We here at Autumn
Shades Standard Poodles wanted a hunting dog, but yet wanted a family member who did not shed. After
having a standard poodle named Kadin, and saw his love of the water we decided to check into finding a breeder who
had poodles with hunting backgrounds. The poodle was orginally bred and used for retrieving in Germany. The
name poodle comes from the German word Pudel, which is short for Pudelhund, which means "splashing dog". This reflects the
breed's use as a water dog.
Many people who contact me only think I breed "hunting Poodles" there really is no such thing as hunting
poodles. There are however poodles that hunt but it is up to the new owner to train that poodle.
What we look for in our puppies is puppies that love to retrieve, puppies that love water, and puppies
that want to work and be with you.
Our goal at Autumn Shades Standard Poodles is
to produce genetically healthy, well comformed puppies with the drive to be great working dogs as well as wonderful family
companions. Our puppies are evaluated by a veterinarian at 6 and 8 weeks of age for health and at 7 weeks of age for
temperament by a trainer/behaviorist.

Mike travels around the United States waterfowl hunting. It has become his passion, and what better way to enjoy
your passion than to have a standard poodle accompany you. In the above photo Mike spent the day hunting with Sean Mann in
Maryland.
Beautiful Bea has been sent away to boarding school.
We decided to send Bea to a professional trainer. She is with Tierra at Trinty
Labradors. Tierra has accomplished so much in such a short time with her Labs without
the use of harsh training methods. I'm sure Tierra and Bea will make us very proud.
