Welcome to Mithril Standard Poodles
I purchased my first standard poodle, Caesar, at Thanksgiving in 1982. He was shipped from Florida to me in Washington D.C. sight unseen, and it was the beginning of a lifetime of love and devotion to the breed. Prior to my first standard poodle I had always had dogs and owned various breeds including German Shepherds and Dobermans. Those two are great breeds but they both presented challenges for me and my lifestyle. By this time I already had 4 (of my 6) children and as an Army officer and a helicopter pilot I traveled a great deal. I wanted a dog that was as intelligent and loyal as the previous dogs I had owned but one that did NOT shed. I also wanted a dog that would be protective, but not to the extent that I had to worry when dozens of neighborhood children would run in and out of the yard and house. As the years passed I started showing my poodles in obedience, obtaining a Companion Dog (CD) certification on Caesar very quickly. My husband at that time showed American Staffordshire Terriers in confirmation and obtained AKC Champion titles on two of them. After our divorce it was too time consuming for me to continue to show my poodle and be a working single parent raising 6 children. So I only bred on occasion, keeping what I thought was the best representation of the breed.
