Welcome to Maine Standard Poodles

AKA - Kennebec River Standard Poodles

I have been raising AKC Standard Poodle puppies since 1990. These puppies are home raised, with lots of socialization. I have one litter a year, looking for that special dog I can put in the show ring.

Parents are tested for Sebaceous Adenitis, hips, von Willebrand's disease, PRA (progressive retinal atrophy) and their thyroid is checked.

The pups are sold with an AKC limited registration with a spay/neuter clause.

If you are looking to place a poodle in a new home, please contact me..

My Next Litter will be early February 2015.

Puppy Update

Hello Everyone,

We had the tails docked Saturday, by Dr Charles Ellithorp at the Bath Brunswick Veterinary Associates. Dr Ellithorp knew how important it was for these pups to get their tails done within a 3 day time limit. and.......he fit me in on a short notice on a busy Saturday. Thank you for a job WELL done. I had scheduled the procedure for Monday thinking the delivery was Friday, at another hospital and they were unable to fit me in on Saturday.
Thank you for following our journey.

Puppies Have Arrived

The puppies arrived a day early, Thursday. 11 puppies indeed. All are doing pretty good. Due to the size of this litter I am working extremely hard making sure the small ones keep up with the big ones. We have 7 black females, 1 white female, 2 cream females and 1 male apricot. Yes I know this is disappointing news for my male puppy buyers. 10 girls and 1 boy litter will probably go down in history, in every ones poodle circle. So please check in often and follow the pups journey for the next 8 to 9 weeks. Until next time "think female" .

5 Days to Go Before Delivery

Hello again. Jewel had a low dose x ray last Thursday, July 17th, to check on the number of pups she'll be delivering and it was an astonishing 11. As she delivers each one we towel dry them, check the sex and weigh them. Then we assign he or she a colored Rick Rack collar. That color collars stays with that particular pup until it leaves for their new home...I'm hoping there's enough Rick Rack colors for as many pups she's going to have :-)
Obviously with this many pups and 7 nipples I'll be weighing the pups daily and shifting pups around on her. It's easy for a pup to loose ground with this size litter so I won't be leaving her side for awhile. Look for another update and video by Sunday the 27th.
