At Mainely Standards, we believe every dog deserves the right home and every family deserves the right dog.
Our puppies are raised in our home as part of our daily lives. From the day they are born, we spend countless hours observing, handling, socializing, and getting to know each puppy as an individual. This allows us to better understand their personalities and helps us make thoughtful recommendations when it comes time for them to join their forever families.
Health, temperament, and socialization are the foundation of our breeding program. We utilize health testing, provide early socialization, and focus on producing well-rounded companions that can thrive in a variety of homes and lifestyles.
What truly sets Mainely Standards apart is our commitment to matching. We don’t believe the best puppy is always the first puppy chosen. We believe the best puppy is the one whose temperament, energy level, and personality fit the family bringing them home.
Our relationship with our puppy families doesn’t end when a puppy leaves. Whether you have questions about training, behavior, nutrition, grooming, or simply want to share an update, we’re always happy to help. We believe support should last for the life of the dog.
Whether you’re looking for your first Standard Poodle or adding another to your family, we’re happy to answer questions and help you determine whether a Mainely Standards puppy is the right fit for you.
