Standard Poodles of Forest Lakes

Standard Poodles of Forest Lakes AKC Breeder of Merit and home of the first Poodle to be awarded the UKC National Best of Breed title. The health of our poodles is of paramount importance.

We produce quality Standard Poodles in our home from health tested and proven parents using evidence-based protocols. Welcome to Standard Poodles of Forest Lakes, where we take immense pride in our role as preservation breeders dedicated to producing top-quality standard poodles. Our poodles excel in various arenas, whether it's the show ring, performance sports, or simply as loving companions within their families. Our journey with standard poodles began in 2003 when our family discovered their exceptional qualities. Since then, we've added to our "pack" every few years, and we currently have 10 standard poodle family members across three households. Our dogs enjoy the sprawling 20 acres of our home and relish the warmth of the lake during summer days. Standard Poodles are renowned for their remarkable intelligence, sensitivity, patience, loyalty, and affection. They're exceptionally clean, non-shedding dogs, making them an excellent choice for families with children. Thanks to their hair (not fur), they are often considered "hypoallergenic." Regular grooming is essential for their health and happiness, and we offer a beginner's guide for those interested in learning grooming skills. Our commitment to showcasing the exceptional qualities of standard poodles extends to the show ring. We ensure that our poodles conform to the breed standard set by the national breed club, emphasizing structural soundness and stable temperaments. Furthermore, we employ genetic diversity testing to carefully select sires and dams, continuously strengthening and improving the breed. OFA health test results are readily available on each dog's page on our website. We also provide AKC DNA profiles (where applicable), 5-generation pedigrees, and comprehensive veterinary health records for both parents to approved purchasers. Our poodles are vet-approved for breeding, based on genetic and health testing, physical condition, and temperament. Our puppies receive the utmost care and attention. They are wormed four times, vaccinated, and thoroughly inspected by our veterinarian. Puppies join their new families at 10 weeks of age, having received two sets of puppy immunizations. We believe in giving our puppies the best start in life, which is why we've implemented Puppy Culture and Early Scent Introduction (Avidog) to enhance their development and socialization. Temperament testing at 7 weeks assists us in matching puppies with their new families. Our beloved foundation dam, 'Gigi,' hails from a venerable line of UK-bred standard poodles with a 70+ year history. Gigi embodies the timeless elegance of the breed, standing at 24 inches at the shoulders and weighing 57 pounds. Romeo, Gigi's son, boasts an impressive title as a UKC Sapphire Grand Champion. Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey with our standard poodles. We look forward to sharing our passion and commitment to this remarkable breed with you.

Lupin has his CHIC šŸ’ƒ Woot woot!

Lu is a UKC Grand Champion, from a wonderful pedigree, and lives in a fabulous Michigan guardian home with his loving family including children and four-legged family members.

And I just have to brag on his mom, Catherine. She has been such a great and supportive partner in Lupin's career and life. She brought him to shows well groomed and picked him up. Since I have been so very busy, she volunteered to take him to get his health testing done, even bringing him all the way to my side of the state to my favorite repro vet! Guardians are so important to keep ethical programs moving forward, and I couldn't do it without them! Catherine is a superstar, and our relationship is an ideal example of this partnership.

Lu's dam and sire are both clear for all DNA testable diseases, so he could technically be 'cleared by parentage' through OFA, but after some internal debate I recently ordered his individual DNA panel - mainly because it is simpler and cleaner than CBP and generally preferred for complete transparency.

Forest Lakes Beau Monde Alleurs ā€” ā€œLupinā€ has all of his CHIC requirements recorded in OFA as of today.

UKC Grand Champion ā€¢ Group Placing ā€¢ Proven Family Companion

Forest Lakes proudly presents ā€œLupin,ā€ UKC Grand Champion Forest Lakes Beau Monde Alleurs, a striking young male who exemplifies the elegance, soundness, and steady temperament characteristic of the modern Standard Poodle.

Lupin is a group-placing UKC Grand Champion, following in the footsteps of both of his decorated parents. His sire and dam are each group-winning Grand Champions, and his dam additionally holds her BCAT titleā€”demonstrating athleticism and drive alongside conformation excellence. Lupin carries this heritage forward with balance, correct movement, and an unmistakable ring presence.

When not in the show ring, Lupin enjoys life as a beloved member of his guardian family. He is wonderfully social, gets along seamlessly with his canine ā€œbrother,ā€ and is especially devoted to his kiddos, demonstrating the gentle, family-friendly temperament we are proud to produce. His visits with us for showing and camping have been a joy; Lupin conducts himself as a perfect gentleman in every setting, from grooming tent to RV campsite.

Lupin is available to approved bi***es whose breeders value health, structure, stable temperament, and a pedigree filled with proven excellence.

Inquiries welcome.
We look forward to discussing how Lupin may complement your breeding program.
