Started
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!**

What is a "started puppy"

Started puppies vary in price between $3250-$4500.
Dixie - Available
Dixie is a very petite girl. I think she will mature to right around 35 lbs. Her Great Granddaddy was a mini poodle and she definitely gets her size from him but not her personality! She has a Standard personality. She loves to be close to us and is a very quick learner! She is doing so so well with her training. As you can see from the pictures, my daughter couldn't resist the opportunity to dress Dixie up at Christmas time! Dixie also heard many stories over the past few weeks as she sat on the couch while my daughter read book after book to her!
Parents:
Cherry - 50 lbs
Barron - 45 lbs
Gender: Female
Birthday: June 11, 2024
Price: $3450

William Blake - Available
William Blake - we’ve been calling him Blake but can change his name for you if you’d like -
is outgoing, always happy, eager to learn and has a great food drive. He is really a joy to train, and a lot of fun to hang out with. He doesn’t mind new things (like walking around Lowe’s), and he has done well with the groomer. Blake is the largest in his litter, so I think he is taking after his mama’s side and he will be about 55 pounds full grown. He has not been neutered, but he can be neutered before he goes home for an additional fee. Contact me for more details.
Parents:
Cherry - 50lbs
Baron - 45 lbs
Gender: Male
Birthday: June 11, 2024
Price: $3450

Lincoln - Reserved!
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! As you can see from the pictures he has a wonderful stance. Lincoln is friendly and does well when we go out and about with him. He is quick to learn and he has the 'poodle' eyes. So expressive!
