Raising a puppy is a life-long commitment, and we ask that you take
every opportunity to educate yourself about the step you are taking. To
help ensure that every puppy goes on to live happy healthy lives with
their new families, we carefully consider each home seeking to bring a
Sonne Standard Poodle puppy into their home.

wonderful breed. While we do not show our dogs, they boast
champions in their heritage. We are committed to sustaining

We moved to our new home at the end of
August, 2011. A big thank you to all who
have been sending best wishes in our
quest to get the dogs out into the country
with lots of room to run and play.

Now that we have moved to our new home, we will begin to
implement our dream of pursuing the training of our puppies so
that they may move into service work in various situations. As
we grow in knowledge and expertise, our goal is to continue
producing calm, loving, and intelligent family companions and
also provide many families with a puppy ready to learn the skills
Therapy dog can bring. Because our adult Standard Poodles
love their "Meet and Greet" sessions with visiting puppy
families, they are training to pass their Canine Good Citizens
testing for preparation to become Therapy Dogs themselves.

I recently received an email in regards to Crate-Training in which the
person sounded as though he/she thought my dogs/puppies lived in
crates all the time. Therefore, I thought perhaps I should share the
email I sent in regards as to what "Crate-Training" consists of:
Crate training does not involve keeping them in the crate all the time. It
is used for naps and overnight sleeping. This way when the puppies
wake up, they bark and let you know they need to go outside. Most do
not like to lie where they go to bathroom. Therefore, their crate size is
increased as they grow so by the age of 6 months, they have full use of
their large crate. It is also for their protection when you cannot watch
them as puppies will chew whatever they can get a hold of. Our adults
sleep in our bedroom without a crate, but many of them will nap in a
crate in the family room during the day if the door is left open. The
crate gives them a feeling of the "den". I cover my puppies crates lightly
at night with a sheet which makes it feel even more den-like and gives
them the cue it is time to settle and go to sleep.
Different families handle the work situation with their pets in different
ways. If you work only part-time hours, they will easily sleep in the
crate while you are gone. Many who have to leave them all day are
able to go home at lunchtime and give them a break. Others just are in
the crates all day. In that situation, lots of love and exercise is required
when you are with them in the evening. After the age of 2 years, most
Standards can be left out of the crate while you are not in the house.
I just received a call from a puppy "mom" yesterday; her little guy is 7
months old. She said she left him out for 3.5 hours yesterday and came
home to find everything in place. She calls once a month to tell me that
she has the smartest, most wonderful puppy in the world. lol
