AKC-registered Poodle puppies

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that choosing a reputable Poodle breeder is a big decision. Below, you’ll find answers to the most common questions from families interested in our AKC-registered, health-tested Poodle puppies in Florida.

Adoption + Reservation

How does your reservation list work?

Families can reserve a spot on our waitlist with a $250 non-refundable reservation fee, which goes toward the final adoption cost. When our AKC Poodle puppies reach 7 weeks, we begin matching them to families based on temperament evaluations and lifestyle fit.

What if I didn’t join the waitlist but still want a puppy?

Occasionally, we may have puppies available after our initial temperament-based matching. In that case, a $1,000 holding fee is required to reserve one of our AKC Poodles.

Can I choose my puppy?

We believe in thoughtful matching. While preferences are welcome, we place puppies based on their temperament and what each family needs. This ensures the best fit — emotionally and environmentally — for our Poodle puppies and their lifelong companions.

Puppy Training & Temperament

How are the puppies raised before they go home?

Our Standard Poodle puppies are raised using a structured curriculum from day one. This includes:

- Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)
- Early Scent Introduction (ESI)
- Daily desensitization and handling
- Introduction to crate training, new surfaces, and household sounds

    These proven techniques help create confident, emotionally stable, family-ready puppies.

What kind of temperament should I expect?

Our puppies are known for their gentle, people-focused personalities. We breed with an emphasis on calm, intelligent temperaments ideal for family homes, emotional support, and therapy potential. Every AKC Poodle puppy is evaluated at 7 weeks before placement.

Go-Home + Support

What comes with my puppy at pickup?

Each Le Fleur Poodle puppy goes home with a thoughtfully curated go-home bag, including:

- Vet records, vaccination record, & fecal test
- Microchip
- A printed puppy manual
- Comfort toy & mama-scented blanket
- Starter food & training goodies
- Exclusive discount codes
- 30 days of Trupanion pet insurance

Do you offer support after we take the puppy home?

Absolutely. We offer lifetime breeder support to all of our families. Whether you need help with training, transitions, or just want to share updates, we’re here for you every step of the way.

Health & Vet Care

Are your parent dogs health tested?

Yes. All of our breeding dogs are fully genetically health tested and come from strong, ethical lines. We’re proud to offer health-tested Standard Poodle puppies that meet AKC breed standards and are raised in our home near Tampa, Florida.

    All documentation is provided in your go-home folder.
