I'm the breeder behind Serenity Standard Poodles located in Tacoma, WA. We are proud members of Columbia Poodle Club. I have been an all-breed professional groomer since 2001 and that is where my love for standard poodles was first born. We have been involved in obedience training and AKC conformation since 2012 and all our poodles receive all the necessary health testing and approval before being allowed to breed.
Q. & A. with Angelitta
Why did you start breeding?
Met a well respected breeder who offered me a show puppy and mentorship.
What makes your program special?
We follow the recommendations of our parent club, Poodle Club of America, when it comes to health testing our poodles. All of our puppies are raised with Puppy Culture to build strong confident dogs with great temperaments. We also participate in conformation, lure coursing, dock diving and other performance sports.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
