We are committed to providing you with a wonderful experience as you welcome your new puppy home.
Each of our puppies is raised with care in our family home, where they are exposed to a variety of experiences and social interactions.

Angie and her husband have the most amazing pups! I received updates weekly updates via text and facebook. Angie was always a text away and got back to me very quickly! Our Poppy is the absolute sweetest! She has an amazing temperament and loves everyone she meets! Thank you Angie and Shawn for our wonderful fur baby!

I had an amazing experience with Higher Standard Poodles. Angie communicated so well and my new puppy is the best well behaved little boy. He has the best temperament, came potty and crate trained, and is just perfect all around. If I ever want another poodle I will definitely get one from Higher Standard Poodles again.

Higher Standard Poodles are knowledgeable on each of their dogs personality and temperament which made an easy transition to our home. They set up transport from Illinois to California and delivered us a healthy, happy puppy! Highly recommend! We love our Murphy boy and cant wait to get another pup!

The only thing I can say about Angie and Higher Standard Poodles is THANK YOU for the amazing addition to our little family. We have been thinking for months on whether or not to get a brother for our first fur-baby, Thorin, and I am SO glad we waited until this moment, as Oliver, is exactly everything we could have hoped for.
Angie was incredibly prompt in her responses and VERY knowledgeable about Standard Poodles. She welcomed us with open arms and treated us like family for the whole time we were there. You can tell how much she loves each and every one of her puppies and only wants the best for them out of their forever homes.
I fully recommend Higher Standard Poodles and will be singing your praises for the wonderful work and love you put into raising all of your puppies.
I am so grateful to have Oliver (formally Paxton) join our family--he fits right in! Thank you for loving him with all your heart until we found our way to him, Angie!

Our sweet, beautiful Chloe has been such a wonderful addition to our family. She is a wonderful little sister to our other dog, Lola. You can see the love that Higher Standard has for their puppies and adult dogs. The early stimulation and potty training they do with the puppies before they go to their homes makes a huge difference. We had a wonderful experience with Higher Standard Poodles

We had looked for a stand poodle with genetic testing, pedigree, health guarantees and knowledge that Higher Stand Poodles has.
Higher Standard Poodles are fantastic, answering any questions you may have, also making sure their dogs are top quality.
We got our girl True from Standard Poodles 5 weeks ago and we are elated. She fits in with our family seamlessly. My 7 lb yorkie loves her as do my two grandchildren.
Cannot say enough about Higher Standard Poodles!
