Puppies
* Sleeping through the night in their kennel
* Using a doggy door
* Vaccinations finished
* Sitting for attention
"Started Puppies" have started training on all of these points! If that sounds like a dream come true - keep reading!
(Keep scrolling to see available puppies!)
"Started Puppies" are puppies who range in age from 16 weeks to about a year old (and sometimes even a little over a year). They are consistently using a doggy door to go to the bathroom. They are sitting for attention instead of jumping up on you (and we will teach you how to continue that behavior when they go home with you!), they are finished with their Parvo vaccinations and have had their rabies vaccine - so they're ready to go to Doggy Day Care or the Dog Park from the day they go home. And they're sleeping through the night in their kennel!
With a foundation like that you'll be ready to hit the ground running with your new puppy! You will still have to help your puppy adjust to your schedule, working out your feeding times/potty times to avoid messes overnight, etc. But you will be working on building on a foundation instead of starting from scratch.
**Started puppies are not "left over" puppies. Here at Above Standard Poodles we understand that not everyone can sign up for puppy stage. That is exactly why we started offering "started" puppies!**

Madison is a beautiful black with light tan phantom markings. She has the best expressions, and loves to read your mood! She is doing well in our started program sitting for attention, walking on the leash, using the doggy door to do her business outside! This girl was not at all bothered by a full day of going to the groomer, and then to new places for a photo shoot. She was calm and attentive to us and eager to please.

Sierra - Available
Sierra is a beautiful black Standard Poodle. She was reserved and then the family decided this wasn't a good time for them to bring her home. She is a quick learner and has a calm demeanor. She loves to be with us, laying close enough to be touching us, or following us around in the yard. As you can see she has wonderful Poodle eyes! She is doing so well with sitting for attention, using the doggy door to do her business outside and sleeping in the crate at night. We think she is quite amazing and we know you will also! Contact us today to learn if she would be a good fit for your home!

Lincoln is definitly a show stopper when we are out and about. He is a beautiful rich black and he looks just like velvet after he is groomed! Yes, he feels even softer!
