Chesla Standard Poodles

I was introduced to the Standard Poodle at age 5 when our family adopted, Duke, and intelligent and reserved black male. He made quite an impression on our family because after adopting him, we always had 1 or 2 poodles in the house as I grew up! As an adult, I knew when the time was right to own a dog, it would be a standard poodle! Deliliah was my first female. She was a refined black beauty with a nice pedigree behind her. She was very loving, smart, and a great companion to our family. After careful consideration, I decided to breed her in 2005. We had 7 beautiful puppies and I was hooked! Our first litter triggered a desire in me to learn more about the breed standards, genetics, health, training, and versatality of this magnificent breed!

At Chesla Standard Poodles, the focus is to breed AKC registered puppies who are sound in health & temperament, pleasing to the eye, and a love in their owner's heart! Our adults live in our home and integrate in our daily living. When we have puppies, they are our special guests in the 3rd bedroom. They are handled daily and exposed to most household sounds and activity. We begin outdoor potty training between 3-4 weeks and by the time they go home, they are pretty much on a schedule similar to what most families function at.

We are located in Northern Indiana just a short drive away from Chicago, Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Southern Michigan.
