What Our Families Say About Emerald Poodle
Real stories from real families. Over 800 families have trusted us to help them find their perfect poodle companion.
“From the first phone call to bringing Bailey home, the experience with Emerald Poodle was exceptional. The team answered every question we had, sent daily photo updates, and even called to check in after the first week. Bailey settled into our home like she'd always been here. You can tell these puppies are raised with genuine love and attention from the very first day. Our vet was immediately impressed with her health records, temperament, and overall condition. We've recommended Emerald Poodle to everyone we know and would absolutely adopt from them again in the future.”
“Charlie has been the best addition to our family. He came home already crate-trained and comfortable with household sounds, which honestly blew us away. The health documentation was thorough and the team at Emerald Poodle even included a blanket that smelled like his littermates to help him adjust. I couldn't have asked for a smoother process. From the initial application to the day we picked him up, everything was professional and caring. Charlie is now the most confident, happy little poodle and we couldn't imagine our lives without him.”
“We searched for a reputable poodle breeder for over a year before finding Emerald Poodle, and the difference in quality and care was immediately obvious. Penny arrived healthy, happy, and already socialized with people, children, and other dogs. Our vet was impressed with how thorough her health records were — every vaccination, every test result, everything documented in perfect detail. The team stayed in touch for weeks after we brought her home, offering advice on nutrition, training, and grooming. Penny is now the heart of our household and we are forever grateful.”
“Winston is our third poodle from Emerald Poodle and we keep coming back for a reason. The consistency in temperament and health across all three dogs speaks volumes about their breeding program and the dedication they put into raising each litter. Winston is calm, confident, and absolutely adores our grandchildren. He has fit seamlessly into our multi-dog household and gets along beautifully with our two older poodles. The team remembers us by name and always makes the process feel personal, not transactional. Truly world-class breeders.”
“As first-time dog owners, we were nervous about everything — from feeding schedules to potty training to vet visits. The team at Emerald Poodle was incredibly patient, walking us through every step and even helping us puppy-proof our apartment before Rosie arrived. Rosie is now nine months old and the sweetest little dog we've ever met. She's gentle with our toddler, sleeps through the night, and has learned over a dozen commands already. The ongoing support from Emerald Poodle has been invaluable and we truly feel like part of their extended family.”
“I drove twelve hours to pick up Max from Emerald Poodle and it was worth every mile. Meeting the parent dogs and seeing the clean, loving environment where he was raised gave me complete confidence in my decision. Max has a wonderful disposition — friendly with strangers, gentle with our cat, and endlessly loyal to our family. The team sent us home with a comprehensive puppy care package including food samples, a training guide, and his favorite toy from the litter. It's clear that Emerald Poodle genuinely cares about where each puppy ends up.”
“Ginger is the light of our lives and we owe it all to the amazing team at Emerald Poodle. What impressed us most was the lifetime support promise — and they truly mean it. When Ginger had a minor stomach issue at four months, we texted at 10pm and received a helpful, detailed response within fifteen minutes. That kind of care and accessibility is incredibly rare in this industry. Ginger has grown into a confident, playful, and affectionate companion who brings joy to everyone she meets. We tell every dog lover we know about Emerald Poodle.”
“Duke came home with more paperwork than our mortgage — and we mean that in the best possible way. Health records, vaccination history, genetic testing results for both parents, a detailed feeding guide, training tips, grooming recommendations, and even a timeline of his early socialization milestones. Everything was organized and professional. Duke himself is a perfect little gentleman. Calm, well-adjusted, healthy, and eager to please. Our veterinarian said he's one of the best-documented puppies she's ever examined. Emerald Poodle sets the gold standard.”
“Luna has completely changed the dynamic in our home — for the better. Our kids are learning responsibility, our evenings are filled with laughter, and mornings start with puppy snuggles. The team at Emerald Poodle matched us with Luna based on our family's lifestyle and energy level, and they got it exactly right. She's gentle enough for our five-year-old but playful enough to keep up with our ten-year-old. The matching process was thorough and thoughtful, and it's clear they put the puppy's wellbeing first in every decision they make.”
“I've worked with several breeders over the years and Emerald Poodle sets the standard. Their transparency about health testing, their willingness to answer hard questions, and their genuine care for where each puppy ends up — it's clear this is a passion, not just a business. Biscuit arrived in perfect health, already familiar with basic handling, and with a temperament that our trainer described as remarkably well-balanced for his age. The follow-up care has been equally impressive. Emerald Poodle is simply the best in the business and I will always recommend them.”
“Teddy is our second poodle but our first from Emerald Poodle, and the difference is night and day. He arrived confident, healthy, and already familiar with basic commands like sit and come. Our older poodle took to him immediately, which we credit to the excellent early socialization work done by the Emerald Poodle team. Teddy is now a year old and has grown into the most loving, intelligent, and well-mannered dog we've ever owned. The breeder's commitment to temperament and health testing is genuinely impressive and produces outstanding puppies.”
“We adopted Olive from Emerald Poodle for our daughter's tenth birthday and it was the best decision we've ever made. Olive is patient, playful, and so intuitive with children — it's almost like she reads the room. The team took time to understand what we were looking for in a family dog and paired us with the perfect puppy. Truly a five-star experience from start to finish. The adoption process was smooth, the communication was excellent, and the post-adoption support has been wonderful. Olive has brought so much happiness into our home.”
“Mochi traveled across the country to join our family in Seattle and she handled the journey beautifully. The Emerald Poodle team coordinated everything — flight nanny, health certificate, travel crate, and real-time updates throughout the entire trip — with meticulous attention to detail. When Mochi arrived, she was calm, curious, and ready to explore her new home. She's now thriving in the Pacific Northwest, rain and all. We were nervous about the long-distance process but Emerald Poodle made it completely stress-free and we would do it again in a heartbeat.”
“I'm a retired veterinarian and I was thoroughly impressed with the health protocols at Emerald Poodle. The hip scoring, cardiac evaluations, PRA screening, patellar luxation testing, and comprehensive genetic testing they perform on their breeding dogs exceed what I see from most breeders in the country. Hank is a healthy, happy boy with excellent structure and a wonderful temperament. From a professional standpoint, I can say with confidence that Emerald Poodle is doing breeding the right way. I recommend them without any hesitation whatsoever.”
“Poppy has been with us for two years now and she's the center of our world. What I appreciate most about Emerald Poodle is that the relationship doesn't end when you bring your puppy home. The team still checks in periodically to see how Poppy is doing, asks about her milestones, and offers advice whenever we need it. They remember her name, her birthday, and her favorite toys. That ongoing relationship means everything to us and it shows the level of care that goes into every single puppy they raise and place with families.”
“Scout arrived on a cold January afternoon and immediately made himself at home. Within an hour he was napping on the couch like he'd lived here forever. The early socialization these puppies receive at Emerald Poodle is remarkable — Scout is confident around new people, unfazed by loud noises, and incredibly well-mannered for his age. Our dog trainer was amazed at how much groundwork had already been laid before Scout even came to us. We credit all of that to the exceptional care and dedication of the Emerald Poodle breeding program.”
“We chose Emerald Poodle because of their comprehensive health guarantee and transparent breeding practices, and we're so glad we did. Clover is the picture of health — bright eyes, glossy coat, endless energy, and a temperament that is absolutely golden. Our vet says she's one of the healthiest puppies he's examined in his twenty years of practice. The breeding program at Emerald Poodle clearly prioritizes wellbeing above all else, and it shows in every single puppy they produce. We couldn't be happier with our beautiful girl.”
“Ziggy is pure joy in a tiny package. He's confident, social, and absolutely loves meeting new people and dogs. We took him to puppy class at eight weeks old and the trainer commented on how well-socialized he was compared to the other puppies in the group. That's a direct reflection of the care he received in his first weeks of life at Emerald Poodle. The early neurological stimulation program they follow is clearly effective. Ziggy learns new commands faster than any dog we've ever had and his recall is already nearly perfect at five months old.”
“Maple is our Miniature Poodle from Emerald Poodle and she is absolutely stunning. Beyond her beauty, her temperament is everything we hoped for — calm, affectionate, and wonderful with our toddler. The breeder was honest about what to expect from the breed and helped us prepare properly with detailed guidance on nutrition, grooming, and training. No surprises, just a perfect match. Maple has brought so much warmth and happiness into our home. We are already talking about getting a second poodle from Emerald Poodle in the near future.”
“I adopted Finn from Emerald Poodle as a companion after losing my senior poodle of fifteen years. The team handled the situation with such empathy, kindness, and care. They took the time to understand my grief and helped me find a puppy whose temperament would complement my lifestyle as a single professional. Finn has filled my home with laughter again and I'm forever grateful. He's gentle, loyal, and has the most expressive eyes. The transition was smoother than I ever expected, and I know my senior girl would have approved of her little brother.”
“Cooper joined our family six months ago and has been an absolute dream from day one. The team at Emerald Poodle spent nearly an hour on the phone with us before we even applied, making sure we understood the breed and what to expect. That level of care continued through every step of the process. Cooper arrived healthy, confident, and already accustomed to a regular routine. He sleeps through the night, walks beautifully on a leash, and has the most gentle mouth we've ever seen on a puppy. Emerald Poodle raises exceptional dogs.”
“Pearl is our pride and joy. We were first-time poodle owners and had so many questions about coat care, exercise needs, and temperament. The Emerald Poodle team answered every single one with patience and detail. They even connected us with a local groomer they trust and sent along a grooming schedule for Pearl's coat type. That kind of above-and-beyond service is what sets Emerald Poodle apart from every other breeder we considered. Pearl is now a confident, beautiful girl who turns heads everywhere we go. We couldn't be more thrilled.”
“Rufus has been the most wonderful addition to our family. We have three children under the age of eight and we needed a puppy with the right temperament to handle the chaos of a busy household. The Emerald Poodle team listened carefully to our needs and matched us with Rufus, who has been patient, playful, and incredibly resilient since the moment he arrived. He lets the kids dress him up, follows them around the yard, and curls up with them at bedtime. The matching process was spot-on and we are so grateful for the care that went into the selection.”
“Hazel is my hiking buddy, my couch companion, and my best friend. As someone who lives alone and works from home, I wanted a dog that would be both active and calm — and Emerald Poodle delivered exactly that. Hazel can hike five miles in the morning and then nap peacefully at my feet while I work in the afternoon. The team at Emerald Poodle took the time to understand my lifestyle and recommended the perfect puppy for me. Their personalized approach to matching families with puppies is truly something special and I am forever thankful.”
“Beau is everything we hoped for and more. The entire experience with Emerald Poodle was seamless — from the initial inquiry to bringing Beau home, every interaction was professional, warm, and informative. Beau arrived with a comprehensive health portfolio, a transition guide, and even a small bag of the food he was weaned on so we could gradually switch him over without any digestive issues. That thoughtfulness in the small details tells you everything about how Emerald Poodle operates. Beau is now thriving and we are completely in love with our little boy.”
“Willow is the sweetest, most gentle soul we have ever met. She came to us from Emerald Poodle at ten weeks old and immediately won over everyone in the family, including our skeptical father-in-law who swore he was not a dog person. Willow has a way of reading people and responding with exactly the right energy. She's calm when you need calm and playful when you're ready for fun. The socialization work that Emerald Poodle does in those first crucial weeks is clearly exceptional and we see the results every single day in Willow's behavior.”
“Tucker has been part of our family for over a year now and he continues to amaze us every day. His intelligence is remarkable — he learned to ring a bell to go outside within two days of coming home and now knows over thirty commands. The foundation that Emerald Poodle laid during his first weeks of life made our training journey so much easier than we expected. Tucker is healthy, happy, and has the most wonderful temperament. Our neighbors, our vet, and even strangers at the park regularly comment on what an exceptional dog he is. All credit goes to Emerald Poodle.”
“Daisy has completely transformed my daily routine for the better. I adopted her from Emerald Poodle after my retirement and she's given me a renewed sense of purpose and companionship. The team was so thoughtful during the matching process, asking detailed questions about my activity level, living situation, and what I was looking for in a companion. Daisy is calm, affectionate, and absolutely loves our daily walks around the neighborhood. She's become something of a local celebrity — everyone on our block knows her name. Thank you, Emerald Poodle, for this precious gift.”
“Bentley is our handsome boy from Emerald Poodle and he has exceeded every expectation we had. We did months of research before choosing a breeder and Emerald Poodle stood out for their transparency, their health testing protocols, and the glowing reviews from other families. Bentley arrived in perfect health with a calm and confident demeanor that told us he had been raised in a loving, stimulating environment. He bonded with our family almost instantly. Our children adore him and he is gentle and patient with each of them. Emerald Poodle is truly the gold standard for poodle breeders.”
“Coco is our second puppy from Emerald Poodle and just like our first, the experience was absolutely flawless. The team remembered us from our first adoption three years ago and made the process even smoother this time around. Coco and our older poodle, Mocha, bonded within hours of meeting each other, which we credit entirely to the socialization program at Emerald Poodle. Both dogs are healthy, well-tempered, and bring immeasurable joy to our lives. We will always be loyal Emerald Poodle families and we recommend them to everyone who asks about our beautiful dogs.”
“Penny is the most precious puppy we've ever had the pleasure of raising. From the moment we connected with the Emerald Poodle team, we knew we were in good hands. They were honest, thorough, and genuinely invested in making sure Penny went to the right home. The health documentation was impeccable, the communication was outstanding, and the puppy herself is absolutely perfect. Penny is friendly, curious, and loves to cuddle on the couch after a long day of play. She has enriched our family's life in ways we never could have imagined. Emerald Poodle is simply the best.”
“Oliver is everything I could have wished for in a companion dog. I'm a graduate student and was worried about balancing puppy care with my studies, but the Emerald Poodle team helped me choose a puppy with a temperament that would work well with my schedule. Oliver is independent enough to nap while I study but affectionate enough to keep me company during long writing sessions. He's smart, calm, and an absolute gentleman at the dog park. The team even followed up to make sure he was settling in well during my busiest weeks. That level of care is what makes Emerald Poodle exceptional.”
“Ruby has been with us for eight months now and she's completely stolen our hearts. We were drawn to Emerald Poodle because of their emphasis on health testing and early socialization, and Ruby is living proof that their methods work. She is confident, friendly, and has never met a person or dog she doesn't want to befriend. Our vet has commented multiple times on how healthy and well-structured she is. Ruby's coat is gorgeous, her temperament is outstanding, and her energy level is exactly what we were looking for. Emerald Poodle delivered on every promise they made.”
“Milo is the most well-adjusted puppy we have ever encountered. From the first day he arrived from Emerald Poodle, he acted as if our home was his home. He slept through his first night, ate his meals without hesitation, and greeted our neighbors with a wagging tail and zero anxiety. We have owned dogs for over thirty years and have never seen a puppy transition this smoothly. It speaks volumes about the early care and socialization that Emerald Poodle provides. Milo is now a beloved member of our family and we are deeply grateful for the outstanding work this team does.”
“Sadie is our dream dog — gentle, intelligent, and absolutely beautiful. We fell in love with her photos on the Emerald Poodle website and the reality exceeded every expectation. Sadie has the softest temperament and a natural ability to sense when someone needs comfort. She cuddles up to our elderly mother during visits and plays gently with our young nephew. The team at Emerald Poodle matched us perfectly and the entire adoption process was smooth, transparent, and filled with genuine warmth. Sadie is the best decision our family has ever made, without question.”
“Archie is my first dog and I cannot imagine a better introduction to dog ownership. The team at Emerald Poodle took extra time with me because I was a first-time owner, explaining everything from crate training basics to nail trimming schedules. They were never impatient, never dismissive, and always available when I had questions — which was often in those first few weeks. Archie himself is brilliant. He's loyal, adventurous, and picks up on routines faster than I do. Emerald Poodle didn't just sell me a puppy — they set me up for success as a dog owner. I'm endlessly grateful.”
“Nola is an absolute gem and our family adores her. We initially contacted three different breeders and Emerald Poodle was the only one that asked us more questions than we asked them. They wanted to know about our home, our yard, our kids' ages, our work schedules, and even what kind of activities we enjoy as a family. That thorough screening process told us they truly care about placing puppies in the right homes. Nola has thrived in our household and fits in like she was always meant to be part of our family. The care, professionalism, and heart behind Emerald Poodle is unmatched.”
“Otis arrived from Emerald Poodle on a snowy February morning and immediately melted our hearts. He was calm during the car ride home, explored the house with quiet curiosity, and was napping in his crate within the first hour. We had prepared for weeks of sleepless nights and constant accidents, but Otis proved us wrong on both counts. He was nearly housetrained by the time he arrived and adapted to our schedule within days. The groundwork that Emerald Poodle puts into their puppies during those first weeks is extraordinary, and we reap the benefits of that dedication every single day.”
“Bruno is our big, beautiful Standard Poodle and he is the gentlest giant we have ever known. The Emerald Poodle team guided us through the entire process of choosing the right size and temperament for our family, and Bruno was the perfect recommendation. He is patient with our two cats, gentle with our baby, and endlessly loyal to everyone in the household. His health has been excellent — not a single issue since we brought him home. The genetic testing and health protocols at Emerald Poodle clearly produce dogs of exceptional quality. Bruno is proof of that every single day.”
“Ellie is the best thing that has happened to me in years. After a difficult period in my life, I decided to adopt a puppy for companionship and emotional support. The Emerald Poodle team was incredibly understanding of my situation and helped me choose Ellie, whose calm and affectionate nature is exactly what I needed. She greets me every morning with gentle kisses and stays by my side through the day. Her presence has brought peace and purpose back into my life. I cannot thank Emerald Poodle enough for the compassion they showed throughout the entire adoption process.”
“Jasper has been part of our family for nearly two years and continues to impress everyone he meets. As an active family that loves hiking, swimming, and outdoor adventures, we needed a dog who could keep up with our lifestyle — and Jasper does exactly that with enthusiasm and grace. The team at Emerald Poodle understood our needs from the first conversation and matched us with a puppy who has the perfect blend of athleticism and affection. Jasper is our adventure companion and our evening cuddle buddy. He truly has the best of both worlds, and we have Emerald Poodle to thank for that.”
“Lulu is our tiny Toy Poodle and she has the biggest personality in our entire household. We chose Emerald Poodle because of their reputation for producing well-tempered, healthy puppies, and Lulu is a shining example of that commitment. Despite her small size, she is confident, fearless, and incredibly smart. She learned her name within the first day and was sitting on command by day three. The care package we received included everything we needed for her first week at home. Emerald Poodle thinks of everything and we are so pleased with our experience from beginning to end.”
“Chance truly lived up to his name — taking a chance on a puppy from Emerald Poodle was the best decision our family has ever made. From the detailed health records to the personal video updates during his first eight weeks, Emerald Poodle kept us connected to Chance before he even came home. Watching him grow through those weekly photos and videos made the wait so much more exciting. When we finally held him in our arms, it felt like we already knew him. Chance is healthy, happy, and the most loving dog we could have asked for. Thank you, Emerald Poodle, from the bottom of our hearts.”
“Gigi is my little shadow and I wouldn't have it any other way. As a single woman in my sixties, I wanted a companion who would be loyal, manageable, and affectionate — and the Emerald Poodle team helped me find exactly that in Gigi. She is a petite Toy Poodle with the heart of a lion and the gentleness of a lamb. She goes everywhere with me — the farmers market, the coffee shop, even my book club meetings — and everyone falls in love with her. The team at Emerald Poodle truly cares about creating lasting matches between puppies and people, and Gigi is proof of that commitment.”
“Zeus is our majestic Standard Poodle from Emerald Poodle and he commands attention wherever he goes. But beneath that regal appearance is the sweetest, most loyal dog our family has ever had. Zeus is incredible with our three children, gentle with strangers, and protective without ever being aggressive. His training has been an absolute joy because he is so eager to learn and please. The Emerald Poodle team prepared him beautifully during his first weeks of life, and that foundation has made him the remarkable dog he is today. We are so proud to be an Emerald Poodle family.”
“Millie is the puppy we always dreamed of but never thought we would actually find. She's affectionate without being needy, playful without being destructive, and intelligent without being stubborn. The team at Emerald Poodle listened carefully to what we were looking for and selected Millie from their current litter as our perfect match. They were right on every count. Millie adjusted to our home within days and has been a model puppy ever since. The health guarantee, the follow-up support, and the quality of the breeding program are all truly outstanding. We could not be happier.”
“Toby has been with us for three months and we are absolutely smitten. Our family includes two teenagers who were initially lukewarm about getting a dog, but Toby won them over within the first twenty-four hours. He's playful, goofy, and full of personality. The Emerald Poodle team was wonderful throughout the entire process, keeping us updated with photos and health milestones as Toby grew. When we picked him up, they spent over an hour walking us through his routine, his preferences, and tips for a smooth transition. That kind of dedication to each puppy and family is what makes Emerald Poodle truly special.”
“Rosie is my constant companion and the best friend I didn't know I needed. I found Emerald Poodle through a recommendation from my veterinarian, who said they consistently produce some of the healthiest poodle puppies she has ever seen. After speaking with the team and learning about their breeding philosophy, health testing, and socialization protocols, I knew I had found the right breeder. Rosie arrived in perfect health with a calm, curious disposition that made the transition effortless. She is now my walking partner, my reading companion, and my daily source of unconditional love. Thank you, Emerald Poodle.”
“Duke is the fourth dog our family has owned but the first from a truly dedicated, ethical breeder like Emerald Poodle. The difference is remarkable. Duke's health, temperament, and intelligence are on a completely different level compared to our previous dogs. He came to us with a solid foundation of socialization and basic manners that made the first few weeks at home so much easier than we anticipated. The Emerald Poodle team's commitment to their breeding program is evident in every aspect of Duke's personality and health. We wish we had found them years ago.”
“Ivy is our beautiful Miniature Poodle and she has brought more joy into our home than we ever thought possible. The Emerald Poodle team walked us through every step of the adoption process with patience and warmth, from selecting the right puppy to preparing our home for her arrival. Ivy came home healthy, happy, and brimming with personality. She loves to play fetch in the backyard, curl up on the sofa for movie nights, and greet every visitor with a wagging tail and happy dance. Our family is complete now that Ivy is here, and we owe it all to the incredible team at Emerald Poodle.”
“Waffles — yes, that's really his name — is the most charming, delightful puppy we have ever had the pleasure of raising. Our grandchildren picked the name and it suits his sweet, warm personality perfectly. The team at Emerald Poodle helped us navigate the adoption process with care and professionalism, answering our many questions and making sure we felt confident every step of the way. Waffles arrived in excellent health with a thick, curly coat and the most soulful brown eyes. He has become the star of our family gatherings and the reason our grandchildren beg to visit every weekend. Emerald Poodle, thank you for bringing Waffles into our lives.”
