SmithPoodle Testimonials

"Here are a couple of photos of Elouis (AKA Louie) at four months. I'm so proud of her and the many compliments I receive on her beautiful brindle coat. She's a great friend and hiking companion. She's already learning some agility tricks (hoop jumping is her favorite) and she's even tried her paw at a little search and rescue training. I do admit, though, it's a challenge staying one step ahead of her. Can't you tell by her eyes in this photo how she's plotting to outsmart me?
 
Can't thank you enough for helping me fulfill my dream of owning and training a standard poodle! She's an endless source of joy!"

"This is Cheri Andrews and I got my wonderful parti standard poodle from you on May 24, 2008. (Cloudy F#7). I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know how things are going. Her name is Zoe and when you said that standard poodles are so smart you have to spell in front of them, you were not kidding! It is amazing how smart she is! Zoe is also the big hit of the family. My kids come home from college just to see her! She has such a wonderful personality, and is so much company, and brings so much joy into all of our lives. Zoe and I have attended puppy classes at Tulsa Dog Training Club and she is always the star pupil of her class. In fact, last night at class she won "top dog". (I wish I could say that I was surprised, but I wasn't).  I must say that she is absolutely ADORABLE!!
 
I am so glad that I stumbled upon your web site months ago. I cannot imagine life without my Zoe."
 
Thanks again,
Cheri Andrews
"CoCoa is fantastic STILL.  At night before we go to sleep she has to lay on top of me for just a few minutes for her last good night loves.  After she helped me teach the puppy kindergarten class last night I was working her in the class we are in and our teacher was showing me how to down her on a heeling patern without her head or rear end going down first - all at one time is what we are shooting for well CoCoa got tired  of all this and since the teacher had never seen her do her rolls she
decided it was time.  Walk - Drop - Roll.  We all about laughed till we cried.  The look she gave our teacher.  Everyone loves to watch her work.  She is so happy.  Sometimes she does add her own idea to the command.... "

Thank you for my chocolate Standard Poodle, CoCoa!

"We purchased two Standard Poodles from Smith Poodles about a year and a half ago and could not be happier. I have had Poodles my entire life and these two take the cake. Well behaved yet incredible energy and intelligence, some times smarter than what is good for them. They are our house dogs to be sure but love the outdoors and are incredibly athletic. My wife and I are runners and these two think nothing of running four or five miles with us but are also content with laying on the couch and watching TV with us, yes watching TV and their favorite is the Animal channel! I have No reservations in recommending a Smith Poodle to anyone. They are truly wonderful dogs!"

"He just missed the bird!"

"Our family lost our beloved 8 year old male PWD last August to a brain tumor
within two weeks of seeing the first symptoms. After two weeks of being
totally crushed by the loss we decided that we were going to have to add the
fourth leg of the family back under us. Since asthma is a factor with us we
knew it was going to have to be another PWD or a Standard Poodle to raise
with our 10 year old PWD.  I started surfing the web for a puppy of either
breed and discovered Smith Kennels and their great looking Standard Parti Poodles.
Both of our hearts gave a tug when we saw the pictures of Jaz and knew he
would be the one. We were both a little apprehensive about ordering a puppy
on line without seeing the parents in person but a couple of phone calls to
past clients that had purchased puppy's through the Smith Kennels convinced
us to go ahead. Jaz has turned out to be all we hoped for - bright - funny
and with a great easy going personality. He has melded well with our older
alpha dog and now considers him her puppy to raise. We will purchase
another puppy through them when Liz passes on."

"Three years ago I started a very extensive search for a new standard poodle.  Fortunately I found Smith Poodles and that changed everything. Piper, 
the beautiful girl in the foreground, just captured my attention and 
next my heart. This gorgeous dog is gentle and kind with my little 
old toy poodles. The surprise was what an athlete she soon proved to 
be. I took her to the poodle club fun runs where she easily displayed 
her grace and speed. I knew she would enjoy a buddy to run and play 
so after two years I went back to Smith Poodles for my gorgeous parti standard poodle, Beau.  A big gentle boy who loves to snuggle on the couch and tries his best 
to keep up with Piper. He is still a pup so I know he will make it. 
He is greatly admired wherever I take him for his outstanding 
confirmation and distinctive markings.
Smith Poodles consistently is providing outstanding standard poodles!"

"This is my beautiful Jakki, a Bridgett and Max female born in September of 2006.  I have toy poodles, but always dreamed of the day when I could own one of the beautiful Standard Poodles.  I had spent many hours perusing the web and searching the standard poodle sites.  Yours was the one site that I would always return to.  The quality and beauty of your standard poodles could not be matched.  When the time came that I was able to purchase a parti standard poodle, yours was the kennel that I chose. Jakki came to my home via plane and was a wonderful, healthy, affectionate darling right from the start.  She is so smart and a beautiful companion.  I recommend Smith Poodles to anyone who is considering adding this wonderful breed as a new member to their home. Thank you once again for my lovely Jakki."

"Our brindle & white parti standard poodle, Elliot arrived in 10/06, son of Mo Bandy/Candice. He has added more to our family than we could have imagined! He excels at obedience training, loves agility class and is about to take his Canine Good Citizen test to join the rank of therapy dogs, visiting children at hospitals. Intelligent, sensitive, affectionate, he's a 57 lb. lap dog. Whatever is done, is done with great conviction, be it cohorting with his standard poodle brother, swimming at the dog pool, hiking in the Colorado Rockies, watching Animal Planet, or just being a couch potato.  We think of you at Smith Poodles with such appreciation for all the right things you must do to have provided us with a well socialized, easy to groom, fun loving guy. Thank you for our boy!"

"This is Mya (Lily's F#3) born 6/9/08. Now at 6 mos. old, Mya is a "chocolate beauty" standing 23 in. tall at the shoulders, with a 25 in. body length, weighing in at 49.2 lbs. Everywhere we go, people always say what a beautiful dog she is. Mya is a perfect lady at the groomers and the vet, they both rave about her. She rides in the rear-passengers seat, sitting in the window like a person, so well-behaved. Mya has run of the house, only crated when we can't take her with us, which is rarely. She loves people, other dogs & kids. Thanks to SmithPoodles for a well-socialized, intelligent puppy. When she arrived at the airport, she was so clean and beautifully groomed. Mya adapted quickly to her new home. We would never trust anyone else when it comes to Standard poodles. The service was great, the Smith family are great people.
Thanks again."

"We're really enjoying Coffey Bean (our poodle).  He is a real character and so much fun!!!  Your training in the first few weeks has been very helpful.  Thank you. 
Our daughter has anew little business selling harnesses, etc.  We are using him for a model and he sure is a good one."

"We had a great trip home with Abbie.  She travelled as well as you said.  She's excited about all the new things in the real world .
She has learned to sit, go to the door when she needs to go out, sit by her food bowl when it's empty, etc.  We'll be taking her to obedience school for puppies soon, but I think she may be ready to skip a few grades.
We're happy, proud, new parents and are grateful for the wonderful dogs you raise."

Hey Mick & Ann,
"As you know, Mo has a real "problem" with eating out of the trash cans. The mousetrap didn't work, he came walking out of the room with it attached to his beard, so I decided to outfox him, and bought all trash cans with a top!  Attached you will see how successful I was............"

Hi Smith Poodles

Just wanted you to know how much we adore our puppy.  At 6 months she knows all basic silent commands, is wonderfully calm, obedient and intelligent.  She's quite a hiking girl too, as the attached photo of our K.T. in Sedona, AZ, hiking on the Brins Mesa trail on April 12th shows.  Note the snow in the background which is unusual for this time.

K.T. is everything that you described and we are having so much fun with her.  We can't go anywhere without great conversation from people about what a beautiful well behaved pup she is.  Thank you for working with me to pick out her personality, as it fits our family perfectly.  When people ask me about her I give them your website address and tell them the type of wonderful experience I had dealing with you.

Again, I can't even begin to tell you how happy we are with this wonderful addition to our family.  K.T. is simply the greatest.

Thank you, Karen Yeamans

Would we recommend Smith poodles to anyone considering buying a poodle? You bet! We are currently owned by 3 Smith standards and love every minute of it! In 2006 after the death of my 17 ½ year old standard girl, I began searching the internet for a new playmate for my remaining standard boy Clifford who was 7 years old. I fell in love with the pic of Murphy a big brown and white boy, but we were very skeptical of buying a poodle online. We discussed this with Mick and decided to drive from Florida to the Smith farm. Mick and Anne were very accommodating and after a thorough tour of their facility we were very impressed and brought Murphy home. We were so impressed with Murphy (you can see his brother and sister Gemz and Jewelz on the Smith sire/dam webpage) that we got a playmate for him from Smith poodles 3 months later named Molly. She is our black and white princess and the apple of her daddy’s eye! Not quite a year ago not being able to resist a red standard boy we saw on the Smith website Clancy became part of our poodle family. All of our Smith poodles are healthy, calm, intelligent and athletic and just a pure joy to be owned by! We are stopped everywhere we go and complimented on their good looks and behavior.

Smith Poodles,
We love our Parti Poodle Lucie; parents are Candice and Mo Bandy (Feb.2007). Lucie is well-socialized and an excellent protector of our home. Her perfect day would be running off-leash in the woods or chasing her friends at the Dog Park, but never out-of-sight of her owner. I have birdfeeders set-up throughout our backyard, so she contently watches the birds and squirrels from our living room windows throughout the day. Evenings she cuddles with us on the couch. As you can see by the photos she happily travels with us where ever we go!! Her regal stature draws the attention of countless strangers asking questions about the breeder (Smith Poodles). Honestly I searched the website for weeks talking with different breeders, but was truly enlighten when I spoke with Mick and Teri at Smith Poodles. They were knowledgeable and insightful to my dream of owning a standard. Their passion for finding me the ultimate companion stood out among the rest! Lucie was my first dog as an adult and my husband was totally against me getting her, but as Mick promised she was going to be "Daddy's Little Girl" and she sure is! As I've shared many times before, thank you for sending us the perfect family member...she completes our life! These have been the best 2 years of our life and we owe it to you.

Hi, Everyone at Smith Poodles,
Thought I  would share some pictures of my chocolate standard smith poodle I and my husband purchased in Dec 2008. We have had so many people come up and ask about Deezel saying what a beautiful dog he is. Deezel is so smart, its hard to believe he can spell, but every time we spell eat, cookie or bone he knows what we are talking about. It s so fun having Deezel around and sharing our lives with him. We just want to say thank you for breeding such wonderful, loving animals as our Deezel.
 
Thanks Again, Rick and Connie Church
