The Home of CH. Lord Baron James

"Lucy"has retired from
breeding

As a breeder, we strive to produce the ideal Poodle as described in the
Breed Standard of the Poodle. Our goal is to produce a sound, healthy dog
with excellent conformation, type and temperament.

The Standard Poodle measures over 15 inches at the shoulder with most
being in the 22-27" range. The original Poodles were water dogs used for
retrieving and their conformation and the texture and pattern of their coats to
this day reflect the purposes fro which they were bred. The Poodle is an
active, intelligent, ruggedly-built dog which is at the same time elegant and
refined. Well-bred Poodles have steady, calm nerves, hardy constitutions
and they can be easily trained. A Poodle is a "person" and he expects to be
treated as one . Each one is a character and for that reason they make
wonderful companions.

A Poodle should be a member of the family. Prospective owners of Poodles
should be equipped to provide a fenced-in-area in which the Poodle can
exercise or be prepared to walk the Poodle reqularly on a leash. Poodles
require regular clipping and grooming; a dexterous owner can readily learn
how to groom his own dog or he can take the Poodle to a professional
grooming shop. *
