Do Breeders Also “Regular” Poodles As Pets? »

When shopping for your new poodle (and if you’re not planning on dog showing) explain to the breeder that you are looking for a “pet quality” Poodle. This doesn’t mean there will be anything wrong with the puppy; it means that, in the breeder’s opinion, the puppy will not achieve a championship in the show ring.
The word pet means something different to a breeder than it does to you. For a breeder, pet means “non-show quality.” To you, it probably means a dog you are going to take home and love. If you are thinking about showing your Poodle as a hobby, tell the breeder you are looking for a “show-quality” dog. Don’t use the word pet—even though he will be one.
