Thank you for visiting Calliope Poodles! In doing so, you’ve chosen to pursue a quality Miniature Poodle as a companion or performance dog. Versatility is the poodle’s middle name as they compete in conformation, obedience, agility, hunting, therapy work, nose work, barn hunt and last and most importantly as your best friend. Please contact us with any questions you may have and visit the links for more information and educational sites.
We are making an effort to present you with as much information to assist you in your choice of pet or next show prospect. The emphasis of our site is on education of puppy buyers to make an informed decision about your potential family member.
Please visit Poodle Club of America to learn about the potential health issues of poodles. Also find info about the “Greatest Poodle Show on Earth”.
When searching for a new puppy or adult poodle, don’t be fooled by flashy websites(although I do have a cute website!) with cute puppies, slogans and claims. These can easily be fronts for poor quality breeding operations that do little or NO genetic testing and whose main focus is making money quickly.
Claims of champion bloodlines can mean 1 champion five generations back. This has no bearing whatsoever on the quality of the puppies for sale. Even a famous kennel name in the pedigree doesn’t mean that those puppies are good quality. It can mean that someone obtained a nicer dog a long time ago and it ended up being bred to someone’s Fifi.
Go to your local affiliate Poodle Club or Poodle Club of America websites to contact the breeder referral representative. You can be connected with passionate breeders who will take the time to talk to you and allow you to visit their homes or kennels to see living conditions, documentation of health testing, pedigrees, one or both parents, siblings, etc.
You can’t go wrong with a well bred poodle to keep you company! I urge you to come visit a Bluebonnet Poodle Club meeting! It’s not just for show people! We now have our meetings available on Zoom so you don’t have to be in town. My local affiliate club, Bluebonnet Poodle Club of Houston
