We live in Fairbury Illinois. 2hours south of Chicago and 45 minutes North of Bloomington. I have been breeding dogs since 1986, I have had Standard Poodles since 2002. I have always had poodles and I really enjoy the breed. My first Poodle I bought from Nancy Nire, in Bedford Indiana. She is a wonderful person, and a excellent breeder. I take pride in our dogs that we raise! I only bred our girls once a year. My girls are only bred 3x and then spayed and put into a pet home. I firmly believe they should not be made into a breeding machine. I do NOT sell my puppies to pet stores, or brokers. I want to know where my puppies are going, and I want to meet the people who are buying my puppies. All our puppies are sold with a written guarantee, they are vet checked and vaccinated. They are dewormed 2-4-6-8 weeks of age. All puppies are family raised by children. All our puppies are socialized from the time they are born. My children sleep with the puppies and the mom's, or the puppies sometimes sleep with them! My puppies do not go outside until they receive their first set of vaccinations. My puppies go on a nursing home visit when they reach 5-6 weeks old. My Veterinarian DR. Jackson comes and picks the puppies up and vet checks them over and vaccinate them. Then she takes them to the nursing homes for therapy. The Nursing homes residents just love this, and so do the puppies! We are breeding for 1)Temperament! 2)Beauty 3)Obedience and most of all healthy dogs! We have puppies occasionally and we offer stud service to approved females. If you would like references please email or call, I will supply you with them! Thanks for visiting A' Lord Standard Poodles. Always remember "To Every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven:" Eccles. 3:1 Have a wonderful day and God Bless!
