We live near Sarnia, Ontario and the poodles spend lots of time at the lake!  Our poodles are a big part of our family and they make wonderful companions!   The puppies are born in a bedroom in our home.  They receive ENS and are given the Puppy Culture protocols during their 9 weeks with us.  They recieve routine baths and get clipped from about 4 weeks on.  They receive a lot of stimulation each day.  They go for car rides, run around the house, deck and backyard.  They receive new objects to explore.  It is expected that new owners would continue to expose the puppy to many new situations to allow their confidence to grow.  Poodles are an affectionate, energetic, funny and very athletic breed of dog that make excellent, non-shedding, family pets.
