Higher Standard Poodles is an sensational puppy organization.
Angie is SUCH a delight to work with! As a new puppy parent, she was available to answer any and all questions with professionalism and kindness. Shes incredibly knowledgeable and takes exceptional care of her puppies and dogs in a clean and loving environment. Additionally she kept us updated on their progress through Facebook Live & SMS. My new parti poodle is an absolute sweetheart, and I cant wait for the adventures he and I will have together - all of which couldnt be possible without H.S.P!

The owner loves dogs and even went out of her way to answer our questions. She gave regular updates before pickup day of our new puppy. He came already crate trained. He is happy and healthy. Our vet even complemented her when she found out where he came from. She said you got him from a great breeder. I would definitely get another puppy from her in the future. Thank you.

Working with Angie was a wonderful experience. She kept us well informed of the progress of our puppy. We received, videos of our puppy weekly sleeping, playing and feeding. Kennels were VERY clean, vet visits took place, shots, worming, and exams occurred. When it was time to pick her up, Stella was well on her way to being potty trained and familiar with simple commands. I highly recommend getting your pet from "Higher Standard Poodle".

Love Love Love my Millie! Getting Millie was a very last minute decision for me, BUT ITS BEEN MY BEST DECISION. Sense being in college I wasn't sure if getting a dog was a good idea, but Millie has been the sweetest, well behaved, and loving pup ever. The owners were so nice and very easy to work with. Picking her up was super easy aswell, we meet at the Hannibal McDonald's. Highly recommend getting a dog from them!! Very healthy and happy dogs;)

Our sweet, beautiful Chloe has been such a wonderful addition to our family. She is a wonderful little sister to our other dog, Lola. You can see the love that Higher Standard has for their puppies and adult dogs. The early stimulation and potty training they do with the puppies before they go to their homes makes a huge difference. We had a wonderful experience with Higher Standard Poodles

We had looked for a stand poodle with genetic testing, pedigree, health guarantees and knowledge that Higher Stand Poodles has.
Higher Standard Poodles are fantastic, answering any questions you may have, also making sure their dogs are top quality. We got our girl True from Standard Poodles 5 weeks ago and we are elated. She fits in with our family seamlessly. My 7 lb yorkie loves her as do my two grandchildren.
Cannot say enough about Higher Standard Poodles!
