poodle questions, answered

• How much does a Poodle puppy cost?+

  Our Poodle puppies currently range from $3,500 to $4,800 across the 20 listed right now; each puppy's price depends on colour, coat, size and sex. The fee always includes the full vet exam, vaccinations to date, deworming, microchip registration and our written health guarantees, and that nothing is added afterwards. Budget $1,400-$2,400 a year after purchase, mostly grooming every 4-6 weeks and dental care. Toy and Miniature Poodles often live 14-17 years, so the lifetime total is higher than the annual figure suggests.

• How big does a Poodle get?+

  Toy Poodles stand under 10 inches and usually weigh 4-6 lb; Miniature Poodles stand 10-15 inches and weigh 10-15 lb. Each puppy page states which size the puppy is and both parents' adult weights.

• Do Poodles shed? Are they hypoallergenic?+

  Poodles shed very little because the coat grows continuously and loose hair stays in it until brushed out. They are often tolerated by people with mild dog allergies, but no breed is truly hypoallergenic - allergens are in saliva and skin, not only hair.

• Are your Poodle parents health tested?+

  Yes. Every parent in this program is tested for OFA patella, OFA eyes (CAER), OFA Legg-Calvé-Perthes, OFA hips, Embark DNA panel incl. PRA-prcd before any mating. Results are issued by the testing body - OFA and Embark - not by us, and we link to their public result pages so you can verify each one yourself rather than take our word for it.

• What are the downsides of owning a Poodle?+

  Brains need work: Poodles rank among the most trainable breeds, and a bored one invents its own jobs — barking, chewing, escaping. Plan on training and puzzle work every day, not just walks. Grooming: The coat grows continuously. A professional clip every 4–6 weeks ($65–$110) and daily brushing if you keep it long. Toys are fragile: A Toy Poodle under 6 lb can break a leg jumping off a sofa or being dropped by a child. With children under six we usually recommend a Miniature. Teeth: Small Poodles crowd their teeth. Daily brushing and a professional cleaning every year or two are normal, not optional. Long-lived: Toy and Miniature Poodles typically live around 14 years and many go well beyond. That is a commitment well past most puppy plans. Lifetime cost: Budget $1,400–$2,400 a year after purchase, mostly grooming and dental care.
