How our puppies are raised

---

Our puppies are raised in our home where they come pre loved. We believe that proper socialization starts from the day they are born. Our puppies are handled daily right from the minute they are born. Their feet, ears and tail are touched often to prepare them for the grooming that poodles require. We start brushing them daily at a young age so they get use to it for their new owners. Poodles naturally have long fur including on their face and feet that some owners will shave to give them the poodle look. We start shaving our puppies faces before they leave that way they get use to it early on if the new owner chooses to continue having their face shaved. When our puppies are given a bath we blow dry them afterwards instead of letting them air dry that way they get use to the blow dryer. Since they are raised in our home they get use to everyday sights, smells and sounds. Some of these include the vaccume, tv, kids playing, other dogs and animals, etc. We also expose them to sounds they are less frequently to come into contact with such as fireworks, sirens, gunshots, thunder, etc.
