Frequently Asked Questions

We always post Poodle puppy photos and videos looking for a new loving home on our Instagram page @toy.poodles and here on our website, on this page.

Our litter batch is limited to 1 batch per mom, per year. Sometimes, 1 for every 2 years. We do not breed our poodles every heat cycle. Breeding Poodles is not our bread and butter or business. Never was, never will be.

At the most, we usually have 2 batches per year from different Poodle moms. Rarely 3. To know more, read Our Story.

Please read our Visitation Policy.

How much grooming is required really depends on you and how you wish for your poodle to look. You can shave your poodle down every 3 months or you can let the coat come in longer and leave the face furry and get your poodle groomed every 8 weeks.

Grooming can cost as little as P650.00 or as much as P2,500.00 depending on the groomer and how many tangles your poodle has to work through.

When searching for a groomer you need to know how they take care of the ears and anal gland. They need to check if ear hair should be pulled out. Anal glands need to be expelled regularly.

Dewclaw removal is most often performed in puppies around 7 and 14 days old – deepening on their size. Boudreaux Kennel removes dewclaws to prevent future injury. We have had our poodles dewclaws greatly injured at groomers who didn’t expect a dewclaw to be there and almost amputated it when clipping.

We have had our Poodles themselves almost pull their dewclaws off when caught in carpet while running. We have also seen dewclaws gotten forgotten for months and not been clipped. Dewclaws will wrap around itself and embed into the leg causing great discomfort and needing a great deal of care to clip if not surgery.

Dewclaws do not get worn down on their own like other nails as they do not touch the ground. An injured dewclaw has a major amount of blood loss and excruciating pain to the dog. As a result of all of this we now routinely remove the dewclaws to ensure our pups are injury fre

Tail docking is performed when the puppy is between 7 and 14 days old – deepening on their size. It takes seconds and mom is in the same room and nurses them directly after. There are a variety of reasons given for docking tails, aesthetics and adherence to breed standard being two of them.

We also feel that the purpose of our Poodles as pets, is also benefited by shorter tails as our dogs will not knock over small toddlers or the elderly with their long whip like tails or clear any coffee table drinks. While these may sounds like a trivial reasons, you just have to see a child with their head bleeding or face burnt from hot liquids or a hip operation done on the elderly to put everything back into perspective.

Our dog’s are born with a purpose and tail docking helps them best perform that purpose be it Loving Companion. While tail docking costs us more money at the Vet, (hence the popularity of tails being left natural), our priority is the welfare of our pup

NO.

Dog Trainer

We are also available to aid you in solving basic common puppy training issues. We do understand that puppy energy/behavior can be very overwhelming. We can aid you in finding a more suitable trainer to help you correct the puppy’s behavior.

Apologies, the trainer that we usually recommend already moved to the province  since mid 2020 due to COVID 19 pandemic. I will update this information as soon as I find someone that I can confidently recommend.

If you find that you are unable to care for your Boudreaux Poodle, please contact us immediately. We will gladly take him or her back at any age, for any reason and find another loving family. No questions asked.
