At LoEll’s Standard Poodles, our program is built on more than just a love for the breed; it is rooted in generations of hands on experience with dogs, animal care, and responsible breeding.
Our journey began with a deep appreciation for the Standard Poodle as a versatile, intelligent, and devoted companion. What started as a desire to add an exceptional dog to our own family quickly grew into a passion for preserving and improving the breed through thoughtful, ethical breeding practices.
Our family’s involvement with dogs and animal care spans multiple generations. Both my mother and grandmother worked in a veterinary clinic for a combined 35 years, serving as a veterinary technician and professional groomers. This experience provided our family with extensive knowledge in canine health, preventative care, grooming, and overall wellness; a foundation that strongly influences how we raise and care for our dogs today.
In addition, responsible breeding has been part of our family for generations. My grandmother raises Yorkshire Terriers, and my great grandmother also raised Yorkies. Going back further, our great-great-grandfather raised Black and Tan Coonhounds for hunting, while another great-great-grandfather raised Beagles and Basset Hounds for bird hunting. This long standing tradition has given our family a deep respect for breeding with purpose, temperament, and working ability in mind.
This multi generational background has shaped our philosophy at LoEll’s. We believe that great breeding programs are built on education, careful selection, and a commitment to the long term health and temperament of each dog. We did not enter breeding casually, we invested time in learning breed standards, health testing protocols, structure, genetics, and temperament to ensure our program reflects best practices in responsible breeding.
Each of our breeding dogs is carefully selected and fully health tested according to breed recommendations. We focus on producing Standard Poodles that are not only beautiful, but also healthy, stable, and well suited for family life and companionship.
Our puppies are raised in a loving, hands on environment with intentional socialization, early grooming exposure, and age appropriate enrichment. These early experiences help our puppies develop confidence and adaptability, giving them the best possible start in their new homes.
At the heart of LoEll’s Standard Poodles is a commitment to our puppy families. We value transparency, ongoing support, and long term relationships. Watching our puppies grow into beloved family members is one of the most rewarding aspects of what we do, and we are honored to be part of each family’s journey.
LoEll’s Standard Poodles was built on generations of experience, a passion for the breed, and a dedication to doing things the right way. We are proud of our foundation and excited to continue sharing exceptional Standard Poodles with families for years to come.

Choosing a Standard Poodle breeder is one of the most important decisions you will make when bringing a puppy into your family. A well bred Standard Poodle should be healthy, stable in temperament, and raised with intention, not just produced for profit.
At LoEll’s Standard Poodles, we believe education is key. Here are some important things every puppy buyer should look for when choosing a breeder, and how our program is designed to meet those standards.
1. Health Testing — Not Just Vet Checks
Responsible Standard Poodle breeders perform breed specific health testing, not just routine veterinary exams. This may include:

• OFA hip and elbow evaluations
• Eye clearances
• Cardiac clearances 
• Genetic testing for conditions such as PRA and DM

These tests help reduce the risk of inherited diseases and protect the long term health of the puppies.
At LoEll’s, our breeding dogs are health tested according to breed recommendations, and we are happy to discuss our results with prospective families.
2. Temperament Matters Just as Much as Looks
Standard Poodles should be:

• Intelligent
• People oriented
• Stable and confident
• Suitable for family life

Ethical breeders carefully select dogs not only for structure and health, but also for temperament. This helps ensure puppies grow into dogs that are a joy to live with.
Our program focuses on producing Standard Poodles that are well balanced, affectionate, and suitable for active families and companion homes.
3. Puppy Raising Practices Make a Huge Difference
How a puppy is raised in the first 8 weeks can shape their confidence for life. Responsible breeders focus on:

• Early neurological stimulation/ early scent introduction 
• Noise desensitization 
• Exposure to normal household sounds
• Introduction to different surfaces and textures 
• Interactions with different animals 
• Monitoring health and nutrition 
• Gentle handling and socialization
• Early grooming exposure
• Clean, enriched environments

At LoEll’s, our puppies are raised with intentional socialization to help them transition smoothly into their new homes.
4. Transparency & Ongoing Support
A good breeder will:

• Answer your questions honestly
• Provide contracts and health guarantees
• Offer guidance after your puppy goes home
• Care about where their puppies are placed

We consider ourselves a lifelong resource for our puppy families and are always happy to offer support, advice, and guidance.
5. Red Flags to Watch Out For
Be cautious of breeders who:

• Constantly has 4+ litters at a time
• Cannot provide health testing proof
• Will not allow questions
• Focus only on price
• Sells puppies without vetting homes
• Will not provide references 
• Lacks knowledge on the breeds health, temperament, etc. 
• Talk negatively about other breeders
• No contract, no health guarantee, extremely vague paperwork
• Allows puppies to leave before 8 weeks old 

Finding the right breeder may take time, but it’s worth it for a healthy, well raised Standard Poodle.
