Breeder List & Information

Most people prefer to purchase Poodles from reliable, responsible breeders and not from “puppy mills” or pet shops. Member breeders of the Greater Cincinnati Poodle Club have pledged to breed health, sound, well socialized puppies from healthy genetically tested parents. Our member breeders will provide follow-up instructions to new Poodle owners and frequently stay in contact with the owners who are providing loving homes for their new puppies.

The Greater Cincinnati Poodle Club maintains a list of active breeder members and participates in breeder referral programs through the American Kennel Club and The Poodle Club of America. Our breeder members’ puppies have been sent all over the world as well as throughout the United States. In the past the Club has joined forces with other dog fancier clubs to try and eliminate puppy mills and other irresponsible breeding practices.
