1) Do you have time to spend with your dog? The Standard Poodle is very calm and well behaved in the house, but needs the opportunity to run and play daily. They absolutely need human interaction and mental stimulation.
2) The Standard Poodle has a sensitive, loving disposition. They do not do well with a heavy hand. They take corrections to heart, so all that is needed is mild, consistent training.
3) Are you looking for a non-shedding (hypo-allergenic) breed? Well, than this is the perfect one for you!
4) Do you like to brush & groom your dog? Although the poodle's coat is basically non-shedding, they need to be brushed to keep the coat from becoming matted and their skin healthy. Also, they need to have a bath about once a month. They do not get the typical "doggy" smell but because they have hair like humans do, instead of fur, there hair does need regular cleaning.
5) The Standard Poodle needs to have their coat trimmed monthly or six weeks to keep them tidy and their coats manageable. You will need to find a good groomer or can learn to groom your new friend yourself. It is not hard and the time spent doing it is a good bonding time.
6) The Standard Poodle loves to play fetch and go swimming. They are perfect camping, hiking companions.
7) Because of their love for the outdoors and desire to please their owner, they do well in all types of dog sports, i.e., obedience, rally, tracking, agility, ski-joring, to name a few; and even have been trained for herding. Their intelligence allows them to be very versatile.

IS THE STANDARD POODLE THE RIGHT DOG FOR YOU?
grace's 2012 litter is here
ALL of our puppies are sold as pets on a spay/neuter contract unless otherwise agreed upon to a show home.
What is the difference between a show puppy
and a pet puppy?
The pups were born Saturday, April 7th. Grace was bred back to Ch. By Request I'm Snow'd In Thank God, a gorgeous white male.
He has looks and a wonderful personality. The pups from their first litter are beloved family members, totally
enjoyed by all their owners! Grace will not be bred for at least two years now, she will be working on finishing her CD
title in obedience and training for her CDX.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Whether you are looking for a loving family companion to hang out around the house, go for car rides and on hikes or are looking for a great friend & candidate for agility, fly ball, obedience or service work (therapy, tracking) you have come to the right place. Our dogs were chosen for their great temperament and learning ability. All our dogs have either attained, or will attain,their CGC's (Canine Good Citizens Certs) and are used in therapy work. Some are in training for obedience and/or agility and some being shown in AKC Conformation towards their Championships. Not only do we strive for great temperament, but also for proper structure and excellent health. All our dogs are fully health tested before breeding.
We expect to have one to two possible litters a year. It is very important to us that the pups get plenty of one on one attention so each are emotionally ready for their forever, loving homes.
A show prospect puppy is a puppy from a litter that excells to the Breed Standard in structure & show attitude. A pet puppy is one that may have a structural aspect that would not allow it to compete in the ring. Other than that, both show and pet puppies have the same wonderful temperament, trainability and healthy constitution. Both come with the same health guarentees, the same puppy packets and the same lifetime support from Wispynook Poodles. A pet puppy MUST be spay/neutered
We DO NOT condone cross breeding Poodles with other breeds to make doodle crosses. Please DO NOT ask us for any nor to use one of our boys to produce any!
