Cinnfully Sweet
Standard Poodles
Welcome to the home of Cinnfully Sweet Standard Poodles. We are a small breeder, located in the gold country of Northern California, a short drive from beautiful San Francisco and Lake Tahoe. We breed and raise red standard poodles. Our focus is on health and companionship, with the goal to improve the breed, but also to breed sweet pups with temperaments calm enough and suitable for both service or therapy dog certification. We try to do this through health testing and obtaining titles on our breeding pairs, early extensive socialization of our puppies using *puppy culture guidelines.
Our puppies are born in our home, in a dedicated puppy room (which by the way is right off our great room and kitchen, in the heart of the our home). We are there every step of the way, from whelping to getting ready to their forever homes. When the puppies are old enough, they are exposed to all the sights, smells, and sounds that are needed to properly socialize a puppy. One of our goals is for each and every puppy to meet a plethora of people, from young children to older individuals. Our research has brought us to the realization that over vaccination and early spay and neuter could be shortening the lives of our beloved poodles. Therefore we encourage a minimal vaccine protocol and do not encourage spay and neuter until after our beautiful puppies are fully grown.
We hope you enjoy exploring our web pages and drop downs that follow, and as your can tell we are transparent in every aspect of our raising and socialization of these precious beings. Through pictures, videos, and our 'closed' 'private' FB group, where we post at least on video a day, each and every day of our puppies lives here at our poodle ranch, you can see how our puppies are interacted with, and getting the best start in life possible. With personal visits (after we have carefully screened you to assure our puppies safety) you can fully see each and every aspect of our breeding program. Now how many breeders can say that.
Puppy Education
NURSERY SCHOOL
It all starts in the nursery!
Without the right foundation nothing can stand tall and grow to its potential.
Durning the neonatal period (birth to 12 days) puppies cannot hear or see well, and stay near to their momma and litter mates.
Our nursery is a soothing place for our momma’s, but not isolated at all. It contains everything needed to bring our beautiful sweet puppies into the world with everything they need to grow strong and graduate to the next step.
In nursery school the puppies learn by smell & touch first, then slowly transition to seeing and hearing. In this time they experience *bio sensor or *ENS stimulation, per *puppy culture protocols, their first bath, first face-feet-tail path shaving, and many other firsts.
They also go through the transitional period in the whelping box (13 to 20 days of age). Eyes open, puppies can hear, they begin to walk in a wobbly fashion. They begin to respond to taste and smell.
We utilize full spectrum lighting durning the daylight hours to augment our window and give them the most natural experience. There is a TV in there generally tuned into HGTV (lots of hammering, sawing, and building sounds) for brief periods, also sports and of course classical music for building great brain potential.
One of us sleep in this room each and every night, to assure the puppie's and momma's well being, up until the time they graduate to the *pre school area in the great room of our home.
Puppy Education
PRE-SCHOOL
What would life be without a great *pre-school experience. The puppies are like sponges and soak in each and every new experience with tails wagging. By the time they enter this area they are already people centric and look to the humans to pick them up, give them attention, and in general make their lives more well rounded. They play hard and sleep soundly.
This is where they go through the awareness period (21 to 23 days) They are able to use their senses of sight and hearing. Learning begins and it is a time of very rapid sensory development.
When the puppies are not occupying this area, this is where our kitchen table sits, so they are indeed smack dab in the center of our hearts and our home.

KINDERGARTEN & RECESS
Recess, also known as “the most important class of all”. :)))
When the door between *pre-school and *recess opens our puppies are exposed to the wide big world outside. This new world of sights, sounds, smells, and adventures fill their puppy senses. At first it seems a bit daunting and they hesitate at the threshold. But that doesn’t last long as soon they are navigating that “first step” with ease and begging for that door to open when they wake up from their naps.
This is the period of primary (3-5 weeks) and secondary learning (6-12 weeks).
UNCLE DUNCAN LEADING THE PROCESSION
Puppy Graduation
As soon as our sweet potatoes are big enough, and have mastered *Recess, they are ready to go “on safari”. This adventure takes them from their semi covered *recess area to the great expanse beyond…. Across the cement patio, toward the green grass, bushes full of fun leaves to play in, and trees to shade them overhead. While on Safari they are allowed to chase the flying fox as well as torment our other standard poodles, running with abandon through the great expanse of grass. They even get to look through the fences at our two horses, we call them 1,000 lb honorary poodles. They are introduced to the sound of the lawn mower, an occasional chain saw cutting trees down in the surrounding forest, and other sounds out on our rural property. Safari is the ultimate experience for this stage in our puppies lives. Field trips happen at six or seven weeks (depending upon the developmental level of each individual litter). This is when they learn about car rides and going out in the world beyond their little world here at Cinnfully Sweet Standards.
