Independence Poodles
About Us
Located conveniently in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, we have been actively raising, training and competing with poodles for nearly ten years. You won't find any kennel facilities here; our poodles are raised & adored in our home or with our trusted guardian homes.
Our absolute favorite thing about this breed is their versatility. We are active in both AKC & UKC conformation, but our heart is with performance sports. From cuddling on the couch, gaiting in the show ring, or a weekend of dock diving & scent work, they are happy to be by our side and always give 100%. We love seeing new folks get involved in both sports and conformation. If you're curious, we're happy to point you in the right direction of shows to spectate, trainers to reach out to, etc. We believe living an active life with your dog is one of the quickest ways to a happy, healthy life.
Health Testing
We strive to produce the healthiest, happiest, most adaptable puppies possible. Our foundation poodles were carefully selected from health tested lines before joining our family, and our current adult poodles are health tested beyond breed recommendations with CHIC numbers publicly available. We're proud of our health testing results & are happy to share them with you!
Our Puppies
We understand that you've got plenty of choices when it comes to selecting a breeder, and we don't take that decision lightly. We pride ourselves on the relationships we build with our clients. We are here from your first inquiry, for questions that pop up when you first take your puppy home, & to celebrate the bond you build with your poodle as he/she ages.
Our puppies are whelped & raised in our home, they are started with early neurological stimulation & scent introduction. We use protocols from both the Badass Breeder & Puppy Culture programs that have been developed with your standard poodle puppy's success in mind. Puppies begin weekly grooming at 3 weeks of age, and are socialized with adults, children, & other dogs. Litters are temperament evaluated at 7 weeks of age to find the best match for new families! All of our puppies have tails docked to show length, dewclaws left intact, are microchipped, receive a vet clearance & first round of vaccines before they head to their new homes.
