Thank you for your interest in an OwlCroft Standard Poodle. Please take a moment to complete the application below. Be sure to fill out each question with the most complete information possible, as this will enable us to better match you with a puppy that we hope will meet your expectations.
General Notes:
OwlCroft does not accept waitlist deposits for litters that are not on the ground and healthy. If there are no puppies available, filling out this form will add your information to our database, and we will reach out when we have puppies that may be a good fit. If you are inquiring about a specific litter, please indicate that in the final question.
As we are a small kennel with a limited breeding program, puppy availability may vary by litter, and we take pride in matching our puppies with the best homes possible. We make every effort to honor color/sex requests, however, every puppy is individually evaluated for their new home and we do not guarantee that we will have a puppy that will meet your needs. As such, we do not typically commit specific puppies to specific homes until their final evaluations at around 8 weeks.
Please note: the yes/no questions at the end of this questionnaire are non-negotiable and will be part of your puppy contract should you be selected to purchase a puppy from us. To be considered for an OwlCroft puppy, you must answer "yes" to each. If you are unwilling to agree to those provisions, we wish you the best in your search for a new companion, however, we are likely not a good match for you.
If you have any general inquiries that are not addressed in this questionnaire, please use the general contact form on our website to reach out, and we will be in touch.
