Poodle Foundation Lines

Intentional Development. Proven Ability. Purpose Above All.

Behind every exceptional Goldendoodle is a thoughtfully designed foundation. Our program is built upon carefully selected Golden Retriever and poodle lines chosen not for trends, but for structure, temperament, and long-term genetic health.

Our Poodle Foundation Lines reflect years of planning, evaluation, and stewardship. They form the backbone of our program and support our commitment to producing consistent, balanced companions with both beauty and substance.

Purpose-Bred Poodles with Proven Merit

Poodles play a critical role in the development of Goldendoodles. Beyond coat type, they contribute intelligence, athleticism, biddability, and longevity. For this reason, we hold our poodle foundation to an uncompromising standard.

Our foundation includes thoughtfully developed Standard, Moyen, and Miniature poodles, each selected to support balance, consistency, and temperament across our program.

Our foundation includes poodles in recognized color patterns—parti, phantom, brindle, and sable—that are titled in both the conformation show ring and performance venues. These accomplishments provide independent, third-party validation of qualities essential to a purpose-bred program, including:

Correct structure and movement
Stable, reliable temperaments
Trainability and functional ability
Adherence to breed standards

These titled dogs establish the benchmark for our breeding decisions and anchor our program in proven excellence.

Merle Poodles: A Distinct and Carefully Managed Component

Merle has been thoughtfully incorporated into our program for several years as part of our poodle foundation, supporting the development of our Goldendoodles through carefully planned, health-tested pairings.

As our foundation has matured and our standards have continued to refine, this year marks a natural progression in our program—the introduction of our first intentionally planned litter of merle poodles. This step reflects preparation, not novelty, and is rooted in the same principles that guide every aspect of our breeding philosophy: health, temperament, structure, and long-term integrity.

Our merle poodle is actively working toward performance titles, reflecting the same emphasis on ability, trainability, and mental stability that defines our titled foundation dogs.

Merle remains a genetically distinct pattern that requires additional oversight and intentional management. For this reason, its inclusion in our program is measured and conservative—never selected for trend or demand, and always stewarded with care.

Our Non-Negotiables

Ethics are not optional in a purpose-bred program—they are foundational.

Without exception, our poodle foundation adheres to the following standards:

No merle-to-merle pairings
Comprehensive genetic testing and verification
Independent health testing appropriate for the breed
Ongoing temperament evaluation and development
Lifetime responsibility for every dog we produce

These principles apply across all patterns and lines within our program.

Structure, Temperament, and Balance

Every poodle in our program—across recognized patterns and merle—is evaluated not only as an individual, but for how they strengthen the whole. We prioritize dogs who enhance:

Physical balance and correct movement
Calm, confident, people-oriented temperaments
Trainability and adaptability
Consistency across Goldendoodle generations

By anchoring our foundation in titled, proven poodles and advancing thoughtfully, we maintain predictability while supporting responsible genetic diversity.

Stewardship Over Scale

Exceptional programs are built intentionally, not quickly. Our poodle foundation lines are developed for refinement and longevity—not volume.

Each dog is raised, evaluated, and placed with purpose—whether they remain within our program or are entrusted to select homes that share our values of responsibility, transparency, and lifelong care.

A Foundation You Can Trust

Our Poodle Foundation Lines reflect our belief that true quality begins long before a puppy is born. Through proven dogs, ethical practices, and unwavering standards, we ensure that every Goldendoodle—and now, thoughtfully planned poodle litters—stand on a foundation worthy of trust.
