Puppies
Texas AKC Standard Poodle Puppies
At Deblyns Poodles, the dedication to producing exceptional puppies goes beyond basic care. We recognize that selecting the right sire and dam plays a crucial role in maintaining and improving the Standard Poodle breed. Meticulous attention is given to the health, temperament, and conformation of the parents. Extensive health screenings are conducted to assess genetic health, minimizing the risk of hereditary conditions being passed down to the puppies. In addition to genetic testing, all potential parents receive hip and elbow x-rays, cardiac exams, and CAER eye exams. All genetic testing results and health exams are reported to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. Our goal is to be certified by the Canine Health Information Center. (CHIC Certification)

Below we will cover all the details of our puppy program, from puppy care, the reservation process, the selection process, cost, and pickup/transportation in greater detail.
Puppy Care Begins with Mother Care
Puppy Care Begins with Mother Care
Deblyns Poodles understands that the care provided to the dam is of utmost importance before, during, and after whelping. Prior to giving birth, the mother receives specialized attention to ensure her health and well-being. Regular veterinary check-ups, and prenatal care, help monitor her condition and address any potential issues. Adequate nutrition is prioritized, with a carefully tailored diet that supports the dam’s changing needs throughout her pregnancy.
During the whelping process, the dam is closely monitored by an experienced breeder to provide support and assistance if necessary. A quiet and comfortable birthing area is prepared, promoting a stress-free environment for the mother and her puppies. Skilled professionals are present to ensure the safety of both the dam and her offspring.
After whelping, the dam continues to receive exceptional care. She is provided with a clean and quiet area where she can bond with her puppies, allowing for peaceful nursing and nurturing. Proper care, including regular check-ups and vaccinations, helps the dam regain her strength and ensures her overall health.
Deblyns Poodles recognizes the physical and emotional demands placed on the dam during this period. As such, we provide ample rest and relaxation for the mother, allowing her to recuperate and bond with her puppies without unnecessary stress. At Deblyns Poodles we are always available to ensure the the dam receives the care she needs to thrive.
The ongoing care of the mother extends beyond the whelping process. Deblyns Poodles maintains a nurturing environment for the dam as she continues to raise her puppies. Adequate nutrition, exercise, and mental stimulation are provided to ensure the mother’s physical and mental well-being. Regular veterinary check-ups and health screenings are conducted to monitor her overall health and address any concerns promptly.
Deblyns Poodles understands that a healthy and happy mother is vital to the successful upbringing of her puppies. By prioritizing the ongoing care of the dam, we ensure that each puppy is raised in an environment where their mother’s well-being is paramount, leading to the development of healthy, well-rounded, and socially adjusted puppies.
Puppy Care
Puppy Care
Deblyns Poodles is renowned for their exceptional care and love for puppies. At Deblyns Poodles, the well-being of each puppy is our top priority. From the moment a litter is born, they receive round-the-clock attention and nurturing. Puppies are raised in a warm and comfortable home environment, ensuring their optimal growth and development. They are provided with a clean and spacious living area, complete with soft bedding, toys, and stimulating activities to encourage their mental and physical growth. A nutritious and balanced diet is carefully crafted to meet the needs of each puppy, promoting their overall health. Puppies begin potty training at about three weeks of age. The puppies’ area is kept very clean to encourage continued proper use of the litter area.
Regular veterinary check-ups, vaccinations, and deworming protocols are strictly followed to ensure the puppies’ well-being. Moreover, Deblyns Poodles emphasizes socialization, introducing the puppies to various stimuli, experiences, and gentle human interaction from an early age. This helps them develop into confident, well-adjusted, and balanced, sociable companions. With our unwavering commitment to excellence in care, Deblyns Poodles ensures that each puppy finds a loving and nurturing home.
Neonatal Daily Care
Neonatal Daily Care
At Deblyns Poodles, comprehensive care for the puppies starts early on, even before they can see or hear. At around three days old, certain procedures are carried out to promote their health and well-being. This includes the careful and professional docking of their tails and the removal of dewclaws. These procedures are conducted with utmost care and precision to ensure the comfort and safety of the puppies.
Additionally, starting from day three, the puppies at Deblyns Poodles benefit from Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI). These practices are designed to provide positive early experiences and stimulation for the puppies. ENS involves a series of gentle exercises that promote neurological development and enhanced stress tolerance, helping them become more resilient and adaptable throughout their lives. ESI introduces our puppies to various scents, preparing them for future training and enriching their sensory experiences. We handle these very young puppies with daily touching exercises that gradually come with increasing pressure as they get older. This makes for a puppy who willingly allows veterinary handling, show handling, Canine Good Citizen handling, and child handling. And then they open their eyes and you get to look into their loving hearts. And then the ears open and they can hear their world with full senses that will see and hear far more than the humans they will call “family”. And we get to call them “friend”. An awesome wonder…
Vaccinations, Worming, Microchip
Vaccinations, Worming, Microchip
Puppies are fully up-to-date vaccinated at their go home date, as directed by my veterinarian and also receive wormings every two weeks until they go home. They are given a full Veterinary examination prior to going home.
Puppies receive AKC Reunite microchips at seven weeks. These microchips are registered to new owners, before Go Home Day.
Advanced Puppy Curriculum
Advanced Puppy Curriculum
In line with our commitment to providing the best care and development for our puppies, Deblyns Poodles utilizes an advanced therapy puppy curriculum designed by Empowered Breeder. You may read further on this curriculum at Badassbreeder.com. This comprehensive program focuses on early socialization, enrichment, and positive reinforcement techniques. It includes various activities, exercises, and age-appropriate challenges that contribute to the puppies’ mental and physical development, setting a solid foundation for their future. This program is unique in that it focuses on puppy developmental milestones and presents new things when the puppy is ready and able to learn. It is also a program that respects the puppy and allows the puppy a voice in his future placement. Puppies are encouraged rather than enabled to push forward. It takes great courage and resilience to meet challenges and we provide cheerleading and encouragement to these precious youngsters.
By implementing these practices and following the carefully designed curriculum, Deblyns Poodles ensures that our puppies receive the highest quality care from the earliest stages of their lives. This holistic approach promotes their overall well-being, temperament, and prepares them to thrive in their future homes. And you get to see it all, because we video, photograph, and post almost daily to Instagram, Facebook, and/or Youtube, so that you know what is going on in the life of your new family member each day.
Temperament Testing
Temperament Testing
In addition to providing exceptional care and early development, Deblyns Poodles goes the extras mile to assess the temperament of their puppies. Around seven weeks of age, they engage in temperament testing using the Empowered Breeder temperament testing protocols. This testing process involves a series of standardized assessments that evaluate various aspects of each puppy’s personality, behavior, and social tendencies.
By employing the Empowered Breeder puppy aptitude/temperament testing, Deblyns Poodles gains valuable insights into the unique characteristics and potential of each puppy. The tests help identify individual strengths, such as confidence, trainability, sociability, and adaptability, as well as potential areas for further focus or support. This valuable information guides the selection process, allowing Deblyns Poodles to help match each puppy with the most suitable and compatible families. We greatly desire to place puppies as working dogs to those who need service animals, facility or therapy dogs, and Psychiatric or ESA assistants. We have placed many puppies as potential working dogs over the last several years, and many of them are now active service dogs. Please let us know if we can help you identify a puppy that could fulfill your needs for a potential service animal.
The Empowered Breeder temperament testing ensures that the puppies at Deblyns Poodles are not only visually and genetically exceptional, but also possess temperaments that align with the breed’s standard and the desires of potential owners. This thorough evaluation process helps in placing each puppy in an environment where they can thrive and develop their full potential as cherished, well-loved and respected companions.
By combining top-quality care, early development practices, and Badass Breeder temperament testing, Deblyns Poodles sets a high standard for ensuring the well-being, temperament, and long-term health and happiness of their puppies and the families they join.

Once you decide that you want to purchase a Deblyns Poodles puppy, fill out the Puppy Application, which is located at the top of this page or on the For Sale Page. After I review your application and speak with you, and you receive final approval, I will advise you to forward your Reservation Deposit of $500.00. This fee is not refundable, but may be forwarded to the next litter if you do not find the puppy of your dreams. You will then be placed on the Reservation List (waitlist) and notified when puppies are born. Puppies must be paid for by the time they are eight weeks old. Pick up of puppies is at eight weeks of age at Deblyns Poodles. I can also meet at Dallas Love Field Airport or Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. This will be discussed and finalized by the time the puppies are 5-6 weeks of age.
Puppy Selection
Puppy Selection
New Puppy Parents select their puppy after temperament testing and final vet checks are complete. You will pick your puppy with the knowledge of seven weeks of daily videos, pictures and health checks. Puppies are picked in the order that reservations deposits are received. Deblyns Poodles breeds for the betterment of the Standard Poodle breed and for potential service animals, if one has been requested. Therefore, I generally keep one or two puppies back for that purpose. We prefer that all our remaining puppies become spoiled members of your household and live a life of luxury, therefore, all remaining world class Standard Poodle puppies are placed with AKC Limited Registration and with spay/neuter agreements.
