I'm the breeder behind Snow Poodle Standards located in Troutman, NC. We are built upon a foundation of love, admiration, and respect for the Poodle. We are building a legacy one Poodle at a time. We offer Grand Champion bloodlines and service dog temperaments. This is where amazing temperament, intelligence, and beauty meet!
About Christina
My husband and I have both rescued animals since we were young. When we got married, we combined our furbabies. Together we rescued over 22 animals at once, including 2 pregnant dogs. We found such joy and fulfillment in finding homes for all of the animals we had rescued and rehabilitated. When we came upon our first Poodle, we knew we wanted to carry that passion into our breeding program.
What makes Christina’s program special
Compassion, trust, and love are the building blocks of our program. We do everything we can to ensure we are providing you with a trainable, well-adjusted puppy. We welcome you into our house as part of our family. It would be our pleasure to introduce you to your next Poodle.

Why Christina started breeding
We got into breeding when we rescued a few pregnant dogs and fell in love with the puppies. We are continually learning how to be the best human parents to these wonderful fur babies. We love helping mold them into the best companions they can be.
