If you just MUST have a puppy NOW (which we completely understand!),
we usually know other good poodle friends who might have puppies
available, and are always happy to refer! If you would like to be
placed on a contact list for future puppies, please send me an email
with your name, address and phone #, and I will let you know when
puppies are on the way!
Remember when
you're looking for that perfect puppy you may need to wait for a
litter to be born. Reputable and careful breeders do not have
puppies available at all times, and a good puppy is well worth the
wait. If you are willing to settle for just any puppy, that is
exactly what you will get - "Just any puppy! "

Calisun Standard
Poodles is a small kennel and breeder, producing only one or two
litters a year. We are just beginning our breeding program, using
extreme care and caution, concentrating on health, temperament and
the betterment of the breed.
We expect to produce black, blue and occasionally cream puppies.
Puppies will be well-socialized, health-checked and sent home with
all vaccinations appropriate for their age at delivery, dew claws
removed and tails docked. Litter evaluations for show potential will
be made at 9 weeks.
Potential buyers will be thoroughly interviewed to be certain the
responsibility of owning a standard poodle is clear, and also to
help make the best match of puppy to owner. Please don't be offended
by our questions; it's concern, not curiosity! A $300 non-refundable
deposit is required to "hold" a puppy. All puppies sold as pets are
sold on a spay/neuter contract. Puppies purchased for show potential
will be co-owned until a championship is achieved, and a future
responsible breeding contract will be included in the purchase
documents. Though we prefer that you personally accept delivery of
your puppy, we will ship anywhere within the U.S.; shipping expenses
are in addition to the purchase price.
If any buyer is unable to keep or care for a puppy purchased through
Calisun, we will gladly accept the return of your Calisun poodle for rehoming.
According to breed scholars, the Poodle's origins most likely took
place in Germany where it was known as PUDELIN (meaning "to splash")
because of its love of water. It was the French, however, who
honored the Poodle at home, in court circles and on the battlefields
thus earning the dog the popular but incorrect title, "French
Poodle."
THE STANDARD POODLE is one of the most popular breeds of dogs in
America. Poodles are highly intelligent, active, adaptable and have
a good sense of humor. Poodles come in three sizes, many colors, do
not shed, and are well-tolerated by many allergy sufferers. With so
many wonderful qualities, it is easy to understand why the Poodle
has so many admirers. The Standard Poodle, originally a water
retriever, is now enjoying multiple roles - hospital therapy dog,
hunting dog, agility dog, obedience dog, assistant dog, and loyal
companion. He is ideal for those individuals who prefer a larger,
active dog.
The advantages to owning a standard poodle:
Highly intelligent, and adaptable
Delightful, clever temperament
Non-shedding
Many colors to chose from
Breed of choice for allergy sufferers
Will keep you from becoming a couch potato
The disadvantages (not really!) to owning a
standard poodle:
Requires regular professional grooming
Requires regular exercise
Once you own one you will never own anything else
You may have to buy a king sized bed!
Things you should rightfully expect from a reputable breeder - - -
health conditions common to the breed are listed on their web site.
Health conditions for puppies are guaranteed in writing. However,
please understand, even when the sire and the dam and many
generations have been tested and found free of specific health
problems, there is absolutely no guarantee that a puppy will not
develop one or more of the problems that commonly affect poodles.
BUT, buying a puppy from a breeder who tests breeding stock
considerably increases your chance of getting a long-term, healthy
puppy. A reputable breeder will give you a written guarantee on the
puppy's health, and information on the sire/dam's health
certifications. A responsible, conscientious breeder screens all
breeding stock for hereditary health problems for which there is
currently testing available prior to utilizing any dog in a breeding
program, and ceases to breed animals which have produced such health
problems in their offspring. They are delighted to answer any
questions about the health and temperament of the puppy's sire and
dam.
