Our Family

---

Southern Belle Poodles is located in Poplarville MS. We are an in home hobby breeder of AKC and Champion lines. We strive to breed for confirmation, health, and temperament. We have a small program that way we can devote ample time and love to each of our dogs and puppies. Our dogs are our family members and we are dedicated to finding them each a home best suited to their needs and their new owner's needs. Our dogs live in our home and are valued members of our family first and foremost.

 Puppies need time to nurse, grow and develop with their mother and littermates before they can join their new families. A newborn puppy should stay with their breeder, mom, and siblings as they develop physically and gain new social skills alongside their brothers and sisters. The age a puppy can go home depends on the breed, and even the individual, but generally is around two months.

(Enrichment & Socialization) 

Our puppies receive daily handling from family and regular grooming from the age of 4 weeks. 

We utilize the following enrichment methods: Our puppies are born in a quiet, dark place in our home to allow development until their eyes open, during this time we practice early neurological stimulation and hold pups daily, Potty opportunities on various surfaces, Early stages of crate training, Toys, e.g. Ball, Noises , Grooming Desensitization, Sound Stimulation, Socialized with Children, Touch Desensitization, Household Desensitization.

 We also have friends and family who come over to handle the puppies and help out with the puppies daily. We do not take them to public places to expose them to people as they are not fully vaccinated until 16 weeks.

Included with Puppy

We send our puppies home with a toy with Mom's Scent, Toy with Littermates' Scent, Puppy Collar, Food Starter Bag, Certificate of Health, AKC Registration.

It’s our goal is to have our adult dogs  health tested   - PawPrint Genetic Panel (Breed Specific), Full Embark Panel, PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd)

Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

They are raised in a healthy, loving environment. Our puppies will be vaccinated, dew claws removed, tail docked, and dewormed. Puppies come with a 1 year health guarantee.

We have the following options available for getting your new puppy home.
