About Wendy
I am the owner of Emerald Gem Poodles, has been breeding poodles since 2003. I focus on raising healthy, genetically tested AKC puppies, emphasizing socialization and desensitization through early stimulation to ensure well-rounded pets for families. I also enjoy fishing in the St. Augustine inlet, aiming to catch redfish, flounder, and black sea bass.
What makes Wendy’s program special
My poodles stand out for their exceptional health and temperament. They live in my home with me, ensuring they are well-socialized and loved. I emphasize genetic testing for robust health and use early stimulation for well-rounded pets. My commitment to continuous learning and not overbreeding ensures that my AKC poodles are not only beautiful but also thrive in family environments.

Why Wendy started breeding
I got my first poodle in 2000 and fell in love with the breed. This passion led me to educate myself extensively about poodles and how to improve the breed. By 2003, I began breeding, focusing on raising healthy, genetically tested AKC puppies, and emphasizing socialization and early stimulation for well-rounded pets.
