Royal Standard Poodle-FAQ
The Royal Standard Poodles pictures shared on this page were taken after an early morning fall walk 2009. In the backdrop of blue, that is fog coming off of the swamp on our lower ground. The fallen maple tree leaves gave breath-taking color that pictures can't equal in real time, yet I hope you enjoy them as much as the kids enjoyed chasing the fresh beet I'd pulled from the garden to get them to be in the pictures :-)

Royal Standard Poodle-FAQ1. What colors do you have? Answer: link http://www.royalstandardpoodles.com/poodle-coat.html 2. What are Royal Standard Poodles? Answer: There are many viewpoints in the world of what designates a Royal. The following website's question and answer http://en.allexperts.com/q/Poodles-2529/standard-poodles.htm indicates all of my poodles are Royals (if not giants).Just remember-it's strictly a marketing term at this time referencing the larger size standards which I breed. The one book that actually defines Royal - the dictionary - you'll find the word "regal". This exemplifies these poodles size and temperament to a T! October 1, 2006; It has been agreed by individuals in communication with me; Toy, Miniature, Standard, and "Royal" should be a new category to the Poodle world. They should start at a shoulder height of 25" and over. Adulthood weight at 60 pounds and up. Those who think of their poodles as "Giants"; which would you rather name them? Most surveyed wanted "Royal". The name says it all. If you want to see this new category write AKC. The more who write in, attention will be given to this new category. American Kennel Club (AKC): www.AKC.org Visit them to learn more. Royal Standard Poodle-FAQ 3. How big do your poodles get and do you have smaller standards? Answer: We do have "Standard Poodles" yet "Royal" is what I enjoy. "Our" Standard Poodle Parents are between 70-85#, 26"-28" at the shoulder, puppies are growing between 60-100#. Check out the "Customer Poodles" tab for pictures and data! When the girls or boys are spayed/neutered, on the average they grow taller instead of fuller when done within 5-6 months of age. Their hormones, when done early enough, do not focus on filling out masculinely or working to become a dam. Instead the body continues to grow in another dimension :-)Royal Standard Poodle-FAQ 4. How much do your poodles cost? Answer: link http://www.royalstandardpoodles.com/standardpoodlepuppiesforsale.html 5. Why the price? Answer: a. Testing that needs to be done for assuring the customer I am trying to do my best to provide a good pet for them. b. Marketing pups on the internet and for sale. c. Grooming clippers and blades that constantly wear out. d. Maintaining parks for them to have lots of room to live, laugh, and be dogs. e. Vet expenses are constant. f. Chiropractic expenses for the kids to stay healthy and a litters first adjustment before they go to their new homes. g. Spraying the acres during the summer to keep mosquitoes away for healthy happy kids. h. They do not eat cheap dog food. i. Home upkeep as puppies destroy chords and things I thought I had puppy proofed. j. Continued classes to learn on being a good breeder. k. Paper towels, paper towels, and more paper towels. As you see the list could go on. It is my joy to provide you joy and the expenses do add up, as I want all customers to know owning a Royal or Standard Poodle pet is a high maintenance life, yet worth it beyond price in many of our viewpoints :-)

Answer: That question must be personally analyzed with our conversations to understand the dynamics of the home.17. Can you refer me to a breeder?

21. I want to be a breeder. Will you sell me a pup for breeding? Answer: One must understand the responsibility in being a breeder, it is not something to be taken lightly in my viewpoint. Questions to ask yourself: a. What are my state requirements in being a breeder of dogs? b. What tests need to be done? c. Contract, what will I have in it? d... is the individual I buy my breeding pet from willing to mentor me?If you are/intend to be a large kennel - NO, I will not sell to you! Royal Standard Poodle-FAQ 22. How often do you breed? Answer: I only like to breed when I have down-payments, knowing the litter is wanted is key! I don't just breed to breed. So if I don't have pups at the time, your patient willingness to plan ahead benefits everyone. Royal Standard Poodle-FAQ 23. Do you give refunds? Answer: Yes - under the following conditions...a. At the birth of a litter, there is not the color or gender you desired. b. Your down payment was my decision to breed my girls. If you want a refund, I will refund half of your down payment and keep the other half for your return in the future in purchasing your next pet from us. c. If you're purchasing a breeding pup and change your mind after they have had their VWD done after 6 wks of age, there is no refund as I use that down payment to do the testing on the litter. This testing is not done on every litter, only those I am selling a breeding pup from in order to have the top pup continue on my line. Royal Standard Poodle-FAQ 24. Why are some of your Royal Standard Poodles tails short? Answer: Rarely in the momma's womb, a tail will kink and upon birth, it is still kinked. We dock it just below the kink.25. If I don't want a tail docked, will you not dock it? Answer: If you were the first down payment customer, and my female poodle only had one pup, and you wanted that pup, I would not dock its tail. 95% of my customers want the tails docked and dew claws done.
Royal Standard Poodle-FAQ 26. Do you have older poodles for sale? Answer: On occasion. Generally my pups are all sold by the time they are 8 weeks of age. It may be that several might be with me for 4 months.Older than 4 months: being a breeder, I must be vigilant to assure everyone is going to be the best breeder with offspring my customers desire. If the breeding poodle turns out to not be qualified for whatever the reason, I will seek to place them in a home in MN. If the poodle is several years old I go to the owners home and introduce the poodle to the home for several hours, then bring it home with me. It is within the next weeks time frame that I ask the potential new owner to make a decision as I do not want the pet to be jumping around from home to home.
I took well over 100 pictures to get the few best shots, thank you digital technology :-)
