Our Approach

At Wanderlust Poodles we strive to produce the perfect pet for your family. Our dogs are part of our home life, our family, and hold a special place in my heart and I hope your puppy from us will be the same for you - a family member. Our dogs sleep in the bed, go to work with me at the groom shop, whelp and raise their puppies in our home (beside my bed..) and do everything with us from parades to festivals to walks in the park! They are our beloved pets first and foremost! I have a special interest in conformation shows, so my dogs are shown and titled in UKC and AKC reaching champion and sometimes even grand champion titles! We also enjoy rally, fast cat and barn hunt. I have totally enjoyed learning to groom them for show and love the special time I get to spend with them during maintenance grooming in between shows! Not only are our pets beautiful show dogs but they are also healthy and proven to be so before being bred. We check for things like VWB, DM, NEWS, PRA PRCD, hip and elbow displaysia, cataracts, and cardiac and thyroid issues! If you have any questions about testing on any of our dogs - just shoot me a message and I will be happy to share! Last but not least, temperament is a VERY big deal to me! Our dogs are loving, sweet and intelligent. They are willing to please as any poodle should be! I strive to produce a medium energy, biddable and sweet puppy for your family to enjoy. I hope you enjoy looking at our dogs and puppies on our website - please feel free to contact us when you are ready to bring home your very own Wanderlust Poodle Puppy!
How Our Puppies Are Raised
From conception our puppies are raised in love. We carefully plan each breeding based on structure, temperament and health. Once a litter is planned and our girl comes in season, we either take her to the stud or the stud may come to us. Once our girl has been bred, we then do an ultrasound at 4 weeks to confirm her pregnancy. At 4 weeks when pregnancy is confirmed we then take deposits to be on our waiting list based on how many we saw on the ultrasound. At 8 weeks we take our girl for an X-Ray to get an official count and make sure all is going well. Finally the day comes and we whelp her puppies in our home, usually in our bedroom or living room. I get down in the box with her and help her every step of the way and breathe life into every puppy (sometimes quite literally.) I go above and beyond to make sure puppies are healthy and off to a good start and do everything possible to see them make it to maturity. For the next 4 weeks, mother and puppies are close by to me so that I can watch over them and attend to them. At around 3-4 weeks, they will be introduced to many firsts including their first meal, crate, toys, water, and potty turf. This is when the hard work starts as puppies start eating more solid food and less milk. Mom stops cleaning up after them and so my poop scooping days begin! We teach puppies to use a potty area with fake grass in it to begin the potty training process and get them accustomed to wanting to potty on the grass. At 5 weeks they get to start exploring the outside world in their out door puppy pen for a few hours a day (weather permitting). This is where they experience more firsts including their first tunnel, wobble board, raised dog bed, dog house and in the summer, water to play in! By 7 weeks old they are happily spending most of their day outside enjoying the fresh air and sleeping inside in their nice clean puppy pen in our living room. This begins a routine for going out to potty and play and coming in to be calm and settled. At 8 weeks they visit our amazing vet for their well puppy exams before going on to their forever homes. We do not ship our puppies via air cargo but we do have delivery options available. Puppies can be picked up in person at our home or salon, we can meet you half way or deliver your puppy to you via car for the cost of expenses, or you can fly in to take your puppy home in cabin. I can also fly your puppy to your nearest airport in cabin with me at the buyer's expense. No puppy shall be transferred prior to our contract and health guarantee being signed with the original document in my hands. Please click here to view our contract and guarantee.





What our puppies go home with
Our puppies always go home microchipped, with their vaccine and health records, a well check exam and a go-home bag which includes the following:
-
​Current food
-
Treats
-
Toys
-
Chews
-
A blanket that smells like mom and littermates
-
Slip leash
​The above are the "minimum" items we add. We often put many more neat items in our puppy packs like collapsible bowls, licky mats and more depending on what we can find at the time. We like to spoil our new puppy families with lots of goodies, but each bag is a little different!
​
Our puppies also come with Prepaid Limited AKC Registration, Health Guarantee covering hips, eyes, elbows, heart, liver & kidneys, and lifetime breeder support!
Shipping & Transport
ALL TRANSPORTATION IS AT THE BUYER'S EXPENSE
​
I am willing to meet future families up to 3 hours away from Prescott, Arkansas at no additional cost.
​
Other means of transportation are as follows:
- Ground Delivery by breeder

​
WE DO NOT EVER SHIP PUPPIES VIA AIR CARGO.
​
I am sometimes able and willing to bring puppies along with me to a dog show and do not charge if you can meet me at one of those events if it makes it easier for you. In this case, puppies must be picked up on the day of arrival and are not to stay with us at a show as it is not safe for them!
